I have an HR20-700. We watched TV until about 3AM last night.
This morning, at about 10:00, my wife turned the TV on and received a message from DirecTV saying that new features have been added to the software. She doesn't remember what all of the enhancements were, but my wife says one of the messages said "One Touch Record". Haven't we had that forever?
Even though we received this message, when I go into the menu the software says:
0x254, Tues 7/22
So, I don't know how I could receive enhancements when I've been on the same software for 6 weeks.
Anyways...onto the point. The box came up on the internal HD for some reason. We've had the external drive (750GB Seagate) for almost a year, and it's worked flawlessly. Until today...
I have tried disconnecting the drive, then reconnecting, multiple reboots of the box, etc. But, it continues to come up on the internal drive.
Any ideas?
Could the message we received be something that's stored on the internal drive from last October (that's when we got the eSATA drive)?
Maybe the eSATA connection went bad, so now it boots to the internal drive and gives the old playlist (all recordings shown now are from last Sept/Oct) and the old enhancement message.
Any other thoughts or ways to get this thing working again?
TIA.
