There was a update to our stream. Please press the red reboot button and wait 15 minutes for the box to go back to normal functions.

so it looks like they fixed it...as long as you do a reboot

I feel stupid: where is that button? Thanks!

On the HR24, flip the access card door down, and the little red button should be right there. Not sure what model is in this picture/article, but it's close enough: Noobie : Blog : How to reset your DIRECTV DVR when it locks up

[Cached:20:37:15-20:57:15]recent slowness on DVRs | High Definition Digital Video | DIRECTV Technical Help Forums For those people who have seen a sudden slowdown on their DVRs (like 30 seconds of blank/grey screens when changing channels), this was NOT caused by a software update. It was triggered by a problem in the DirecTV data stream that only affected DVRs that were left in standby for a period. The faulty data has been corrected. A reboot will clear the effects of the faulty data (it has on my two DVRs). Receiving the new software version will have the same effect. Note: This is NOT going to solve all the "my DVR is slow" reports. It should return the DVR response to where it was a month or so ago.

I received a software update overnight that has cleared up the problem for me. 0x4a8

Will the red button re-boot delete our saved recordings??

Thanks!!

 

[generix]

Nope, it's the equivalent to the "Restart Receiver" command you can find in the menus. It's mostly just a power-cycle for the device.

nope. The only one that removes everything is "reboot everything". Red button reboot is the same as unplugging the unit for 30 seconds

My DVRs are never in standby and all of them have experienced the delays in changing channels, so if DIRECTV identified "standby" as the root cause I hope they continue to investigate... I'm still seeing longer than normal delays changing channels, even after restarting on my own and even after receiving the software push yesterday morning.

Are you saying you never turn off your dvrs?

Are you saying you never turn off your dvrs?

I do, but as you know they really don't turn off.

 

[raoul5788]

I do, but as you know they really don't turn off.

True, but that's what standby mode is, yes?

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah that is what standby would be considered

 

[RandallA]

Is it me or the receivers are more responsive now after the update? They feel a lot faster.

 

[Mr Tony]

mine is still trucking along just fine...very minimal delays

 

[charper1]

I am still on CE firmware and nary an issue; very speedy too

 

[tigerfan33]

What did the latest firmware update give us on the HR24?
