My DirecTV box has been rebooting for the hell of it lately. I'll lose programming that took over an hour. Told Mrs. Pacman yesterday that if it happens again, DirecTV can come over and pick up the little pieces of the box out in our driveway, and we'll be watching movies or nothing. Man, that ticks me off. Takes over an hour to program 11 days worth of events, then it just reboots...for no apparent reason. Maybe it's got Windows software running it.

RE #4

D*DVRs run linux.

Constant reboot loops are usually a sign of a failing hard disk. How long have you had the unit?

#9 Yeah, that's what worries me. Still a bunch of stuff on there we haven't watched.

The unit is only a couple years old. We should just have DirecTV come out with a new unit. They can transfer the existing stuff. Still pisses me off, however.
