DirecTV DVR not working - Code: 14-729 - ugh

[sammytko]

I just want a new machine! I called and they said to let it sit cuz it is trying to reformat. I tried to find info on this and info was that "death" of the box is imminent. They want to send a technician if it doesn't format or whatever. I just want them to send me a new one - boo.

couldn't watch rachel...

1. its working!

I guess the kid on the line was right. But it took more than six hours. I swear the HD pic even looks better!

2. I recently had to replace a dishnetwork DVR.

After some tests, they declared it was dead and shipped out a new one and I had it the next day at no charge.

I was worried that I was going to lose all the unwatched programming and movies I had on there but I was able to rescue the data.

3. I don't even watch that much tv, but the thought of being without

felt strange.

4. Yeah. Me too. I was worried that I might go into convulsions if I went without TV.

They said it would take 5-8 days for the replacement to get here but it got here the very next day.
