This morning look at my HR 20; Power and resolution lights are on so I turn TV on to see what is going on. I am able to change channels. So it looks like all is well and I try to turn the box off, and it won't shut off via remote or directly.
Ok, so box is frozen. I push the red reset button. Nothing. Push it again. All lights go out and then the ppwer light comes on for about 30 seconds and goes out. I hear the hard drive churning. Try resetting it a couple of times with the same result. So I unplug it for a minute or so, and same result. The power light comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes out and nothing else happens.
Is this a dead box? I have the latest software download that came down the other night. I can't get a replacement box till next week cause they don't overnight replacement boxes. I asked why and the guy said they just don't. He said this three times. Guy was a real jerk.
Sorry for the long post. I am just so peeved right now. I have company coming in this weekend plus a bunch of stuff I recorded to watch and football games coming on to watch. If anyone has any ideas on how to get this box running, I would appreciate any thoughts.
