My HR-24 temp is showing 140 degrees, is this normal? Or is that on the high side? I am not sure, but the fan(s) may have quit on it. The fan(s) have been making a lot of noise over the past few weeks.
Temp. for HR-24.

Yeah, that is what I thought, sounds like the fan(s) might have kicked out. Looks like it's time to call Directv, I just wish there was a way to transfer or save all the recordings to my genie since the HR-24 might have to be replaced.
That's why I don't recommend using a dvr to archive recordings. I try not to have more than 10 or 20 hours of recordings. That way if I have to lose them it's not so bad. Some people have 2 and 3 tb hard drives with hundreds of hours of recordings. If the dvr goes south, so do the recordings.
If you reboot and the box is over the temperature limit it will not boot until it cools down.
At that point, Directv should replace the box.

I'll give that a try, since I really do not want it replaced unless it is really necessary.
127* is typically the limit, anything above that I would be concerned.
127*was the highest the old HR 20 would get, without causing problems.
Fwiw, my 4 HR24s usually run between 107* & 117*.

Like was mentioned previously, IF its way too hot, the unit will tell you to wait till it cools down and once the internal temp drops low enough it will start playing.
IF i recall, the internal temp needed to drop to like 135* then it would activate.
