Direct TV overnight upgrade results in equipment crash

Posted June 8th, 2010 by Anonymous

Direct TV attempted to upgrade customers DVR's last night. The result was not good. What happened, you ask? The upgrade was suppose to add new features, however, it ended up crashing the Direct TV DVR's.

Direct TV is suggesting that customers "try to unplugging their DVR drives from the wall/power for 15 seconds twice without letting the receiver power up in between."

You can also call Direct TV's customer service line at 1-800-531-5000.
