After 2 months of nearly perfect performance, the HR20 came up and bit me in the ass!!
I get home yesturday and I find all my MPEG4 chnls mysteriosly missing from the guide! OK, this has hsppened once or twice with the H20. I'll just add them back in!
Add them in, go to highlite done, froze!!! non responsive, give it about 3 mins, red button reset! (Notice they changed the startup screen msg somewhere along the way) Comes back up, record lite comes on and I noticed it was recording Ohio st vs Mich, I asked my son if he had scheduled it to record, he said no!
I had scheduled BC vs MARYLAND, so I checked, it was in the playlist so I started to watch, FROZE agian! RED BUTTON RESET! Comes back, no MPEG4 chnl in guide agian, decided to add later and just watch Ohio st. / Mich, while watching, BSOD, remote still works, MPEG2 chnls ok, blank screen on all MPEG4! B4 I do reset, MPEG4 chnl comes back for about 30 secs then picture freezes, system lockup!
Powerdown reset, no further lockups the rest of the night!
I know some people were complaining about the noisy hard drive, I never heard it until last night, It sounded to me the thing was struggling to stay alive!
Now I'm not home today, I have a scheduled ST HD recording of the PATS vs PACKERS game! I will not be happy if when I get home I can't sit down and watch a perfect recording of that game!
TO THINK, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO OUT AND BUY ANOTHER ONE !:eek2:
