HR21-700 slow to respond to remote

[ipodbill]

I had the HR21 installed on Thursday. I would estimate that the unit only responds to 1 in 4 commands from the remote. I have replace the batteries but that made no difference. Is there a fix for this?

The remote is RC64

I've had the same issues, especially when I had it connected to my home network. I've unplugged the network and re-booted, never to plug the network in again. Also, when I called to complain about various issues including OTA this weekend - D* said they are not replacing or swapping units now, that the units are in some debugging/patching limbo and I have to wait till resolved. nice. I did ask for compensation, which they said they'd note and get back to me when they resolve. gee, thanks.

I don't understand why anyone would want the HR-21 since you can't get OTA locals with it.

ditto. I ended up with the HR21 also. I am using the RC32RF and did not notice any delays when using IR or RF. I about 10 ft from the unit.

Probably someone who doesn't need OTA HD locals b/c they have LiL HD from Directv. And that same someone isn't in a geographical location to receive any OTA broadcasts...like me. I'm more than happy with the HR21-700 after about two weeks of use. It's a better DVR than Tivo with the exception of no dual live buffers. That's just me though.
It's my understanding that HR20's are not available from Directv lease anymore anyway...at least not here in northern NV.

My H21 says "searching for satellite" on the local channels, my H20 never had this problem. Any answers??

I use satellite for locals

Would you like me to send you one ?

fwiw, in receint weeks, it seems that my remote for my HR20-700 is very slow to respond to commands, checked batteries and no difference. however, this is not the same trouble you guys are talking about.
