Ever since DirecTV updated the HR10-250 to 6.3x reboots are common for some users including myself.

I reboot through software a couple of times but it didn't work.  When on the phone with a Tivo rep he had me do a hard reboot (unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug back in).  Ever since doing that it's worked like a charm.<br><br>Not sure why the reboot fixed it (or why a hard reboot was different), but it did fix it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy Herrman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2007 9:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ground control to DirecTV TiVo users: reboot, please]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/ground-control-to-directv-tivo-users-reboot-please/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/ground-control-to-directv-tivo-users-reboot-please/</guid><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, your information source is incorrect.  Our HR10-250 is still rebooting, even with a new drive.  As soon as 6.3a downloaded and installed, within hours the unit locked up or rebooted.  Makes no difference whether we do a format.  We even left the unit on with no shows recorded.<br><br>It is rumored on TivoCommunityForum's that there is an issue with the downloaded guide, but DirecTV assures us that has been fixed.<br><br>Cause for my reboots?  Unknown.  Our box still hasn't downloaded 6.3b and DirecTV has no explanation as to why.  All they say is "Let us replace your Tivo with a DirecTV DVR..".  We have the HR20 and it aint no TIVO baby.<br><br>JIM]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James Rainey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2007 9:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ground control to DirecTV TiVo users: reboot, please]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/ground-control-to-directv-tivo-users-reboot-please/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/ground-control-to-directv-tivo-users-reboot-please/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does it run Windows ME?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Doe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2007 9:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ground control to DirecTV TiVo users: reboot, please]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/ground-control-to-directv-tivo-users-reboot-please/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/26/ground-control-to-directv-tivo-users-reboot-please/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just got the 6.3b upgrade on my HR10-250.

I called Directv and they had me unplug, restart, delete, restart, and finally had to delete everything out of my Tivo.  It took four hours to complete the deletion and when it was finished I had to add back all my Season Passes.  It works fine now.  So if you do have problems with no shows listed where you can view upcoming shows and see nothing there and you know they are, you need to call Directv and tell them.  It was a pain to have to delete everything and start all over; but much better keeping my Tivo and having it work now.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2007 4:26PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
