This trick worked!!!

[Cobra611]

I'm sure it is posted somewhere here on this site, but I have no idea where to find it. Anyway, just the other day, I posted again about how unbelievably sluggish my receiver has been EVEN after the GUI update. In fact, it got progressively worse. Then a few hours later I was reading some posts on another site, talking about the same thing. One member made a suggestion to help, and with nothing to lose, I tried it. To my complete surprise, it really worked. My receiver has been very responsive and quite quick compared to what I was experiencing. This person said to go to Ch. 1, then press these buttons, RED RED BLUE BLUE YELLOW GREEN. Coincidence or not, I'm just very happy my receiver is functioning this well....for now.

I think that is called the cache clear trick (or similar); its posted but because If all the odd or differing wording they get "lost" it would be nice if this was made a sticky

 

[charper1]

or on 2nd thought is it Red, Red, Blue, Blue, Yellow, Green

Yeah, it's RRBBYG and it does work. I wonder how often you have to do it?
Probably when you see unresponsiveness again.

Well I just did both. The RRGGYB made things faster for sure. But the RRBBYG made them better. Thanks all for the post. I even did the double red button reset yesterday to no avail. This really works!!

I agree this would be nice to have as a sticky.

What that does is clear the NVRAM. i have not heard of it helping for slowness, it normally fixes interactive things like TV apps. But that is awesome! Good to hear.

It helps bring up the full guide faster but the playlist still takes forever to load

Cool, I need to do this too.

How about DirecTV software dev team programming a flush every week or 2 with this macro?

It worked for me . Thank You.

Thank you, this really helps. The HR-24 in the living room is now responsive again.

STICKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried this last night on my HR23. It worked for me too. Prior to tuning to CH 1, pressing the buttons, I rechecked the overall response time, ie, channel-switching, bringing up the "Info" bar, selecting Previous Channels, etc. It had been getting sluggish recently. After I used the procedure, the response time improved by more than I'd anticipated.

Thanks for another good example of knowlege-base-sharing on this forum.

Guide issues is a firmware problem. Was told by people "in the know" at DTV that the fix should be available in about 4-6 months!

"in the know" = too good
