After the hard drive in our 5 year old HR54 failed several days ago, I've now just received (from Directv) a new (to me) HR54-500C-R.

HR-54 hard drive has failed, recommended next steps???

Hi... Here is our current setup... An HR-54 Genie in our living room with a C31 Mini that gets its input from the HR-54. Then an HR-24 stand alone in a third room, all connected via the "whole home" setup. Hope that makes sense... Yesterday, the HR-54 (five years old) started struggling with freezin
