Question about Hughes HDVR2 with 105 Hrs DirecTV DTV Receiver

Signal dropout on 1 of 2 tuners

One of the two tuners on the DVR is suffering from video and audio drop out that is very similar to sat signal interference resulting from bad weather. The other tuner is unaffected. This problem manifests itself on both live and recorded video from that tuner. Swapping the incoming video lines has no effect on which tuner is affected.

    My video drops out but when I re-power the box, the video comes back. This problem only happened occasionally but now is occurring a few times a week (twice today). I think my DVR unit needs to be replaced. Thoughts?

    The receiver losses it's signal sometimes and the message says

    searching in satelite 1 for satelite 2. and sometims I get interference

    on the screen like when you have an electrical storm. Also the

    picture on both sides of the screen starts to turn red. If I turn the

    Tv on and off it goes back to a normal picture. Do you think it is the

    receiver or the satelite signal.

I had the vary same problem, One solution is to remove the s-cable and use the analog video out, I have read lots of forums about this, it works for most people, No one seems to know why the s-cable causes pixelation on sat 2 input, and can't find anybody that can fix it completly, check forums at weak knees.com and tivo comunity. Good luck. ddftoc.

Oops forgot that I already posted the fix. However, the VCR recently failed all together and has been replaced. Also, I have since moved from DirectTV to Dish due to a separate and unrelated problem with the dish.

My problem was the result of a grounding problem on another, connected piece of equipment. When that item was disconnected the problem was resolved. Thanks for the responses.

Found the problem...it looks like a grounding issue between several of the components in the setup. I disconnected the AV connections to the VHS deck from the DVR and the problem went away.

This denotes a problem with the RF tuner itself, which if it is a module it can be replaced, however if it is an actual part of the main circuitry you will have to have the whole unit replaced. Tuners are not user fixable since it contains many components that are very sensitive. I would suggest either having the unit replaced or taking it to a TV repair shop which is setup for such repairs.

Is there any way to get Zone 2 to take the same source as Maine 1? My Zone 2 does not paly anything from cbl/sat even if zone 1 is on tuner
What kind of signal are you using for the cable/sat? Most receivers cannot use a digital input (optical, hmdi) to output a signal to zone 2. You may have to make an analog connection to get it to work.

Not knowing the specific cabling you use and the pathing...

Everything is digital. You're probably experiencing data dropouts.

Is the problem both audible and visual? THAT would point to data loss where the video and audio coexist - upstream of the TV and audio systems. If it just the audio medium, analyze its physical sugnal path and see where you can isolate or eliminate cabling and hardware. The ONKYO has indicators that would blink upon digital signal loss. Trace it back from there.*

* I always run the BEST video from each source directly to the TV and the BEST audio directly to the electronics. Unnecessary interconnects and hops are expensive and failure prone. Optical cable should be routed with lazy curves to avoid light loss and data dropouts.

In many systems with a DVR ALL viewing is from the DVR rather than LIVE.

Observe whether a given glitch is observable and repeatable on your DVR. If it IS, the transmission was bad at that moment and the result was captured. From this point there is no way to differentiate between bad data IN or bad data from the Hard Drive, unless you can bypass the DVR entirely or watch it truly LIVE.

If you have support for the DVR, the vendor CAN log into it and examine its error log data.

The Tivo Series 3 uses two CableCards, one for each tuner. It is possible that the CableCard that is responsible for receiving channels on Tuner 1 is defective, has become corrupted, or otherwise is not paired correctly. Call your cable provider and have a tech look at it.

I would like to connect the audio from my Comcast DVR via digital optical thru the TV/SAT IN optical on the receiver at the same time I have a composite connection via the TV RCA composite jacks. ( This...
I'm a little confused by your use of 'composite' with audio, as in "Does anyone know what would happen if I ran both composite audio and optical audio both to their respective TV/SAT IN input jacks on the STRDE935 ?". What is composite audio?

The manual claims on page 48 that you can't record digital audio out to the analog REC OUT jacks.

http://www.retrevo.com/s/Sony-STR-DE935-Receivers-review-manual/id/387dj981/t/1-2/

I say 'claims' because the engineers or manual writers clearly are not as creative as you are in trying to wring as much utility out if this unit as possible.

I can't find an answer but I would offer this - if you are recording anything though any AVR, as soon as you choose to monitor the audio the digital input is usually disabled.

And I would be curous to hear more about what you're doing and how you finally achieve it.

sometimes with cable, satellite, or any dvr, the digital signal actually is intermittent and there is little we can do about it but add an analog audio connection for each device as a backup. per se, and put the receiver in auto input mode. the receiver will utilize the analog signal to fill in where the digital signal fails

Blank screen with other displays still working
1. By View your DVR, Do you mean you can actually see a picture?
2. By "Switch Channels", are these channels being tuned by the TV Tuner?

Your LCD Panel is OK Since you have a Picture (input display in right corner)
If you can see a picture with your DVR, VCR, DVD or any external source then your TVs Video Processing is OK....if not you will probably need to replace the responsible PWB for this function
If you can see a picture with the external sources and only the TV's Tuner is not showing Video, The PWB responsible for Tuning within the TV should be replaced.

Also, if all problems are associated with only the DVR (I assume this is Sat or Cable), then it is most likely that this device is not functioning properly. Possibly lost signal or deauthorized.

Trouble with Tuner 2
From experience, I suspect that the dish has lost it's optimum "focus" on the satellites, and your signal has dropped. In your case, tuner #2 just happens to need a little more signal than tuner #1 - and that's revealing the root problem.

If you can have a second person handy, use the signal meter function and view the signal. Then one person should move the dish a bit (likely upward a hair). If the signal goes up with just the slight movement of the still tight dish, that's the problem.

If so, it's time to align the dish.

bad picture while recording -- Directv HD DVR Start recording game, then later start watching recorded version, it was all jumpy and grainy. But live viewing was fine. Then, after all recording was done, replaying the recorded version, it was perfectly fine (same parts of the game that, when recorded and played were grainy and jumpy). So the issue was watching what had been recorded while the same show was still being recorded. Anyone else have this issue? Seems like a defect in the dvr -- but is there a known issue, or is there a setting or ??
