    Question about DVR's Empty Question about DVR's

    I am a recent owner of a DVR I have my own DVR that has a hard drive and I used to record programs on there. Now with my new TV I like the ease of using the Directv DVR. My DVR makes a noise that sounds like a hard drive spinning, even when its not on. My question is do they all do that? I have gotten used to it but it was quite annoying in the beginning.

    Mine seem to do that as well Tony. So far there hasn't been a problem so I guess it's normal. I don't even hear it that often.

    Funny, mine does the same thing. It will spin for about an hour, then suddenly stop. Then start back up again, etc., etc. It has a hard drive, but I've never actually used it. Funny thing, until now, I never even thought about it.

    So I guess its normal then. I just wanted to make sure that its not going to explode or crash that would not be good!

    Seems so. I think we all just had a learning moment.
