Hi All...
My Hughes HDDVR2 just died... It's been sitting at the DTV splash screen with the words "Almost there. Just a few minutes more..." overnight (so in excess of 8 hours)...
Here's my dilemma... I really don't want to replace it with another SD box... I currently have 1 HD-DVR, and 2 SD TiVos and have been itching to replace one of my SD TiVos for an additional High Def DVR...
Will DirecTV protection plan allow me to pay a little more to secure an HD DVR in it's place?
My guess is that the receiver is actually find, but the drive or drives are bad... I am not itching to replace them... As you can see in my signature, both my SD TiVos are upgraded with dual 120GB drives... If I send the "defective" receiver back, I will put the original drive back in, and my guess is that it will work fine... And in all honesty, if I return any of my SD TiVo's, I would rather return the Sony... I love the Sony and have a lot of fond memories with it being my first experience with TiVo, but it's lack of folder support sucks...
<sigh>... Any experience here? Any guidance or advice?
