  • SD-DVR40 fan always running

    Hi,

    I have an DIRECTV SD-DVR40 from Hughes. I recently moved it to another room and then realized that the fan was always running. Should I be worried about it? Even when I unplug it over night and plugin it back in the next day the fan starts up immediately and never shuts off. I tried putting the unit in standby mode and still the fan is on. Do you think its a bad fan or a bad temperature gauge or something else? If its a bad temperature gauge can I replace just that?

    That's the way TiVos work - the fan always runs.

    If you hear it, it might be time for a replacement. We have them here:
