Why is my directv dvr box so slow switching channels and going through the menu?

Question

It didn't seem like it was always so slow. But is there anything I can do to speed it up? Anyone else have this problem?

Answer 1

reboot the system.

hold the power button in until it says "Boot" on your screen on the box itself then release the button.

Answer 2

unplug the receiver for 30 seconds then plug it back in. That's the easiest way to restart ALL receivers (the previous poster is using an older receiver).

If that doesn't help, is your dvr a HD receiver? If so, make sure that native mode is off.
