Of the update today and the screen is pink and no sound!!
Trying a restart to to see if it gets fixed.

Did the Restart work?

RBR reset worked. I thought the update killed my HR34.

Next time,first try going to a different input on the tv and back, or turning off the HR34 and then turning it back on. I doubt a reset was actually required to get it to re sync.

I've notice a simple power cycle of the tv and receiver can help issues like this.

It's back again!! I shut if off, ate dinner, etc. now it's back!! WTF type of update is this??? NOT HAPPYY!!!

pink screens are usually an hdmi issue try changing the hdmi inputs and power cycling both....how is your receiver connected?

I dont have a receiver connected. I will try another HDMI port. But the TV has been FINE until this update. The DVR and TV have been off since the update. This is NOT a TV issue, it a DVR issue and I am not thrilled.

by receiver i mean ..satellite receiver...changing ports.... recycling ...try another hdmi cable or component cable...if not then the receiver is toast

The pink screen issue is a known issue with the current software.

The best part of this was that my HR 34 was acting sluggish yesterday. I went into the setup menu and I was poking around checking out various settings and I came across a section that seemed like it would let us know when software updates would be pushed and that field said NONE PLANNED.
Already killed the power save. Very annoying feature IMHO.

If the TV menu allows you to force the data type over HDMI, try each option and see what matches your DVR. Then leave it set (rather than let it negotiate) and it shouldn't have issue again. My TV displays correct color when set to 4:4:4.

Again. Turn on the tv, and then after its fully on, the DIRECTV box. If that doesn't work, try changing inputs on the tv and then back again on the remote. You can also try powering the HR34 off and then on again when this happens to see if that fixes the issue.

What tv do you have. This has to do with hdmi and how it syncs, and could be either one of them causing the issue. I know you disagree with that, but it's true, as DIRECTV coil distill be within specs, and maybe your tv isn't. However, I have a feeling this is more of a timing issue with when the two power up and expect to sync.

Software update has been their for all Hi Definition receivers forever, and yet I don't think anyone has ever seen any thing there.

Annoying for some, useful for others.

Nope, no setting like this on my Panny Plasmas.

I have a Panasonic Plasma. Well you say its the TV or HDMI. Another poster says this is an KNOWN issue. if this was known in CE, how could tis be released. Please don't tell me this never happened during CE releases.

I will try other inputs and other suggestions, net time it happens.

I have a 1yr old Panny 50" VT25 PDP and have had some weird HDMI issues. Powering TV off/on usually resolves it.

Folks,

I have deleted several posts that refer to pre-release testing. It's not appropriate
