What is wrong with my DVR?

What is wrong with my Non-HD DVR? The sound and picture is breaking up on my recordings.?

  • When I record on my DVR a satellite television program, it is starting to lose the voice and the picture becomes scrambled. This happens about 10 times per recorded hour TV show. This happens on everything I record. I use the major Satellite provider in the USA. It happens on ever recorded TV show, even the local channels (which go through the system). 1) What do you think is wrong? 2) Is it the hard disk inside? 3) Can it be repaired? 4) Can I fix it myself? Thank you for your help on this perplexing problem.

  • Answer:

    Call your satellite system provider and have them fix it. More than likely it is made in China and part of the conspiracy to complicate your life even further. Everyone knows they have it in for us and our mental health since they bought Americas debt. Just dial the 1800 number to get someone out to fix it. Love, Stephanie

If it happens only on recorded shows and not during live shows, then the DVR is at fault. A hard reset (unplug the DVR's power cord for 30 seconds) might solve the problem. Otherwise it's time to send it out for repair.

ACTUALLY IF ITS ONLY ON YOUR RECORDINGS, THEN ITS SOMETHING ELSE, I WOULD RECCOMEND REFORMATING THE HARDDRIVE, IF THAT DOESNT WORK YOU NEED A REPLACEMENT

There is nothing wrong with your hard drive or set top box. You are seeing the tiling and audio loss because of a poor signal from the satellite. You need to reposition your satellite to receive a higher dB level. You can call your satellite provider and they can send a technician out to do this for you, or you can do it your self. You can go to http://www.lyngsat.com/ to get the positioning of your dish, and you can use a dB meter to adjust your dish to get the best signal.
