Receiver froze up?

[charper1]

i wasnt thinking the poster was specifically talking about the CE program.. yet a swipe at the DirecTV units in general

My problem is fixed!!

Yipee!

It was the remote, somehow during the day (all those reboots, resets, cursing, etc) the remote went to IR and the receiver was in RF.

Many thanks to D*** cr Amy who figured it out in a snap

Also, many thanks to those who gave me a hand today, I learned lots of stuff
listening to you guys and I've committed it all to memory and paper!

Your HR22 was a brick when you got it, just didn't know it at the time !

What is it doing and what have you tried ?

How about your HR20?

Hang on , I'll try it.

I didn't know that the TV Apps thing was Network dependent, my HR20 is not connected to my network at the moment so it is giving me an error stating so.
When I moved it to the bedroom I didn't think about the network part.

Hang on , I'll try it.

I'm going to reboot again and see if I get it back.

it refuses to respond to remotes. i've unplugged it and reset it several times

Someone else mentioned about the remote being on IR instead of RF or vice versa, check you remote settings and see if that helps.

Did you make sure your remote is in IR mode and not RF. Might be possible it switched with all the rebooting.

I have the protection plan, But what the heck, Its still a big Pain in the A$$.
HR20 was the best. They might have been slow but atleast they worked.

I've got the protection plan, but when I called to activate a replacement H20 (2 years ago) they tacked-on 2 years citing activation of the new device. They said the plan only covers the cost of the replacement equipment, activating still triggered a new commitment.
