The OP says he has to turn it back on though - that does not sound like a
"cron reboot", but I do not know - DirecTV sent out an update 2 days ago
that disabled the use of my DECA until I hard rebooted it..  At least their
updates are infrequent and I miss a minimal amount of shows when they screw
things up.
