    HR44 with 5 Mini's

    None of my 5 mini are operating correctly since the last DTV update on Jun 29th.

    All the menus are trashed.

    DTV support is clueless about the issue.

    Resetting the devices does not fix the issue.


    It is amazing how sloppy ATT is releasing buggy code.

    How do you fix this.

    I can not read any of the menus.

    Did you reset the 44 also ?
    Have you tried unplugging the ac power from all devices, then start with the 44 and then 1 client at a time to restart them ?

    Thanks for responding. Did what you suggested and it worked for awhile, normal menus. However, the reset did not hold.

    Menus are intermittently changing to my screen picture. Everything worked perfectly before this recent update.

    Does anyone at ATT QA their updates.

    Wired clients or wireless - if wireless also reboot the DTV wireless router also

    I am Ethernet connected into the SWM via my router. I can easily restart the router.

    However, ATT should not do an update that trashes customers setups.

    This stuff should work, and not require massive restarts, resets, etc.

    Go into setup on the 44 and go to Display. One setting in that area lets you choose the color of the bars around a picture that does not fit the screen, say an old SD program. If it is set to gray, change it to black. That setting might be related to your problem.

    You are the only person as far as I know that has reported this problem. So whether the update trashes customers setups is still unknown. Maybe you have a different issue not related to the update.

    Could be a HR44 issue. Am not experiencing any issues with my HR54-200 (0x1088) - C61K-700 (0x100f) setup.
