H10 HDMI blackout problem
If you have an H10 and have the blackout problem, be sure to call DirecTV if you havnt already. The first few times Ive called them, they stated they were very aware of the HDMI blackout problem. NOW, the last 5 times I called, The person says " oh really, I havnt heard of this problem" Obviously, this IS a HUGE problem for DirecTV and now theyve been instructed to plead ignorance and not admit to the problem. CALL DIRECTTV Advanced tech support and have them note your account. Since my account has 1 million entries, they allowed me to buy a NON-H10 replacement reciever and Ive been credited that amount.
If you want to replace your H10, you have to go with an HD reciever with a DVI output. I got the Hughes HTL-HD. I pray that this same problem isnt on the HTL because the H10 is made by Hughes. We shall see.
You may find it difficult to find a reciever other than the H10. I went to BestBuy and Circut City and they ONLY had the H10. You may have to go with an online retailer or Ebay. Do you research if you want to replace it. Some models I found on Ebay............
