AS the title says, the HR 24 does not et past self check on a reboot. If there any way to bypass this or any other ideas? Thanks

Before looking for bypass, you need to check what component is bad. Perhaps HDD.
Get internal test menu and do all tests one by one.

How do I do that?

Think P Smith is onto your problem. The last time my DVR did what you describe (locked up just after going into self-test), it was the hard drive. Replacing the HD (owned receiver) brought it back to like-new (literally - without any of my cherished recordings). External HD would not work when this happened either so connecting one probably wouldn't make a difference.

RBR, Press and hold the select button on your remote.

Gone. HDD test failed. New one on way.
