I've had my R15 for less than a week now, and I'm not surprised that this morning, it wouldn't turn on.

The reset button did nothing, so I cycled power.

That seemed to do it.

As expected my guide was empty.

Although still listed in my prioritizer, my recurring manual recordings were no longer in the todo list.

I guess the honeymoon is over.

Give it time. When the DVR is reset, the guide is cleared and has to be repopulated. It will happen over several hours. This procedure is not the same as a reformat which also clears any programming you're recorded. You should still have those.

I never would have thought you needed a guide for a manual record.

I have so much to learn.

When you say "recurring manual recordings" are you referring to recordings you selected in the guide by pressing R one time rather than twice (for a series link)? Or are you referring to going into the menu structure and selecting a manual recording, and entering a time and channel?

If the former, they will reappear as soon as the guide data rebuilds itself. If the latter, I think they should still be there.

Going into the menu structure and selecting a manual recording, and entering a time and channel.

BTW, the unit (while playing from MyVOD) just went to Powering Up...

I don't think I lost anything except the guide.

I'm totally disgusted with the software in R15. It's worse than anything I've ever shipped as Beta. It takes nerve to ship something like this.

What temp is it running at? (menu/settings/setup/info & test) It sounds like it might be overheating. A common cause of spontaneous reboots in PC's.

42°C

I guess that's not it. 42 should be fine.

Could have some bad hardware or a bad PS in it. Have you tried unplugging it and completely resetting it? I haven't seen anyone here say that the software has been causing reboots like that. At least that I recall, to me it sounds more like a hardware problem.
