Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm having a problem with my Philips DSR7000. I've got 6.2a, zippered, 120GB HD, Networked.
Scenario: Several days ago, I had this strange problem where my NPL would come up blank. I rebooted it several times and it finally came up after waiting 30 seconds or so. Worked fine for a couple days after that.
I bring it with me to my in-laws vacation home and hook it up. It works for about 12 hours, then starts having the following issues:
1. Live TV will play for a few minutes, then freeze for a few seconds, then play, then freeze, etc. When it starts doing this, the remote becomes useless and I have to reboot by unplugging the unit.
2. Recorded shows are doing the same thing, even ones recorded several weeks ago, before any issues started.
3. I brought a secondary remote from another machine and it didn't work from the beginning (the DTV or List buttons didn't work) I can't imagine that trying to use this other remote actually made this unit go wonky...?
I have tried swapping cables on the tuners, only using one tuner, etc. I'm not using composite or s-video.
I plugged in a non-DVR receiver and it works fine, so it's not the signal, or anything on or blocking the dish.
What could be going on?
Thanks for any thoughts or advice.
