I've had my R15 for all of 8 days, and it's already showing a bug I haven't seen mentioned anywhere (at least not on the DirecTV website... I haven't fully scouted out this site yet).
It thinks it's overheated. It won't turn on for more than a minute because it needs to cool down. But it's been "cooling" for at least 2 hours, probably longer. It was in this state when I got home from work.
And to field the obvious questions, no fans are obstructed. It's on a flat surface (wood) with ample clearance between the R15 and the wall (6-8"), and it's no where near a heating source. I called DirecTV about it, and their only option was unplug it. Surprise, surprise, that didn't do a thing.
I'm just at a total loss. We're getting a new receiver in a few days, but if anyone has an idea of how to salvage my current one, I would be VERY appreciative. There are programs on there that I would really like to save. And has anyone else experienced this??
