Went to bed last night with my living room HR-20 working fine. I woke up this morning, and couldnt get the unit to do anything. Wouldnt turn on with the remote or the buttons on the unit. I unplugged it and it started up fine. No problems. Just wondering if they did something las tnight to cause this.

Another guy at DBS had the same problem on his HR-21
HR21 would not turn on - DBSTalk.Com

Any ideas?

Unit wont respond until after a RBR (for some) or unplugging the unit

Networking issues after reboot
Users reporting multiple reboots
Sluggish remote response
Two users reporting the problem with the R-22 also
Remote codes for TV erased
POSSIBLE HDMI output issue reported by one poster
A couple of reports of "channel not available" after reboot
Reports of lost recordings (possible limited to external drives?)
(At least one poster is saying it effected his old Tivo box in some way)
Hanging up on 97% after reboot in some cases
Incorrect clock times
Guide only shows channel that the DVR is tuned to
System locking up after you choose delete recording
Many posters having to reboot a few hours after doing it the first time
Many reports of locking up again (around 11:45 central time)
Cooling fan running at full speed before reset

I had the same problem with my HR-21 this morning. Unplugged and then it went through searching for satellites, etc. and then worked fine.

Same here!

ditto

ditto ditto - but mine eliminated several of my local channels only when it came back on - I tried to add Channel 6 and pressed select the unit froze again then shut itself off and restarted. Checked the info screen and there is no current date for any software that was downloaded.

I had the same problem with my HR20-700 this morning. Hit the reset button...booted up fine.

Ok, then it wasn't just me.

This is kinda wierd. Something in the stream during the night?

Seems to be a widespread problem. There is already a three page thread on DBS about it.

Can we get some more attention on this over here? See if we can find out whats going on?
