It could be that ticket that ross mentioned. I sometimes
find that it does it to one pvr and not the other and at times both,
and when it is one, it's random with one. I will try what you put
up above, but i just added a reboot in crontab every day at 6:00am ,
cause it seems to start after it's been on for awhile, usually longer
than a day. guess i'll just deal with it, really want a pvr-500
though, if it get's worse might just spring for one. If it did
come to that, i would remov e the reboot part and wait till it happened
and try what you suggested.<br>
