View Full Version : Reconnecting old HR10

Got my H21 installed yesterday, and I'm holding on to my beloved HR10. The installer disconnected it, and just put the new H21 in its place, so after he left I went to connect the HR10 using some composite cables and going into the AV2 inputs on my Vizio.

I got the usual HR10 boot screens (DirecTV logo, "Almost there, just a few minutes more...") but after that, all I get is a blue screen--I try to go to my Now Playing list, and still nothing. I still have a lot of programs on my HR10, so I obviously want to watch those.

What am I doing wrong?

That "blue screen" is probably being produced by your TV, not the HR10-250. Be sure that the HR10-250's video output resolution is set to 480i (you should be able to switch that on the front panel). Anything higher than 480i (e.g. 720p and 1080i) will blank the composite/SVideo outputs.

Ah, of course! Thanks, that was it.
