Anyone else having startup problems...?

For the second time since the last update, my HR20 would not startup via the remote or pushing the front panel's power button. Non-responsive. :nono2:

The unit would only turn on AFTER pressing the red reset button, and then only AFTER pushing the power button which had a faint blue light.

Anyone else experiencing this...? :confused:

The comming out of standby mode, is a known issue that DirecTV is working on. The having to push the button after the red-reset... that I think is normal. As I have to do that when ever I RESET my unit.
This is also new behavior for me for 0xEB. And I'm seeing it almost every day now. I've never seen it before this release and I think my initial FW was 0x9c, so I've seen a few releases so far.
Well, I've never had this happen, except after 0xEB was downloaded.

I know it has occured on previous builds... just must be your time ;)

It does seem to be happening a lot more with EB. There was another new report of it over on that thread tonight.

If it keeps happening on your machines and you can't make it stop, I highly recommend using the "RESET EVERYTHING" feature. You'll lose all your settings and existing recordings which sucks, but it's better than having the DVR not record for hours at a time because it's sitting locked up. I did this type of a reset on Friday after numerous lockups, and as of tonight (Tuesday) I've been fine for four days now. Previously, I was having the unit lockup every 12 hours or so.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
