I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago... ( http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-...ml#post2651281 ) and it turned out to be related to the receiver being in an advanced setup of 3 or more receivers in one room (which it was), but for some reason the remote for that unit wasn't set up correctly... it's the least used of the 3 receivers in the room... as I found out by trial and error, the numbers on the remote weren't controlling that unit. I really don't know how else to explain it, but when I isolated the unit and reset the remote to 'non-advanced' mode and confirmed the number pad was controlling that unit, the very next time I tried to enter 02468, it worked like a charm ! Now I have the new HD interface on all 3 boxes (and I couldn't be happier). It was like stepping back into the 90's everytime I had to use that box ...

So anyhow, I don't know if this has anything to do with your issue or not Don, but I thought I would put it out there as food for thought...

Good luck,, Steve
