Twice this week, I was watching an MPEG4 recording (while recording it), when the recording when grey. Rebooting did not help. Is this a common 'feature' of the last NR?

Its ok when it happens to my MLB-EI recordings, but when the gymnastics on the olympics get messed up, the WAF peaks at NUCLEAR.

Anyone?

Bueller?

No this is not a common feature of any release. Check your signal strenght, pay close attention to 103c/99c.

It may not be common, but I've had it and according to the recent directv repairman who visited, its a known software problem.

It may be related to your dish/lnb/switch or it may be an actual issue.

I only say this because every release seems to have a release note or two on "under the hood improvements", "tuning robustness" and "recording issues". So apparently something or other has been broken at least for some people in some usage models and its been fixed.

Which doesnt mean it doesnt have friends.

Its not a dish/alignment issue, as the beginning of the recording is fine, and the same channels are fine on my other HR20-100 and my HR21. Unless one of the ports on the MS is intermittent, this is a software problem.

The first time it was the MLB-EI recording, and the second time was the gymnastics on Sunday night.

I think that if this happens again, I may not be able to stop my wife from calling D* to cancel!
