DirecTV software update locks up HD DVRs nationwide — reset twice to fix
It looks like one of DirecTV’s astronauts had more trouble flipping switches than their DISH counterparts, after a software or guide date update last night knocked out HD DVRs all over — and not for the first time. Currently the only advice needed to get back in working order is to reset the box twice within a thirty minute period (the official website indicates you can wait as little as 15 seconds between resets) and all should be well, but good luck getting through to customer service to get that message right now. Countdown to an apology starts… now.
