Ah, OK, that makes sense.

I don't remember anyone reporting that message during our initial
testing. Sounds like an 'I'm busy' sort of message.

I would suggest pulling the power on the HDHR sometime this weekend
and starting from scratch with a cold boot of the thing.

Also, I'll be asking this of people as they report problems, is your
HDHR updated to the most recent firmware? If not, please report back
what happens after you update.

Cheers,
Mark
