A couple of nites ago I recorded "Heroes". When I tried to play it back, I could not access the first 44 min. of the recording. After messing with the recording for a few min., the STB rebooted itself and after it came back up I pressed the MENU button and was informed by a screen message that "DVR not available" at the STB. I pressed the GUIDE button, then went back to the MENU and the Recordings option was back. I tried the recording of "Heroes" again and it now played back OK. So I guess the bottom line is that if you have a problem with a recording, don't give up until you try rebooting the STB. (Press and hold the Power button on the STB for 5 seconds to reboot)

I have 3 stb's, but mostly only 1 gets used. I think that some bugs remain to be fixed and will prob. take 3-6 months or longer before everything starts smoothing out. At least it works most of the time. Being able to schedule recordings from my PC is addictive.

It happened again last nite. I was only able to access the first 38 min. of a 1 hour recording. Tried rebooting the stb, but didn't fix the problem. Luckily it wasn't something that was only on just one time.

I got a new DVR box a couple of weeks ago which seems to have fixed
most of my problems. They also changed the connection type from "auto"
to the actual cable type. I saw another post somewhere where another
user mentioned this as a problem. Haven't had to do any reboots since I got the new box.

Darnit, nope.  Rebooting it did nothing.  I guess I'll contact their tech support tomorrow.  *sigh*

Let us know what happens!

Well, nothing happened.  heh  They couldn't do anything for me.  Said if the reboot didn't work, then it was an interruption in the feed most likely.  (But why would that make the whole program freeze?  Ah well.)
