Another weekend of lockups & other wierd things.

The lockup that occurs most frequently happens while I'm watching the playback of a HD MPEG 2 program or a live MPEG 2 program. Start the program and everything seems fine, after 10 minutes or so of viewing I go to hit pause, FF or any other comman on the remote and the DVR doesn't respond. The audio & video continue to play but the box is completely locked up. I've even tried manually hitting the buttons on the box and nothing. Only a red button reset gets me back to watching the program until it occurs again.

Also had a lock up by hitting the RR button. Tried to back up a few seconds and the box locked up. Red button reset.

This one has never happened. I was in my wishlist and the DVR was searching for any possible programs under the wishlist keyword and it just kept searching for programs, endlessly. I tried to hit cancel and the box froze once again. I've lost all confidence in this thing? I thought I was starting to feel really positive about it because I had a decent day or two but after the weekend I'm just as annoyed as ever. It's a joke.

And this is my second DVR because they thought the first one was bad. I do have the protection plan which means they could send a third unit but I thought the software upgrades would eventually stop these lockups from happenning. Seems like alot of other people are having very similer problems. I didn't think a third box was going to be the answer but I could be wrong. I'll at least wait until the next upgrade.
