I do not have those receivers but I did have that same problem.
I have all 3 of my HD receivers plugged into a Monster Power Center model HDP2400.
I thought the receiver was causing the power center to reboot so I plugged the receivers directly into the wall. They both still shut down at random times and not all 3 at once.
I felt like it was stupid but would not hurt if I put a UPS in the line. I got one for each unit when they were on sale about 6 weeks ago. I plugged them into the wall and the power center into the ups. I also put the receivers back into the power center.
I have not had a reset since.
I do hear a click quite often that comes from the UPS. It is about as often as the receiver used to reset.
Yeah ! no more reboots of 8 to 10 minutes each time.

Signals are in the 90-100s, All are already on different UPS backup power units with 4 month old batteries, first time I noticed was yesterday 12:55pm eastern and just happened again today on some receivers at exact same time, also happened yesterday at 5:55pm and 7:55pm on different receivers and some rebooted again this morning aparently at 8:?? am. the 55 minutes after the hour seems strange, I know they are dropping an EPG steam and just wonder if this is the effect on these type units. Hopefully some one else is still using these and will comment about what they are experiencing.
Also trying to figure out if it is only happening when one of the two tuners is tuned to a local channel.

Just happened second day in a row at 7:55pm and I wasn't watching or recording a local channel at the time.
So I have one receiver that is now rebooting everyday at 7:55pm and another that reboots everyday at 12:55pm. Another also reboots at 5:55pm yesterday.
mjbav, is yours happening at 50 to 55 after the hour?

So I don't need to call Pacific Gas and Electric.
Two S4040Rs running 6.4A.
Several times on one unit yesterday. So connected second unit. Both re-booted at same time in late afternoon. Removed first unit. Second unit re-booted one or more times in evening.
Today unit on ~10:45 PST. Re-booted at 12:39:55 PST (atomic clock) and again at 2:52:55 PST.
First unit purchased 7/6/04 so this isn't my first encounter with Powering Up.

I'll check with my DirecTV sources. Usually this problem is caused by problems in the Guide Data stream.

Config - two SD HDVR's Hughes & Mfg 100 Series 2 - (Signal Strength 95+)
Both DVR's began to do random reboots approx 4/5 days ago. I have seen them reboot in the morning, afternoon and evening. Yesterday I did a manual system RESTART on both at 5PM - one of the units reboot about 3 hours later while I was watching a football game. One of the units has an upgraded hard drive (2010).
NOTE: There was a very similar problem about 2 years ago. It began in late September/October and lasted about a month. The problem was with the SOFTWARE and a FIX was issued.
