I am having a issue with a old RCA unit that after it plays about 30 minutes it shuts down and will play after re-boot. Is there a software issue that needs to be done? Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I sold this unit on Ebay and he just activated today and that was what he told me it was doing.I used this receiver for about 6 months then packed it away in the box it came in.

Not to veer OT too much, but how much did you get for it on ebay?
I have 3 legacy directv based TIVO's laying around in their boxes, retired. Is there a market for these things?

I understand about 10.00 I wanted to move them trying to spring clean

IMO, either the hard drive or the power supply is failing, with hard drive failure being much more common between the two. Both are common failure modes of older Tivos, though.

I'm guessing hard drive. Might have been damaged during shipment. Have the buyer try a "Clear and Delete Everything".

Or the rebooting could be something else going on.Turned on my HR10-250 tonight after 30 minutes it rebooted.Now has been over another 30 minutes nothing.If it reboots again tonight will report it.:confused:

Issue has been resolved. Did a system reset and changed the zip code to where it is now and all is fixed

Good to hear. Thanks for the update.
