</div></div>A common problem with the HD-PVR (and the HDHR) is a bad power brick. If<br>
you have a spare 5 volt source at 3 amps or more of some type I'd try<br>
replacing that and see if it makes a difference.<br>
<br>
ISTR some of the very early HD-PVRs had a problem that caused them to<br>
run very hot, you might also check the temperature of your unit.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>If anything it's cold, and it's not a very early HD-PVR, about 7 months old.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't have a spare power brick, but that will be a lot cheaper than a new HD-PVR.</div>
