Self installed SWM-8 and wierdness

So I installed my SWM-8 on Sunday and everything went smooth. I did a RBR on all boxes after taking off the BBC's and all came right up. Later that night I was watching a recording. I went into the list and selected the same recording (was trying to restart it) when the darn thing locked up. Did this 3 times in a row (was testing it). On Monday, late afternoon all of my HD DVR's decided to reboot at the same time. There was no power fluctuation (1 was on a UPS with the PI). Since I had only done a RBR on the boxes I decided to pull the plugs and let them sit for a few. This has appeared to solve the issues and overall responsiveness seems to be faster.

Just thought I would throw this out there for anyone else having issues.

that is a known system issue fixed now
Guess it was just my luck my install would happen right before all of this.
