  • My Direct Samsung 4080 died?

    Direct is run by regulated idiots..... No help whatsoever. Anyway, my Samsung 4080 DVR unit goes on, the "Power Up" screen cycles, then goes to the "Just a Few Minutes More" then goes blank.

    It won't go to Direct Central, or for that matter, won't do anything. Weekness says "Hard Drive"..... Okay, but what about this idea.....

    I have another unit, a Samsun 4120 that is fine. As Direct is very unhelpful on getting it online, can I take the hard drive out of it, and use it to replace the busted drive in my 4080?

    Thanks for any input!

    Yes, you can try moving the drive from the 4120 into the 4080 and see if it boots. You won't be able to play programs, but you can see if it gets to the main DIRECTV/TiVo screen.
