Tech by PC

It seems that almost all the DirecTV HD DVR boxes locked up sometime last night. The only semi-official information I can find on the subject is from the Satelliteguys forum. I went through DirecTV’s site and was not able to find any official information although their Tech forums have some complaining on them.

DirecTV says that the lockups were not related to an upgrade, but rather some kind of broadcast anomaly. An update was pushed out today which may result in another device reboot.

So far I only had to unplug and plug mine back in (the reset button did nothing). It has not rebooted a second time. My wife missed Dr. Phil today.
