Bier Meister Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) yesterday funny things started to happen on my tv: - change of font on banner (no big deal) - type of screen changes when i change the channel (normal, wide, full screen), so the banner is partially shown and some of the picture is not on the screen - when i enter a channel, it doesn't automatically change. it makes some void sound and then changes. - and sometimes when the channel is changed it constantly makes a "void" sound until i hit select. none of this occurred prior to yesterday. anyone else having similar probs? and outside of callinging directv, any suggestions?

H8tank Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I had one with erratic behavior (tivo), turns out the harddrive inside was dying, took it apart, was a cheap schitty drive, replaced it with a much larger one and now it works perfect, plus I have 180hrs to record NFL games!

bigmike4969 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Bier, Is the receiver you're having trouble with a HD one? The one I have does not have the same problems as yours but it seems slower than normal when it comes to accessing the menu/guide options or changing channels (compared to the standard receivers). I've been on DTVs forums and it seems that they are putting out s/w updates and that could be the culprit. I am not sure if this s/w updates affects all receivers or just HD ones.

TimC Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 My font also changed the other day. It's more of a bold Arial now. I also noticed "Select" doesn't work when changing the channels...it gives you the error bong noise. I have to press "enter" instead now.
