Thread: DirecTV HR2x Mass Lockups overnight 10/6

My HR22 was locked up this morning. It was on but wouldn't respond to remote commands. RBR seemed to fix. I had my local channels this morning. However, I didn't think to check on anything else before I left. I didn't even turn on my HR20 so I don't know if it had any problems. I'll check when I get home from work.

My HR-21 was locked up too now its up and running

i needed to unplug both of my boxes this morning to reboot!

I tried to change channels at about 3:30 AM when I discovered the problem. Unplugged both of my HR's at that time and that fixed everything.

Just finished getting my HR20-100 back up. Had to unplug and let it reboot. Seems fine now. Rest of my regular H boxes are OK.

Yeah that fits into the time frame that I am hearing. I was wondering how it looked if someone was watching

Its odd, if they didnt do a HR specific update, that no other series of boxes had a problem. I would think the H series would have had the same problem

Edit: At least two have reported the R-22 was having the same problem added it to the list in the first post

Current programming kept playing, couldn't change channnels.

Same here both of my HR20's were locked. One was on all night kept playing tv but would not respond to commands. The other would not come on. Rebooted both and all is well. Didn't lose any favorites, recordings or upcoming to dos.
