Hello: I may have to replace my HR-24, which looking at is nowadays considered to be fairly old. I see I can get a replacement from a couple of sites...all purchased essentially new (NOT from ebay), but once I get it...then what? I assume I'll need to contact Direct TV to get them to initialize it?

Changing Aspect Ratio on an HR24 receiver.
The new HR24 will not allow the user to change the "TV Ratio" from 4:3 to 16:9. You can change it on the screen, but when you go back in, the receiver has flipped your change back to 4:3. There is no way to override this bug. There is a bug in the firmware of the HR24 that needs to be upgraded, and

Changing DIRECTV HR24/500 Aspect Ratio
I have tried to change the Aspect Ratio on my HR24 to 16:9, instead of 4:3. I can change it on the TV Ratio screen, but after I leave that screen and choose TV Ratio again, it flips the ratio back to 4:3 by itself. It will not allow my change to 16:9 to stay as I choose. What is going on??
