My HR20-700, which I've had since September 2006 and has been nearly flawless, started acting really odd right after midnight on the New Year. If I tried to rewind it immediately went to the start of the buffer, and then hitting play it would freeze. Also, I tried another earlier recorded show and it just came up with a grey screen and was stuck at the 0 minute mark. I have never seen this behavior before, and after a few minutes of playing around I just decided to do a reset, which seemed to cure the problem.

It seemed to be right after midnight on 1/1 that this behavior occurred, so I'm thinking it had something to do with the clock going to 1/1/2008. I'm wondering if anyone else had this strange behavior? This unit has been really flawless for over a year - and only had very minor bugs early on when I got it way back in September 2006.

Y2K.8 bug?:D No trouble here, sounds like coincidence.

Maybe just a coincidence, although I haven't had any issues with the unit in over a year so I thought it was strange timing for a bug to happen right after midnight on the new year! I was recording an HD show, and also it was downloading an On Demand item, but I've done that a bunch of times before without any troubles. Anyway, was just curious if anyone else experienced this.
