Questions and answers
I bot a system several years ago, played with it some, never installed at that house. I am ready to try again, hooked up everything (I assume HDMI cable is equal to usingVGA cable, cause I only habe HDMI) but I cannot get it to work. Power light shows DVR is on. I suspect the remote. It was stored with no batteries channel is clean, installed new batteries, but get no response from the DVR. How can I know if router is bad? (The light at front does not light at any time, any button push)
