A few weeks ago my remote lost communication with the directv HR10-250 receiver. Directv support told me this unit was too old to support and I should forget it and get one of their dvr's --for free with a new antenna. Played around with it and was able to regain control even after purple and green double screens appeared which is good because I was not anxious to try another dvr service --this is my third tivo and I LOVE it!
This has happen a few times now recently and I've always been able to bring the unit back around --but now I'm not too sure.... It happen again today and after reading posts in this forum I wondering if the problem could be fan, power supply, battery or something. I replaced the hd with one from WK about a year ago. My best bet is to now leave it alone overnight and see if that gets me to a point where I can use the remote to restart/reset the unit (three thumbs down + enter). That usually gets rid of the double screen and then I can go through the setup for the remote again and be back in business.
I'm waiting for the new directv hd tivo unit in 2009 but now I'm unsure I can wait that long.
What size battery is on the motherboard? Anyone have any ideas and/or troubleshooting tips?
