When I switched from DISH to DTV a few years ago DISH charged me $10.00 for a missing remote when I sent back their receiver.

Its been on an hour, already at 140 degrees no noise yet.

Hi all, My "leased" HD24 DVR (own 2, lease one) HDD started making alot of noise a few days ago. Now, when used a few hours it will shut down saying its overheated and needs to cool down. Basically, its sitting un-used now. Looking for best way to resolve this issue. Can I call DTV to replace...

...Hmm, I talked to DTV and I asked this very question. He said without plan, no guarantee of what replacement owned model would be but with plan if you exchange a bad owned Hr24, you would get an owned HR24 as replacement (no contract extention. Seems further investigation on this subject is...

..I own two HR24-200 HDDVR's and have a leased HR24-100 HDDVR and come Jan'13 no contract thus no liability to maintain one so no broken contract fees. For me, knowing I can have any package when & how I want saves me money! You do pay a $6.00 a mirror fee but thats it. Also, if you have their...

...Got them off ebay, 2 guys to lookout for are r2nk & sat_owner. Look em up, get the RID# from receiver, call DTV and verify they are owned and woolaa! No contact and they are owned. You will have to order an access card for $20.00 tho, thats the only negative.

...It is nice! and no contract to boot! :D

...I put H24 in 3 locations around my house where the other DTV receivers are, same problem, power light flickers, changes channels and dosen't stop. DTV said sounds like loose wire on board or something broken inside. I will be getting this exchanged for my 3rd HR24 HDDVR. (2 of 3 are owned). :)

lol! Let me explain, I already purchased the H24, I will return it + $118.00 extra. Total is around $285.00 for a owned HR24 HDDVR. My contract is up in 6 months then I will return one HR24 HDDVR and keep my owned HR24 HDDVR and H24 unless I get another HR24 HDDVR instead which is where Im...

...Its owned, I can return it to the guy I got it from and get an owned HR24-100 HDDVR for $118.00 extra. The only thing that worries me is that my leased HR24-100 is real noisy compared to my owned HR24-200.

...THX texasbrit, I will try one last time what you suggested before returning. Also, The only lights that light up on front are the DTV logo and resolution lights, normal?

DTV said issue would need to be elevated up to enginnering level. Think I will return H24 :( and start over. THX all again for all your help/suggestions! Bill

...Looks like what mine is doing. What now has me puzzled is why does it work in living room but not in my bedroom? I looked at the cables and my living room has RG-6 coming out of wall into HR45 but my bedroom has some king of cable tv cable with 57 on it, not RG-6. Also length to room is...

DTV set it up with Whole Home & internet with their Cinema Connection kit. Whats really strange is for the last 3 hours after it went nuts it seems to be functioning normally now. Have tried all functions and it stays locked where I set it. Maybe I wasn't allowing enough time for it to set...

All I got was $5.00 off a month for being enrolled in Auto-Bill pay. Maybe its because I only have 6 months left on my contract and own 2 of my 3 receivers.
