My Direct TV HD DVR Keeps s******g up.?

Question

okay My direct HD DVR MUST love the Bermeuda triangle because it seems to go there when i tell it to go to a channel we have. cause it will flip and go to black then wont even listen to any command you give it. Im starting to think the best way to fix it is to drag it out back and make it go the way of old yeller. TIVO IS MUCH BETTER DONT GET DIRECT TV DVRS

Answer 2

Ya, well I would recommend Directv HD DVR because I have one and never had problems, but as with any newer complicated HD technology equipment - I'm sure there are faulty ones, which is why they offer a service plan to either fix or replace them.  You apparently didn't get that, so either buy another one or get a Tivo since you like it better.

When they're new they usually need to be reset a couple times, and then occasionally after that, or unplug and then let it reboot and load everything back up.  Also, make sure your remote has fresh batteries.
