    CNNHD (202) Frequent Audio Pops (5.1)

    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. =)

    CNNHD (202) Frequent Audio Pops (5.1)

    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...

    CNNHD (202) Frequent Audio Pops (5.1)

    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...

    CNNHD (202) Frequent Audio Pops (5.1)

    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...

    CNNHD (202) Frequent Audio Pops (5.1)

    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...

    CNNHD (202) Frequent Audio Pops (5.1)

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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.

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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.

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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.

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    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...

    New Roof & HR54 Wiped Out Most of my Programming!? Any hope?

    Hey all, So I've had an HR54/200 for years with no major issues. Been working well. I'm far behind on my programs, though, so had a little over a year of them. Storage was low (~6%) but not so low I was losing anything, and I was finishing off some streaming shows to hopefully get more space...

    New GUI/Interface - Any way to see record dates in List?

    Thanks much for the response. I was able to generate a list of sorts (my own on the computer lol) to help keep me on track at a glance, but it is unfortunate this functionality is removed. I was fine with the interface before as well. I will say, this seems faster on my box, and some of the...

    New GUI/Interface - Any way to see record dates in List?

    Hey all, So I got the new GUI/DirecTV interface a few weeks ago. Overall, I actually like it. I think it's a bit faster and works well for most things. BUT, I just found a glaring issue for me that may make me change how I watch things if I can't find a solution. I don't think there is one...

    66 (FOX/Jet24 out of Erie) Audio Sync Issues

    Alright, this is just odd. Just for kicks, I tried making the box switch up resolution from the native 720p to 1080i...and ever since, this is looking fine to me again. I don't get it. Maybe it's something with the 720p image processing, as I know most HD channels aren't in that format. But...

    66 (FOX/Jet24 out of Erie) Audio Sync Issues

    So I was at my mom's tonight for a bit, and sure enough, her 66 (also through DirecTV) does this lip sync issue as well. She's got completely different equipment to me, so I think that rules out equipment. We both are connected via HDMI, hers direct to the TV, mine through a stereo receiver...

    66 (FOX/Jet24 out of Erie) Audio Sync Issues

    PM'ed back - I can't try OTA, but I'll check this channel at a relative's when I get the chance later this week to see if her setup encounters this also. Thanks!

    66 (FOX/Jet24 out of Erie) Audio Sync Issues

    Sent you a PM but I'll post it here just for other's reference: Hi there - thanks for looking into this! So I just tried Gotham and am seeing the same issue. I also just tuned in live (an infomercial) and am seeing it as well. It seems constant on this channel. The faster the talking, the...

    66 (FOX/Jet24 out of Erie) Audio Sync Issues

    Hey all, Wondering if anyone else is experiencing audio out of sync on channel 66 (FOX) out of Erie, PA? I'm not sure how long it's been going on, but I've noticed it at least the last several weeks (during The Orville in my case). It's distracting enough to warrant watching another source...

    Keep Old Box + Get New Box? Possible? (DTV says No)

    Awesome - thanks for all the great info. =) I will give this another try and order the equipment. Appreciate the feedback/help!

    Keep Old Box + Get New Box? Possible? (DTV says No)

    Thanks much for the response! Yes, I'd be glad to pay the extra to keep the HR24 for a while. (I'd then send it back once finished with my shows.) One thing I'm not sure of tho' - if I keep it with my current TV setup, it would stand to reason the new box would need the dual cables to it. So...
