DVR box making a humming noise

[jmcohen231]

Just curious to see if anyone's DVR box is making humming noises (even when in "standby" mode)?

I sounds like a CD player searching for a track on a CD.

I just want to make sure that the box is not broken (everything is working properly as of now) and is not consuming too much energy in "standby" mode.

thanks!

Yes they do.  I have three HD DVR's and they all do that.  I originally had two and didn't notice the noise.  I ordered a third for my son and after the install all I heard was the drive that sounded like it was continuously searching.  I actually sent it back because there were some other issues that I thought were related....they weren't.  Once that happened I listened a little bit closer to my other boxes and they all do it.  I have three QIP 6416 boxes.
