Error 22-250

linuspbmo · Jul 18, 2017

I have a H25 receiver and this morning we turned it on and the screen stayed blank. After an hour I unplugged it and it started to reboot and said it detected a problem and I hit continue. It then showed an error 22-250, I'm sure of the 22 which is a storage error but the 250 I think is correct. I hit continue and it said formatting storage device. It went through that process and then started working OK. Several hours later it went to a black screen and after an RBR got stuck on running receiver self check. I swapped out another H-25 in a spare bedroom and it works fine. I didn't think the H-25 had a storage device so how could it format it. I will call Directv tomorrow and get them to send me another one but I wonder what went wrong with it. It's several years old. All of my other receivers are working fine including a HR-44 and a HR-24.

Can you get a replacement for that H25?

I have already called and they are sending me a new unit. I was just curious about how does a unit without storage have a storage error and and then format that non existent storage.

I was wondering about that. I know some stuff is on some kind of flash drive, but how does that make it possible for a "storage problem"? My idea of a storage error is a bad HDD. I've never had any other problems relating to storage.

It does have some limited solid state storage to hold your settings and downloaded guide data, in addition to operating software which gets updated once in a while.

Ram and flash drives which are also storage can absolutely have issues. With that said could be a false report of what the issue is too.

Is too.

Is too what? I know (I hope) the Tapatalk causes these problems.

Just curious.

Yeah that wasn't even tapatalk. That was my big fat finger hitting return when it shouldn't have. [emoji23]

Commas make reading comprehensible.
