Anyway to get rid of the annoying popup "To record episode press R on your remote control" on my HR34 and genie that keep coming up on the channels I watch the most, and it seems like it gets on more channels as I watch more programming as I am a new directv customer. I have recording tips off, have genie set to off, have tried red button reset, but nothing works!

Yeah recording tips are off yet it still pops up. Pushing record button records the program. Once deleted samething reappears. Is anyone else having this problem too?

been there, done that...I take it that some arent receiving this message? I dont get in on all channels but only on popular channels. my locals, cnn, fox, etc. I have done all that is suggested. always figured it was a software bug that would eventually get fixed , but have had updates since if first reared its ugly head with no fix.

I ended up unplugging the receiver for a good amount of time, and after plugging it in and everything reseting it went away! Thank you for all the help especially the last post as that seemed to have resolved the problem by having receiver unplugged for a prolong time.

how long did you leave it unplugged and exactly what did you do , if anything, after plugging it back in and after reboot? I tried this and it failed to solve the problem but I only left it unplugged about 2 or 3 minutes. I also tried to reset defaults but that didnt work either
I had genie unplugged for over 30 mins I believe. Try that, it resolved my this issue on both the genie and the client. I didn't touch the client however.
This morning the record pop up appeared on CH 206 espn! I checked the other channels it came on before it hasn't reappeared yet but I have a feeling it will eventually.

I'll try that as well. Something I realized is if you unplug the receiver twice within a 10min span(i've heard within 30 works too) it flushes out the guide and that popup disappears for a few days, but does pop back up after a few days. I'll try the 5 series links after it starts popping up again.

2 reboots within a 30 minute timespan flush the guide data, todo list, "My DirecTV, sometimes logos, etc. It can take up to 48 hours for all of that stuff to rebuild.
You should never just unplug the receiver unless it is completely locked up and unresponsive. You should use the GUI menus to perform a reboot whenever possible.
I have the same problem. Also have recording tips off, etc.
What do you mean by record 5 series links (I'm new to the Genie). Do I have to constantly have 5 series links set to record?
By resetting to default, what am I wiping out? In other words do I have to re-enter my networking information, i.e. router password and all that?
I tried turning tips back on and then off, and then as it happened I had to reboot the genie for another reason. Still getting that popup. Oh, and the reason I came here is because now it pops up in the middle of watching a show even when I didn't change the channel!!! Grrrr...
I believe he means set up series links for 5 different shows. I think if you let all 5 record at least one episode you can then delete all 5 series links and the pop-up still shouldn't come back.
I am getting some new information on this... it might be necessary to leave the series links on the DVR for an extended period. Of course you could just ignore them or set up series links for reruns of The Brady Bunch and tell it "new episodes only."
