I used my HR20-100's this morning (10/21), but when I got home this afternoon, both were locked-up with no picture. The units were both unresponsive to remote commands and the only button that worked was the little red one.

Any reason both would go belly up like this?

Btw, my HR21-700 is fine.

Both of my HR20 receivers locked up today. I RBR'ed them. Of course I lost all of my planned recording.

As I was sitting here reading through some of the other posts (misery loves company, but I guess I still hope I can find some facts on why D* can't get their act together) my receiver rebooted. About 10:06 Central. I assume this is a master reset.

D* really should give back some money on these things. They obviously still are not ready to be used when you cannot count on your shows recording.

I have rebooted twice and I still can't change channels with the up and down button. Only way to change is using the number pad. I have 2 remotes and both do the same. Everything else seems to work.

Check whether your favorites lists got zapped. Sounds like you're working with a favorites list with no channels--the result will be you can't change channels with the up-down button.

Is anyone able to switch their tuner from dual to single in the satellite setup (slim 5, multiswitch)? It no longer gives me the option since the reboot.

This is causing a pretty big issue for me since my current setup only allows me to have one line in the room where I have the hr-20. Since it won't let me change from dual tuners, I'm getting the "searching for signal on tuner 2" error when trying to watch tv now. My only option if I want to watch in my living room is to run the line from the bedroom out. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the forums, bang! :welcome_s

What happens if you go back into Setup / Sat & Ant / Repeat Satellite Setup, and fully finish all the tests to completion? It should detect tuner 2 is lacking a feed, and display and error message that no signal found on tuner 2, and then when you hit continue, it will reboot into single tuner mode.

Good luck,
Tom

I'm no longer able to play my previously recorded HD shows. When I try to play it, the 480p and 1080i lights alternately blink about every 1/2 second. I tried several shows, and no luck.

I'm able to view HD in real time just fine. Anyone else have similar problems?

I'm running HDMI 1.3 out of the HR20 to my Pioneer SC-05 Receiver.

I've been told rerunning the sat setup cures this.
