Hello,
I hope this is the right spot to post....
I AM ON MY 3RD BELL EXPRESSVU 9242 HD PVR EXCHANGE WITHIN EXACTLY 1 YEAR!!!!!
While watching tv or not my 9242 dual tuner receiver just shut down and sounds like it is rebooting. It sometimes gets to the stage where it connects with the sattelite (progress 1//5 to 5/5) but then starts all over again. The tv 1 light flashes and it keeps sounding like the hard drive is rebooting. After many reboots the tv1 light doesnt come on anymore and you can hear the hard drive or fan just spinning. I called bell and they took me through all their troubleshooting ideas i.e. reset, unplug, disconnect etc and nothing worked. Which I have done many times on my own prior to calling. Any ideas? This happened a couple times last week then eventually it would reboot and work fine. It did it on a wed and thurs night. Then worked all weekend and started acting up on the Sunday. Happened again, getting longer each time. Now on Tuesday night it just stopped. Fan or hard drive runs that's it! Called bell and they are replacing. Sattelite signal/dish is fine because I have another receiver working fine. It is a 6131. I run them off an sw44 switch.
So like I said.... 3rd pvr malfunction in a year!!! Do i have an electrical problem? If so why is nothing else affected?? Is it overheating?? I mean these pvr's are $600 to buy new!! I have a hard time believing they charge that kinda cash for a box that dies every approx 4 months. Does anyone know what to do? Please help!!!
