DirecTV R-15 DVR Receiver RFI	Reply
by K9UW on August 4, 2009	Mail this to a friend!
After a year of trouble-free service, my DirecTV R15 DVR/Receiver began to throw out strong (S9 or better) noise that showed up roughly every 37 KHz and it was particularly strong on the lower HF bands. Disconnecting the coax feed from the dish at the back of the receiver eliminated the noise, but this solution was not popular with the rest of my family. Several months later, the audio and video began to freeze intermittently, accompanied by an on-screen message that the satellite signal was lost. A reset cured the problem, but it came back a week later. Finally, the receiver refused to power up one day, and the only sign of life was a rapid flashing of the LED's in the Power and Record buttons, accompanied by a popping (roughly 2 per second) in the audio. A call to DirecTV brought a replacement receiver (HD DVR) and I am pleased to report that the RFI has also disappeared. Just wanted to post this for anyone having the same problem, now or in the future. My thanks to eHam for keeping archives and making them searchable! 73, de Mike, K9UW Amherst, WI http://www.k9uw.com
