 |
|
|
I've never had satelite before, always basic cable... but in December I got Direct TV when I moved to NM. In the last month my DVR has been freezing up and I had to reset it. When it does I get the "scanning disk" part that takes forever. First few times it happened it said I had a few hundred errors, but last time I had over 2000 errors and today I had over 5000 errors!!!
Its been scanning since 1000 this morning and is at 24% complete!!!
I called and complained and they are sending me a new DVR which will be here in a couple days.
But what concerns me is it has only been 4 months!!!
Is this something that I can expect with the new DVR or is this just that I got a bad DVR?
Anyone have similar experiences?

Best you can do is try to reset it again, if not just be patient and wait for the new box. But yeah, DirecTV is horrible. Man I hate that company.

Got home from work and it will not start up. Gives me an error message every time.
Good thing a new receiver will be here in a day or two

That's the only way that we have ever been able to resolve this in our house. DTV DVRs are somewhat unstable, my wife had issues with her's where programs would "black out" in the middle of the program and would not come back until she exited completely out of the DVR menu and restarted the program.
