DIRECTV – Reboot Procedure

There are a number of reasons why you might want to reboot your DIRECTV (DTV) boxes, and it’s always the first step we take when you are having issues.

You should consider everything in your AV rack a computer, and just like the computer you use at home or at the office, they will occasionally freeze up and need to be rebooted. 

Depending on the model of DTV box you have, the reboot procedure will be slightly different.
