Hi,

Recently 5540 I have seems to get stuck in a loop for a particular
frame while watching a live show. An on and off solves the problem
but it happen about 8-10 times. Has anyone seen this before? Is the
result of some bug in their sw or a symptom of something else?

Thanks
Felix

If this happens after extensive use you could be running out of space on
the drive. PVRs are designed to timeshift, extensive watching live is
not recommended.

Understood. However, some of these loops happen within minutes of
turning the device on/off.
