    It looks like the display is damaged. Possibly due to water, but needs to be replaced.[/quotemsg] I was told it was the EVF, maybe you are right. Thanks.

    Can I build my own DVR with parts from an existing DVR?

    I have a "never used" DirectTV DVR. I know it's useless without cable service but I was reading that with an old PC you can build your own. My question is can I use anything on the DirectTV DVR for my project, the case, hard drive, remote, etc? Thanks.
