Well first of all I must state :
"I still love my 721"
But It is behaving poorly again. So as way of submitting a bug report .... here we go ...
running at 105 degrees ...
While we were watching a PVR even last evening, it began recording two new events. The recording fired at 8:00 EST at a point where we were about 50% through out show.
At some where near 75% playback, I hit the fast forward button and the playback visually froze on the screen.
Once the Screen Froze, I had almost no response from the unit. It appears to be extremely sluggish. The playback controls did not respond at all. I was able to get it to go ro the PVR screen, but the action was way delayed from the remote button being pressed.
The record light was on and the PVR screen showed that I was still recording, but the unit would not allow me to playback anything. I even attempted to power off the unit from the remote, but this did not improve anything. In fact ... on power off it left the single frozen frame on the screen even thought the unit was off/stand-by.
I went ahead and made the sacrifice and went to one of the recording events and pressed stop (the controls were very sluggish, but with patience it did work). So I lost the end of that show in hoped that if I freed up a tuner that I would be good to go again. ... No Joy ...
With only the single tuner running, it still behaved the same.
With one exception : I was now able to do the pip and swap to get a live channel now. With the controls still very very sluggish. And as soon as I tried to do anything PVR related, like pause or play ... it froze again!
Well time passed... blood pressure went up and down ...and this recording event completed. YES !! so I did a re-boot (held down the box power button). And in the process terminated the next new two timers that were firing.
This worked ... but it started out very sluggish ... and slowly seemed to get back to normal.
Now everything was working, even my new timers (9:00 EST) were running. AND I was able to view a PVR event while/with the two tuners just a recording away.
Final note. the interrupted events showed as duplicates (a familiar thing for me ... it seams the unit re-boots itself from time to time during a double fire) ... but one of the the short pvr events had "54134188..." listed as the length of the event!!
