The movie I am using is a MPG2 and plays, BUT about 10 to 30 seconds into the movie the player resets. Each time is a different reset point but always soon after starting

What causes the reset ?

The computer is wireless to the router and hard wired to the receiver.
The player is DIRECTV2PC Media Server

Thanks

I have the series recording set for House on my local Fox affiliate. It's in the prioritizer - it's in the to-do list - it says for all the world it's supposed to record. However, when 7:00 Central on Mondays rolls around, the receiver won't change channels to record (only have a single tuner hooked up, thanks to a lazy install tech 4 years ago...). It won't even *ask* to change channels.

However, if you pick up the remote and change to the local Fox affiliate, the recording starts from the moment you change the channel (even if it's 15 minutes in) and runs until the end of the program.

Any ideas? I've done about everything I can think of short of a format and reload... :confused: ]]> DIRECTV Plus DVR Discussion Greg D http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=168078 http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=167973&goto=newpost Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:43:50 GMT *Hi, I have a DirecTV R22-100 With HD enabled with current 0368 software version.

My box is connected to internet via Ethernet directly to my DSL Wireless Modem (All in one).

When I download anything from Video On Demand, I have no sound. I have waited until the entire show is downloaded and it plays great but there is no sound at all.

I am having no problems with any other channel other than ALL VOD.

I have recently reformatted my DVR and reset it many times but nothing helps.

Also, I have no other Dvr's with VOD as they are not connected to the internet.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

The worst DVR ever made so far as I know and legions of folks online to back it up! In any case I really hate all DVR+ units, I miss TiVo badly, but I can't get one and DirecTV is the only Viable TV option we have where we live!

Here's where I am starting to get very suspicious. We bought a TiVo for $100 split in three payments years ago and when it died was right about the time TiVo and DirecTV parted company. Even then I just had a feeling that they sent a kill signal, but worse yet is that I know we owned the thing, based on things I found out later yet at the time they told me the only way they'd send us an R15 is if we sent the TiVo back. So we have been through numerous R15s and mostly the issues were with the software, but anyway I picked up another TiVo, that my friend had owned from the same promotion with which we got ours that was in working condition when she switched to Dish, yet when I tried to get that fired up it downloaded some updates and never woked again.

So we tried to go to Dish but where we are they can't get line of sight on their Satellite, which is a bummer because everyone I know who has had both Satellite companies vastly prefer Dish in almost every way. So then I got given from this same girl an old R15 and had it activated in another room. It worked fine for about a week and DirecTV got their $5 a month increase (which is lame), but I had originally asked them for a promotion (just a free non HD receiver but existing DirecTV customers are second class citizens who are treated very poorly even when they have been loyal for years), but the damn receiver was going to go about $70 and also the $5 a month, so I thought this R15 was gonna be fine.

About one week later the hard drive in the R15 is shot (another kill signal? I know it sounds paranoid but if you'd been treated like they treat us...?), so I try to do the formatting trick but only of the four R15's we have had, only one of them ever had working arrow and record buttons on the front, and this one's do not work either, so there seems to be no way to send the signal to format the drive!

What is the deal with the front buttons? Two of the R15s came straight from DirecTV non functional, and I don't even know about this unit. It seems to still work fine other than the buttons and the hard drive, but of course it refuses to work even as a receiver alone if the hard drive goes. I'll be damned if I am buying a receiver from those jerks! I would like to just cancel them and start a new account just to get a reasonable deal from them, but I have heard they like to try and screw you if you try something like that as well.

I'd actually be happy if I could just get this silly R15 to work again, or find another free receiver, which you can always find at garage sales when you have no need of one, but then they hide when you do. Is there any way to fix the front buttons? Does anyone have any advice on getting them to make us a new customer again without them trying to screw with us? I just want another room to work and not get ripped off in the process, is that really so much to ask?!? ]]> DIRECTV Plus DVR Discussion markjs http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=167874
