Hr44 is Freezing on commercials

It's a known issue on some inserted commercials, happened a lot last year but we thought it had been fixed.

 

It happens especially when they insert those PPV ads from Directv.

 

Have you tried the CLEARMYBOX search do clean it out and reload the offending commercials ?

 

Wait, what do you mean reload commercials? Does Directv saves their commercials on the dvr so they can trigger when whenever they want?

 

Yes, these local commercials are stored on the DVR and then inserted into the programming.

 

When you look at an HD receivers program guide and an HDDVRs you will not see the banners that show up on the DVR. That tells me that they are stored. I would think it is not different with the commercials.
Local commercials are stored in many instances on DVRs.
I have no proof but this is what I believe to be correct.

 

So, let's say that I'm watching the same channel in different rooms. One tv has a dvr and the other tv with a basic stb without dvr. Will I get two different commercials on the tv without the dvr when because nothing can be stored on that stb?

 

I have 1 of each but could not answer that from experience because me and my son never watch the same channels.

 

correct. Is. It unusual to see a national commercial on your HD receiver and local inserted ad on your DVR at the same time.

last Monday night , watching monday night football, during commercial, our hr44-500 completely froze and no button on the remote did anything. I had to do red button reset and then the unit wouldnt get passed 771 looking for satellite signal. I checked my H25 in the bedroom and all was well so it just had to be the genie. did another RBR and everything booted up . no issues since,but do occasionally get digital pixelization on dvr recorded shows mainly on some network channels

 

By the same token, when "streaming" a recording from the DVR to the receiver (H25) the DVR-inserted ads are ignored and not streamed to the receiver, while they'll still play on the DVR in the same spot of the program.

The receiver just plays the "original" content of the broadcast. (However, this can sometimes include material inserted by DirecTV "over" a national ad, but technically would've had to have been present in the satellite broadcast and "inserted live" by DirecTV at that time.)

In other words, I've never seen an inserted "local" ad from any national channel on the H25 receiver, whether live or from a DVR program played through it.
