Recently i had been having trouble with my HDVR2 Directtivo Box with pixelating of the recording and live images comeing from my second tuner of the box.I tried rewireing the dish,no luck

I tried Running new wire direct for the dish to the reciever NO LUCK

I tried swaping the cables on the back of the reciever and was able to narrow it down to the tuner 2 inside the box itself. Now faced with the dilema of having to replace the unit i was unhappy to say the least.

Hours of rearanging the wires for nothing.

I searched and i searched for an answer using HDVR tuner trouble , second tuner on hdvr2 pixelated nothing.

HDVR2 tuner 2 out nothing

finally i found an answer and the answer was not what i expected, this may work for you if you have found this while searching as i did.

STEP one … are you using S-Video to connect to the tv… if yes this may help

Step two UNPLUG S-Video wait five minutes did this fix it. TADA

Surprised it worked SO WAS I . I found the answer here and here,But hopefull you will find this with a little quicker searching HOPE THIS HELPS

I logged in today to my netflix and went to the watch now area and noticed that the Heroes Season 2 was at the top of the WATCH NOW queue. I thought to myself can this be how is it possible the show is still aring. Well it turns out That Netflix has a deal to show the episodes the Wednesday after the show Airs.This is Great. No Commercials,Completley Legal and No bit torrenting needed. This is a great move. WAY TO GO NETFLIX.
