The later. I turn on the TV and see the front end menu, but there's no 
response to the remote, or to the keyboard. I can't connect via a 
terminal in another machine. The only solution is to power cycle the 
machine.

It is infrequent. At least a couple of weeks between incidents. I've got 
some things scheduled to record this evening. It looks like I'll have 
some free time tomorrow and nothing is scheduled to record (after 
tonight) until tomorrow evening. I'll try running memtest and see what I 
get.

Thanks for your thoughts.
