Lights blinking on H20. Goes from 480,720,1080, etc

It says hello and then it goes black and lights just pace across the different formats. Is my H20 bricked or is there something I can do to fix it? I'm going to check to see if it was part of that recall last year but I'm not sure. Hopefully I can get it working.

Thanks.

I would suggest making sure that nothing is laying on your remote (such as stuck in a couch cushion).... if not: unplug the unit for 15 minutes, then plug back in and report what happens.

Will do. Unplugged unit for about 3 minutes and remote was not touched.

Thanks.

How is your weather right now, especially south of you?

Also: be sure to leave the unit unplugged for a solid 15 minutes.

I would actually take the batteries out of the remote to make sure it's not a stuck button. Probably isn't, I'm just saying.

Sometimes it's the less obvious things..... ;)

Now the thing gets no power at all. Guess it is time to call direct tv.

Was that 15 minutes already?

If so: leave it plugged in and let it sit for a bit.

Those are common symptoms of a dead Receiver. Call DirecTV for a replacement.
