So weird. Yeah, I don't have anything like that, and as far as I can tell, even when it popped, it didn't display differently. Hopefully it does stay that way now though. =)

Mine seems to always show "Dolby D + [DD]S", which is what it seems to always show on most of the HD channels. I never see any Pro Logic stuff, though I think the mode can be manually toggled on my equipment. Note: [DD] denotes the Dolby Digital symbol. My receiver is a Marantz SR-7011. I...

I was surprised they didn't argue as well... So, I've only watched a little CNN since then...but...I haven't noticed audio pops yet as of a day or two ago. Maybe they actually fixed it!? Either that or I've just gotten "lucky" when it's been on...we shall see. P.S. I'm not getting into...

FYI, I chatted with a representative tonight and he said he'll escalate the issue and see if they can figure out what's going on. While I know enough not to be super optimistic in these situations, I was impressed he didn't make me go through the reboot receiver/check signal/etc. dance that I...

Hey there - thanks for chiming in! It's actually amazing to know I'm not alone here, but I'm sorry you're experiencing the same thing. It's interesting to learn it happens on TV speakers as well. I was curious about that. I have my receiver set to Auto and automatically decode whatever is...

Hi all, I'm having an issue with my HR54 and the HD feed of CNN on DirecTV (channel 202). For the last 6 months or so (kept expecting it to get fixed, but it hasn't been), I've had frequent audio clipping/popping on this channel only. It seems to be a single loud "pop" coming from the rear...

Could be he had bad information - I'm just repeating what he told me; no idea where he got it from, though. He really didn't like those HS-17's, so it could be wishful thinking on his part too.

Honestly, he didn't elaborate. Just said a new standalone receiver *may* be coming, but who knows how reliable that is. I too would assume 4K would be the primary reason. Could be additional storage or features as well...maybe a speed upgrade. We won't know unless it happens.

Welp, no luck getting the stuff back. But the guy was very nice and greatly improved my cable issue outside the house (which he didn't have to do). He basically told me to stay away from the HS-17 for my setup (didn't add anything and still had some bugs) and ran some additional tests on the...

Jimbo, long test already passed okay. Took maybe 3-4 hours, nowhere near 24. Trying the Clear My Box now (another thing new I learned). Thanks for the suggestion! Can't hurt! [Finished and still showing the same at boot, but I'll give it some time to see if that changes.] Re the HS17, I...

Welp, tried the only 3 options available to me in the menu: - Clear Cache - Short SMART Test - Long SMART Test Status of all was PASSED.

Welp I got into the diagnostic modes via a post I found. Ran a HDD SMART short test and it Passed. Doing the Long Test now. Yeah. I'm at a loss as to what could have happened. It's certainly possible the signal loss was a coincidence, though it certainly *seems* like the triggering event...

Just as a followup, I checked the history of the box (I had looked before, but hadn't scrolled far enough) and see "This episode was deleted by .(1001)" Some just have the ".", others say "LR1" (Living Room 1), and there doesn't seem much of a rhyme or reason to which say which or even which...

Will do and thanks. I'd be more confident about the shows coming back if the space free didn't increase, but let's hope you're right. If not, I've already gone through and made a rough list of what I lost so hopefully I can find a way to stream them. But ugh... At any rate, I really do...

Thanks for the help! Already tried a reboot, both of the HR54 and the Genie Mini 4K connected to it (and another with the mini completely powered off just in case the mini did something...). Showing the same thing unfortunately. I'll definitely retry when the dish is repointed. I only have...
