This happened on one of my HR21-700's last night (12/29). When we turned on the box it was on FOX News Channel HD but would not respond to remote control or the buttons on front of the box. I did the red reset button trick. This always fixed it before when that happened.
I left the room, and when I came back in there was a blue screen that said "A problem has been detected with your hard drive. The drive will be scanned to see if it can fix it." It took about 90 minutes to scan. Made it to 100%. After it finished scanning, it rebooted and went through the startup sequence. It got to "Checking satellite settings" and stayed there for several seconds and then went through the blue screen hard drive problem and scanned again.
After it scanned twice with the same result I unplugged the box and left it unplugged for a minute or so. Same result when I plugged it back in. I called support this morning from work but they said that I needed to be in front of my tv when I called.
Has anybody else ever encountered this? Is there a fix for this or am I looking at getting a new DVR?
