Thread: DirecTV HR2x Mass Lockups overnight 10/6

DBS is saying D* has identified an issue with the transmission and is in the process of correcting it. I wonder what type of problem they're talking about?

Mine wouldn't respond to the reset button. Tried it twice, the power LED was dim for a sec then went off, both times. Pulled the plug for 20 sec, and had to press-and-hold the power button on the unit. Didn't check my favorites or other settings.

Is this some joker at D*, infecting us with a DVR virus?

im glad it isnt just me had to power reboot my hr20-700 and red button reboot 3 times already today

Mine did that too. The RBR eventually responded after about a minute or so.

My HR20-700 was dead this morning, also. RBR didn't work, I had to unplug it. After it rebooted, it wouldn't respond to the remote. This time the RBR did work. When everything was up and running again, many of my favorites were gone, so I had to redo them. Also, when it rebooted it said I had new software, but the info says that the last update was in July! Edit: My external hd seems to be fine. (I hope!)

Yesterday I was hooking up my H20-100 around 12:30 for football. I had to unplug/replug it in like 5 times to get it to work. I would plug it in and like the 720p resolution light would light up for a second and then turn off and nothing would happen. I switched the plug port on my Surge Protector and then it seemed to work, but I was super worried that my H20 had died. Maybe it was just a coincidence. I haven't had a chance to test my HR20 since last night. As of the 10th inning of the Sox/Angels game it was working fine.

Mine locked up again! Had to reset. Remote won't turn it on, neither with the power button on the front of the box! UGH!

Well hopefully they will have this sorted out before tonight. As a poster said, they know what the problem is now, and are working on it

what is up today with D* are they doing some testing that is causing these lockups?
