Receiver locks up

by Marc » Fri Oct 21, 2005 6:57 pm

What would cause my receivers to lock up? I just replaced a couple of old
RCA receivers with the D10 DirecTv receiver.

Sometimes, commands to the receiver are not carried out for a minute or two.
Like, try to turn on. Nothing happens. Then a minute or so later it will
come on. When it is on, sometimes it seems to lock up again. Then after a
few minutes all the commands will carry out rapidly., I.e., if I had
selected a channel, then channel up a couple of times all of the commands I
put in will finally rapidly carry out. Took them back to the DirecTv place
and they gave me a couple of replacements. That did not solve it. Did the
cold reboot thing. Doesn't help.

Using an oval dish with two LNB's to a powered multiswitch. Have 90 to 100
signal strength., FWIW.

I need some help isolating the problem. Or do I just trash the D10's and
try something else?

There has been a problem and a software upgrade is involved. See

D10

Yeah, some versions of the D10, especially the 200 is a POS. I've actually had one go out less than a month after the initial install.

Rock and roll is like sex, if the neighbors can't hear it- why bother?

Samsung makes inferior products (with exception of their cell phones)
Samsung manufactures the D10-200, so it only makes sense that they
would suck too.

I have a SyncMaster 213T which I love, but the cell phones they make
cheaply as requested by the cellular carrier who compete on price, so
they tend to last about 13 months if you're lucky.

I swear by Samsung computer RAM (not entirely true, but the lat two sticks
I bough use Samsung Brand chips.)
