No audio upon initial power up

I have the HDDVR connected to a Bose receiver. Upon installation and since then, when powering up to watch tv I do not get audio. The Bose does not see an incoming signal. This worked every time with the Comcast cable tv receiver I disconnected to go to Directv. I believe it has something to do with

Sadly, no. Once upon a time there was an app called DirecTV2PC that provided that capability, but it's long dead.

Channel changes more than once when button pushed once

Channel changes multiple times with one tap of channel up/ down. The same happens with the arrow keys when scrolling through the guide. It moves more than once even though the button was only pressed once. Started after a software update a while ago, sometime last year. Happened with multiple boxes.

Boycott

Since the complaints from the 1,000's upon 1,000's of us seem to fall on deaf ears why not Boycott? I am cancelling. That is my boycott of this awful company. Can we not live without television? I mean what did our pioneer founders do? Once upon a time people actually made it without television

No. Once upon a time DirecTV had an app called DirecTV2PC, but that was discontinued long ago. You can only download recordings to a smartphone/tablet using the DirecTV App connected to the same network as your DVR.

Can't Record Two Shows at Once

Last night I noticed that our DVR-R15-500 would not record two shows at once like it had in the past, which would explain why for the last two weeks I was missing some shows. So while one was recording I tried changing stations and it would not do that, I either had to let the program record or stop

@bsquare - I seem to remember - once upon a time - the grey out was the method used to filter out programs that did not meet the filter selection criteria.   Is it possible you have an active filter set on the guide??

I almost had a situation last night where I would have had five shows on five different channels with recordings set at the same time - three would be just ending, and two would be just starting, but there's that three-minute overlap period.  I only have 4 channel capability, and I didn't want to ri

Sorry, no. Once upon a time there was a PC software called DirecTV2PC, but it never worked well and was dropped. The best you can do is find those shows On Demand to view on your PC at the DirecTV website.

Any Way to Backup Hard Drive?

I just had my DVR fail. Some component inside literally caught fire, and toxic smoke poured out and filled the room. To add insult to injury, I have lost hundreds of hours of irreplaceable programming, something that I was never told when I got the DVR. Isn't the point of a DVR to accumulate program
