    We have an HR-44 setup with two HR-24's. We can't access on demand on the HR-44. Ran system test and it says everything is okay, internet is connected. I can go to either of the HR-24's and have no problem getting on demand. Any ideas what's going on??

    Any error message? “can’t access” is not enough to go by.

    First thing to try is resetting your DVR/Receiver using the red button behind the front panel access card door. See if that helps. ( on side panel on H25 receivers

    How are you connecting your DirecTV® receivers to the internet?

    Press the DASH key on your remote control, does the pop up message indicates “Internet: CONNECTED"?

    How long has the HR44 been connected to the internet? It can take a few days before OnDemand is working.

    This is true, and if you reset it, it make take a few days again.

    I have tried resetting the HR44. Still cannot get on demand.

    The receivers are connected to the Internet through a broadband DECA connected to my router.

    When I press the dash button on the remote, it says Internet is connected.

    As I said originally, I can access on demand on either of the two HR24's.

    The HR44 has been connected for a couple of months.

    As far as an error message, it just says "xxxx (channel name) is currently not available" where xxxx is the on demand channel number.

    I know we have been able to access on demand on the HR44 previously.

    Thanks for the CLEARMYBOX advice. I did that after I got home yesterday and after a few hours, was able to get VOD again.
