I cam home to find all my power had gone off and had to reset
everything.
I am able to use the ReplayTV to vie previously recorded programs and
my SETUP setting all look okay but I can only view programs/schedules
as far as Dec 31. In SETUP I tried to manually connect to the service
but got a message that there was network difficulties and it would try
again later.
What should I do? I have to leave home tomorrow and will be away for a
few days but don't want to miss Alias or Lost.
HELP!!!!
Thanks

Try this in exactly this order:

1. UNPLUG the Ethernet cable - this is a very important step!
2. Unplug the RTV power cord
3. Wait 30 seconds
4. Plug the Ethernet cable back in
5. Plug the power cord back in
6. Wait for the "Please Wait" screen to finish
7. THEN go to setup and do a manual connect.

Assuming that your router is working properly (lightning took mine out
once) you should be good to go.
