My non-HD DVR R10 will freeze or shut down and power back up

Suddenly today (12/14/08), my R10 is either freezing completely or is cutting off and powering back up, only to repeat the cycle after only a few minutes (5 minutes or so).

This is a non-HD DVR and has worked without fail for the past 3 years or so since receiving it (I've had it since Christmas of '05).

    the reciever freezes for a moment and then power-cycles (taking about 5 minutes), then between 5 minutes and 30 minutes later it does it again. this is a continuing cycle thruout the day. we cannot watch anything without missing pieces, and dont even get me started on the idea of tivo'ing dancing with the stars.

SOURCE: My Directv DVR receiver will not stay on it is blinking yellow??

Unplug it from the power for about 30 minutes and then try again. If it still doesn't work I would call DirecTV and discuss getting it replaced.

My Toshiba Tecra R10-112 keeps suddenly completely dying on me. The whole computer suddenly shuts down for no apparent reason. What's wrong and how do I fix it?!

This could be a problem with the battery, if you have a spare try using it and see if this fixes the problem. Best Wishes!

Hd channels are freezing up sound stays on just

Hey there, raeraekub! In order to assist you with this, I need to get a full understanding of the situation, so I'm going to ask you a few questions. First of all, is this issue still happening? If it is, try unplugging the receiver's power cord from the wall for 15 seconds then plugging it back in. If the problem continues, let me know what type of connection you have from the receiver to the TV. What type of TV do you have? With the DVR issue, is the freezing happening in the middle of watching a recording?

Hdtv picture freeze

I also have a Brand new Sony Bravia 52" LCD with Comcast Cable (motorola box).When switching between HD Channels sometimes the left side of the screen shows a smushed version of the new channel, and the right side is a frozen picture of the previous channel. I correct this by switching to a non HD channel and back. Cable or TV problem I wonder?

How do I know if my Directv HR22-100 HD receiver is dead?

one last thing you can do, if it doesnt work the dvr is dead. reset the dvr and wait for the hello screen and then the screen will go black. when it turns black, hold the down arrow (on the front of the dvr) and the record button for at least 5 secs. this will re-format the hard drive. if it doesnt work the dvr is dead
