    I am having a problem with choppy motion / frame dropping on my HR44. Only seems to happen on ABC, NBC and CBS shows and only recorded shows. Not all shows. Problem is intermittent. Problem ceases during commercials. Watching the same recording on another TV in the house does not exhibit the...

    I have a HR44-700 that has been only pixelating on recordings. It does not happen during live TV or on other DVR's (I have 2 HR24). It does not matter what channel is recorded. The software that is on the system is 0X11b2 and I have had the HR44 since it came out. Has anyone else had this...

    My HR44 has been doing this thing for a couple of months where a bunch of shows just disappear from the playlist. They aren't deleted, they just don't show on the list. When you reboot, they show again. And then a week or two later it happens again. Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix...

    I have the above mentioned Dvr. The past 2 days I am getting a constant Overheating message. It pops up every 10-20min and it stays on the screen for about 1-2 minutes then goes away. The receiver never shuts down. I checked the internal temp in settings it ranges from 104-108 never anything...

    Hi all - (I posted a similar threat over in the AT&T community forum) My HR44-700 has been working well for over a year, and then a few weeks ago it stopped recognizing my Wifi router. Working with DirectTV technical support, it appears: - the config options no longer show any Wifi options...

    Hello, I currently have an HR44-200. I was on the phone the other day with DirecTV and they offered up a free HS17. Does it require a new dish? Thanks

    Have not posted in a while but thought I'd share an observation in case it may help some one else. I recently Purchased a Netgear EX3700 Extender and found it not working on the 5Ghz channel? After working with Support, they appeared to be unable to help. After further research I saw a...

    I'm a new DirecTV customer and I’ve been getting pretty regular temperature warnings from my HR44 and just want to ask if this is normal. My house is set at 76 degrees; the HR44 is in a cabinet that I measure at 80 degrees. When I measure the HR-44 the temps range from mid-80s to almost 100...

    When pressing the guide button on the HR44, it sometimes will always be on 304 in the guide even though you might be on channel 7 or something else., you must hit 7 and enter to get to the current program, this is not new, but I cannot find any threads about it -WR

    Hi everyone. Any suggestions would be welcome to resolve: My HR44-200 Genie was updated May 3 with a normal update. Since then, an annoying problem has occurred: When I'm at the end of playing back a recording, it takes over 2 minutes for the option to "Play Next" or "Cancel" to appear. If I...

    Greetings, I am putting this info here as a courtesy, since I have searched extensively and haven't really found correct info pertaining to my situation. My installation as initially configured in 2013: HR44 base unit, 3 clients (one C31 mini, 2 Samsung RVU) The HR44 is hooked up via coax for...

    Sorry if this post is redundant, but I've read so much...and much conflicting information online. Here is my current setup.. I have a Direct HR44-700 DVR with Whole Home enabled. I just purchased a LG 60UH8500 Smart TV that has the Directv app. I get the 4 digit code from the direct...

    I have a DirecTV system at home, which includes a Genie (HR44-500) in the living room, feeding a pair of mini-Genies (C41W) in two different bedrooms through a wireless video bridge (WVBRO-25) that is also located in the living room near the Genie. My system also has an HD DVR (HR24-500) in the...

    Here's my situation: we moved about a month ago. The installer put a new dish in and ran new coax for my HR44, C41, and HR24. Everything worked fine. Since then the HR44 has frozen a couple of times and I had to RBR and I have had about three or four random 771 errors but all of the channels...

    Last week, I know my HR44 wifi/OnDemand was working fine. Then on Friday, we tried to get an OnDemand movie but it kept stalling about 80% through the "preparing for playback" phase. So I did the usual thing and checked the settings. It showed that it was connected but both OnDemand and Mobile...

    In my house I have my main Genie (HR44) this comes in from the switch through a power inserter. I imagine that this is connected to my wireless network since no ethernet is running to the receiver. This is located in my basement media room. Then I have a coax going into a DECABB1MRO-01...

    I go to people's houses to fix computers and technical problems. Here in San Francisco, I had a client the other day, and she has Monkey Brains, a local ISP, a Smart TV, DTV with an HR 44/500, and Apple products - a Macbook, a Time Capsule at the opposite end of the house, which is the wifi...

    DTV says no-no to multiple HR44s on a system. Is that a technological prohibition or just one of their crummy house rules with no valid purpose. I am thoroughly disgusted with the 20's-series boxes and asked for another 44 to replace the HR24... But I'm denied. Recommendations?
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have had an HR44 and now an HR54 Genie in my home. I have attempted to install an external hard drive to each of them without success. The unit will recognize the drive, even format it, but the system slows to a crawl for any action (change channel/ MENU/ GUIDE/ LIST etc) and then has...
