Constant noise from HS17-500
Have a 3 TV setup. Tower is positioned in middle of house with main TV. And equal distance to the other 2. It constantly makes grinding type sound. Like maybe it’s downloading. Even when TVs are off. It is very annoying. Is this normal?

Litzdog, you are soooooo smart. Didn’t have foam but a thick towel worked just as good. Quiet as a mouse. You saved me from a trip to the insane asylum. Thanks and Happy New Year.

There are two moving parts in a DirecTV DVR -- the cooling fan and the internal computer hard drive. Sometimes case vibration can amplify that noise. A small foam pad under the unit might help with that.

Yes Thank you. I am one of those that looks at that sort of thing. This was just a quick fix. I'll be keeping an eye one it until I can come up with something that allows some space to avoid overheating.
