<div class="bbWrapper">Hi All...I&#039;m<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused :confused:" data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />..having a problem with DTV DVR 22. It has worked great for the last three months &amp; now it went into&quot; updating software&quot; mode. About every 20 minutes it starts downloading the software, but never completes the process. Any one with any good ideas on how to fix this problem? Does it have anything to do with which transpnder it does the download on? <br /> Looking forward to your answers.<br /> Thanks<br /> <br /> mrfredted</div>

Is this an HR22? Are you interrupting the process in any way? Have you tried unplugging the dvr for 15 minutes and then plugging it back in? That could do the trick.</div>

Called DTV, spoke to a very nice tech support person who actually listened to me when I told her I had tried everything. No scripts, no nonsense, just a new receiver on its way.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>dtv receiver</b><br /> <br /> Thanks all your the replies. There are a total of three DTV R22s that are doing exactly the same thing. Yes, I tried to unplug for up to overnight y no success. I think it may be a problem with the R22s, I did read they are discontinued. Any more suggestions are all greatly appreciated.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused :confused:" data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /><br /> <br /> mrfredted</div>

How many receivers? Is there a multiswitch or do you have SWM?</div>

More clues! Like wildbill129 asked, are you using a multiswitch or SWM? I am guessing there is an issue with a multiswitch. If you have one, bypass it and see if that fixes the problem. If so, you need a new switch.</div>

I moved the other HD bo<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="x(" title="Mad x(" data-smilie="4"data-shortname="x(" />not sure of model number) into the HR22&#039;s spot and all worked well.<br /> <br /> The HR22 is working fine for me now.</div>

I didn&#039;t notice that. Good catch. That certainly could be the cause, but he said it worked fine for three months, so I am no so sure. I still suspect the multiswitch.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>dtv r22</b><br /> <br /> Thanks for all the input...yes, we have other DTV receivers working well here. The problem seems to be with the R22s.
