    Austin TX locals are back. According to my most recent transponder map, locals are on 99S Transponder 17, which is showing the following signal strength:

    FX is not affected.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I am seeing no signal on 99S, which carries all of my Austin, TX, local channels. I am relieved that the issue is not limited to my setup. And as always, I am fortunate to have a working AM21 as a backup for local broadcast recordings. :)

    Well, it seems that replacing the hard drive is what actually resolved the issue. Shows what you know. Perhaps you should take a break...

    Depending on your requirements, you could consider replacing the internal drive with a larger one (or an SSD if you want a quieter solution), and this may fix the error. BTW, how do you know it is a new unit and not a refurbished unit?
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes, it was active several year ago before I upgraded to a HR54. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My bedroom HR24 lost audio on the HDMI output as well. I used a digital audio cable for audio instead and it has been an acceptable workaround. I was afraid that if I asked for a replacement HR24 that I would end up going through a support nightmare like Mike experienced. Side question: I...

    Sorry, not an option for me. I want internet connectivity. Someone is likely to know how to determine the URL that results in the unwanted screen saver images. That’s what I am looking for.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    A number of months ago we were seeing promotional videos appearing when video is paused. By including several URL's in the router's blocking list, the promotional videos went away, replaced by the familiar DTV bouncing logo. Unfortunately, the promotional videos have returned, along with the...

    Interesting. When I scan for OTA channels, I get quite a few hits. However, I have not tried viewing any channels outside the primary channels for NBC, CBS, etc. so I don't really know if any of the other channels are blocked from viewing.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thank you for sharing your experiences. Since my original post, my suspicions are that the AM21 may be causing the HR54 to lock up, not the eSATA drive or enclosure. I re-connected the AM21 several days ago to test out my suspicions, but so far everything has been stable. An intermittent...

    -700 (as per my sig…)
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have an AM21 connected to my HR54 and can confirm that it works fine.

    How does the remote work? RF or IP?

    Refresh my memory--where can I get a (new) Gemini Air for $120? A new device from Solid Signal os listed as $199.
  16. Internet Streaming Services
    Link please. And it has channel numbers?

    I have always wondered why there isn't a "Dislike" button. And if a forum participant's dislikes exceeded a threshold, he would be automatically banned. Like this: Anyone else in favor of this suggestion? Maybe a little harsh... 😉

    I ran diagnostics on the drive and it passed. Wouldn't that rule out the drive or the eSATA port?
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Perhaps, but a competent customer service organization would have advised me of the delay. I'll give them a call. I really no longer need a replacement. Are you suggesting there are no longer any new HR54's?
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have a request. For those of you who want to continue to discuss which DVR supports 4K, please create a separate thread. It is completely disrespectful to hijack my thread for this inane, off-topic discussion. We deserve better behavior, especially from long-time forum participants.
