Does your HR-20 ever not turn on till you reset it?

[Optical Serenity]

I love my HR20, please don't get me wrong, but I hate the fact that sometimes (it used to be every month or so) it would not turn on, and I had to push the reset button and then it would go through the whole re-download of the guide, etc...then work...

Anyone else have this issue? What is the solution?

I've had my box for about 7 months. I've never experienced the issue you report. Are you connecting your box to your local network? If so, maybe a device on your network is talking to your box and sending it erroneous data.

Thanks for the reply.

No, ethernet is not connected.

I have an OTA antenna and an AT-9 dish connected.

And, it is outputing via HDMI.

Mine also works perfectly fine.

I had that problem but only once.

If you turn it off wont you miss any recordings you have scheduled while its off? This thing should be designed to stay on 24/7.

Turning it "off" doesn't actually turn it off, it puts it in standby mode (similar to a Tivo). Only way to actually turn it off is to unplug it.

My recommendation is that if you are having problems with it coming out of standby don't put it in standby. There is no reason to as all it does it kill the front panel lights and turn off the outputs.

Having said that, I've personally never had that issue. But then I rarely put it in standby.

Good idea, I'll just reprogram my Harmony to not put it into standby.

It just gets annoying to have to reset the device so often.

Its in the power options to leave it on at all times. I had one remote that didnt have that feature activated and was driving me crazy. Thank goodness its easy to update the remote.

For what its worth I've only had that problem when there was a software update to my HR-20.

I for one put the device into standby when ever I am not actively watching a live or recorded show.

Had this happen for the first time 2 days after the last new update, coincidence? Was recording while off, then I could not turn it on, it still recorded, but would not turn, had to do a hard (pull power) reboot.

Never before, and so far it has not happened again.

Yup, that is exactly what happens. It doesn't come out of standby....

Thanks for the help Brewer4
