Last night we wanted to watch "The Simpsons" (recorded) while "Cold Case" was recording. Started "The Simpsons" from My Vod. Within 10 seconds of starting the recording acted like it does during rain fade, but it wasn't raining when we recorded it. Started pixellating, and locked up.
R15 froze solid, BSOD, no response, nothing. Hit reset, went through the Welcome and Almost There screens, then went BSOD and turned on the yellow record light and no others.
Tried reset again, same thing. By now we are PO'ed and we switch to the antenna input to watch "Cold Case" thinking we won't get to see it otherwise. Never mind that I didn't think to record it on the other R15 or the HR20, I was PO'ed and not thinking straight. Gave up on it for the night after that.
This morning I try to reset the unit again. Same thing again. So I decide to take the hit and reformat again for the second time in a few weeks. Since I can't get the unit to even fire up I have to do the down arrow/rec reset instead of the reformat though the menu.
Guess what? IT DOESN'T WORK!! I hit reset, waited for the Welcome screen to come up, and I then held down the down arrow and the rec button. No response, went through the normal "startup", i.e. Welcome screen, almost there screen, BSOD, yellow light. So I tried it again without the reset first. Just held the down arrow and rec buttons down for a minute. Again, no response.
NOW what do I do? Did I do the reformat incorrectly or something?
