HELP!!! My replay 4500 has a blue screen with no other messages. with
the replay unit off or on it's the same thing. I am using RF conectors
only. My switcher doesn't support composite video. I don't want to get
another converter just for testing purposes. I tested the cables and
transfered a setup that IS currently working on a DVD recorder to the
replay and get nothing. I'm thinking RF module is bad and the unit is
out of warranty. Ideas?

It may be. Try the composite output. Many TVs not have a composite
input you can check it with. If yours doesn't VCRs always do and you
can use that.

RF isn't going to work if the system doesn't boot. You have to use the
composite outs. Most likely the drive failed.
