DCT6412 DVR Box

Today when I turned on my DVR it showed channel 0 and we cannot change the channel or get a pic on the TV. I am afraid I am going to lose my recordings! (AGAIN!!!) Any ideas?

    Mine did the same thing last night. I can put in a channel but I get the message that the channel will be available shortly. After 12 hours, no channels.

    At first just the PVR function stopped working after a few hours a 0 was in the dispay and the box would not dispaly any picture on the TV. Tried unplugging and restting to no avail. I have contacted Motorola and they have no authorized repair centers (?) I guess you throw away your $650 box and buy a new one. Any help on locating a repair shop in Alberta Canada would be appreciated.

When that happens its most likley you had a power outage and the box reset.  Well kinda reset but not all the way.  You can unplug the power and wait about 10sec and plug it back in and wait a few min to a few hours, and If that doesn't work get a new box.

RCV HDTV model HD52W66 having issue where 3 images (like the Direct tv guide or a channel) show up at once.

Some direct TV guy needs to answer this likely
or you have a 18pin instead of 21 pin hdmi side connector that too is an issue for some.

DCT6412 III DVR Box has inputs but how do I switch to them?
Who is your cable provider? Several providers indicate that the inputs (USB, ethernet and composite video in) are not currently enabled on all DCT6412 set-top boxes.

I wish that I had better news for you.

The TV model is Sanyo DP32648. DVR Cable Box - Motorola DCT6412 III I have a DVR cable box connected via an HDMI cable to the TV's HDMI 1 slot. I have had the TV for around a year now and haven't had...
If you have the DVR connected to the TV with the Coaxial and the HDMI that is probably causing the problem I work for a Cable company and have dealt with this problem on numerous occasions. Try just disconnecting the Coaxial cable from the cable box that should fix this issue.

Motorola dvr dct6412 locked channels
Check with your provider to ensure that you are in expanded services, or limited. Because being on limited services the box will lock you out of those channels. If you are in billing for those services and you checked the batteries on your remote and they are good and you get a solid red blink when you change channels not a double blink (indicating that your batteries are dying), Then try power cycling your DVR by, removing the power supply and waiting 3sec then plug it back in. Your box should shut off, turn itself back on, then go into the load screen, then, once the load screen display shows on your tv and on box display, wait for your box to completely load (don't touch nothing until the correct time shows up, meaning that it has completed the load process) Once the process is complete turn box back on and you should have you guide back up and (No Data) on your program schedule(Don't Worry!!) it will populate, with 15-20 mins.

Now try to ch. up and down and see if that fixed the problem. also make sure nothing is blocking the sensor. If all else fails and you changed the battery, called your cable provider and request a box swap, (be sure to watch all your recorded shows because they go bye, bye with the cable guy!)

Motorola DCT6412 Cable box
Ive seen this before...that may be indicative of an upgrade of the software in the cable box that comes from your cable provider. The best thing to do is plug it back in, let it get the "yellow ring" for a bit, and wait for the upgrade (it make take 10 - 15 minutes). Then things should return to normal... If the condition persists, try to call the cable company.

Archos DVR Station & 605 wifi PMP
Not sure if this will help you or not, but I have a 404 and was having issues with the scheduler changing the channels for me also. Then I realized that it is a infrared transmitter - the same frequency as a remote I realized what I was doing wrong - Your archos station must be facing the cable box that it is turning on. I had my archos on top of the cable box and it was not working - but when I turned the cable box and the archos station to face each other - so the signal can transfer - it worked just fine. Hope that helps!

Shows canceled?
Make sure u have signal on both tuners on the DVR ( check it in your set-up screen). both tuners should have the same siganl strength. Directv's DVRs, if installed correctly, give u the option of recording one channel and watch another, or recording 2 seperate channels( 2 tuners). If you are recording 2 seperate shows and u change the channel one of your recordings will cancel .
