    I do not have a bunch of duplicated equipment. I am a software engineer so I fully understand the debugging process. I am hoping for info on known issues, which it seems like everything is pointing to DirecTV issue at this point, mainly because my solid sample size of three says so :) I'll note...

    Is the HR 54 released? Is it known to have better HDCP compatibility?
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks. I have replicated the issue without the Geffen extender. Turn off TV/DVR (whatever Off means to the 44) Switch to HDMI 3. Turn on TV/DVR. Switch to HDMI 1. No signal to the TV. Turn off TV/DVR. Turn on TV/DVR See a message about the TV not supporting copy protection for a second...

    Hey just wanted to chime in and say thanks, this thread helped me resolve my issue. I will list it here so maybe it helps someone else out. I bought a Sony HT-ST9 Sound Bar, hooking my HR400/500 into HDMI 1, Apple TV into HDMI 2, and PS4 into HDMI 3. HDMI out went to my Samsung UN65F8000 TV...

    Someone above says their HR44 is doing it also, so I don't think it is model specific.
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    DirecTV insists on shipping us a new DVR (not sure which model, we have a 34/700) so we'll see if that does anything for this issue (I am doubtful)

    Is this 0x929 that I got on 10/14? I just got a terrible Amazing Race on CBS tonight.

    Thanks all!

    Hi! We have a HR34 and are pretty happy with it, other than some pixellation from time to time. We are past our 2 year contract, which is nice. Is there any reason to upgrade to the current generation of Genies? I saw the new wireless mini, which might be nice if we decide to get a TV for...

    Are any of you with issues using DECAs? I am using that to pass Ethernet from upstairs to downstairs.

    ok! We have this same recording from Vancouver WA. We have had NO pixellation and we're at minute 16. This is very interesting indeed, because Amazing Race last sunday was terrible. I had a theory it was some data or something. It may still be. Maybe CBS' transcoders are triggering this...

    Am sending a report now. We had a lot of this nonsense last fall, and REALLY bad on Amazing Race on CBS 6. We are in the Portland area. Then it went away. Until tonight when Amazing Race started up and it is completely unwatchable. We have been letting the disk get a little more full. We...

    We are on 7e5 and we're getting the first bad pixellation (again on CBS, again on Amazing Race) since last fall. I guess it's time to call DirecTV and demand a fix or new box.

    Going through our content, CBS and NBC shows have problems. No problems on AMC nor TNT yet. No live issues on Logo TV.

    I ran the SMART test and it is reporting a (3011) FAIL. Is this a true failing of the HDD? I've never had SMART on any drive report anything but pass before :) Update: I ran anotherr SMART short test and it passed.

    Thanks for your help, Stuart! I've used SmartSearch to send a report.
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I did a search for SENDREPORT and did not find how to send a report to the engineers :(
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    We started noticing the pixelation/stuttering/pausing about a week ago. First it was on NBC on SNL, but not ESPN. We've seen it on CBS/Amazing Race tonight. It happens at sporadic rates, sometimes 10 minutes in between, sometimes back to back to back. We got our HR-34 in Feb of 2012. We are...

    No. We just started getting the flashing/pixelation issue, which is why I am here, I am on 744. I need to figure out what this is about. HR-34 also.
