They have devices called IR extenders or repeaters. You need to purchase one and install it. I have added links for you to look at.

Do this like mine sweeping. Grab the remote and put it right up to the front of the box. Press the channel up or down keys as you move the remote across the front of the box. You'll get to a point where the box responds well. Then as you go past the point the box will stop reacting so well. Home in to the point where the box responds well. That's your point for the blaster.

I have some bad new if you go to google and type in "Motorola DCH3416 lagging audio" you will see this is a common issue with the lag being upward of 10 to 60 seconds. No solution at this time has been found.

i had a similar problem with an IR system once. thats the thing that makes it so you can hide the box in a closet so you dont have to see it. it was the ir that was the problem and ABT replaced it.

try to find out if the box or the remote causes it. maybe a down button is stuck in on one or the other. if you put away the remote and use the buttons on the front of the box does it still happen?

good luck

Hello this is Dan Busa with DISH Network. I'm not quite sure if this is the answer you need, the way you need this set is you want the IR blaster pointing directly at the IR sensor on your receiver (the three holes by the power light) the actual extender just needs within close range of your remote.

try it but try to look for a reset button in the unit or if you have the manual try to look for default setting.

Hi,

Motorola DCH3416 has an USB port to connect to a PC. But you can't copy the files from DVR to laptop, they are encrypted and locked down, even if you opened the box and pulled out the drive you wouldn't be able to get a PC to recognize the format or copy the files off the drive.

(You can not connect data devices without contacting your service provider.
Because the Digital Rights Management (DRM) laws instituted by the entertainment industry prohibit the movement of copyrighted content from one system to another.)

Hope this helps

Hi chestmcn. Here's how you reset your device to its defaults:

1. Make sure your receiver is plugged in, that it's connected to your TV, and that your TV is turned on.

2. Turn your receiver OFF, then press MENU on the front panel of the box. You will then see a menu on your TV.

3. Using either the up/down buttons on your remote control or the up/down buttons on the front of your receiver to navigate. Use the right arrow button to view the options for each setting.

4. Arrow down to the setting labeled "Restore All Defaults", then press the right arrow button to select that option.

5. Exit the menu and save your changes by pressing the POWER or MENU button.

For what it's worth, this issue may also be related to Comcast reference code error s0900, which means a disruption in service, usually temporary.

In case you run into more trouble with your receiver, here is a link to the user guide- http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Business/Products/TV%20Video%20Distribution/Set-tops/QAM%20Set-tops/All%20Digital%20QAM%20Set-tops/DCH3416/_Documents/Static%20Files/DCH3416_User_Guide_537529-001-c.pdf

I hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa!

If you have different input options on your TVs, you could run the second TV with the Y, Pb,Pr component outputs along with the analog audio from the STB. However, remember the STB will only support ONE output video format. So both TV will have to be set to the same video format (720p, 1080i, 480p, etc)
