I think I broke it. Chuck recording on the digital antenna(HD). House recording on local fox channel off the satellite(HD). A 3rd show recording on the CBS channel off the satellite(HD). All while watching a DishOnline showing that I downloaded of The Beast (HD).

all of a sudden, errors seeing 129, errors seeing the digital signal. record light is on but nothing recording. Hold the power button and reset. Came back up still all hosed up though now can see 129. Power button and reset again. Comes up, hangs at acquiring satellite signal 5 of 5, though record light comes on. Eventually clears up but no sound. Pictures, no sound.

I stopped current timers , and then this time I pulled the plug after powering it down. I'll cross my fingers.
 
Well. I got it recording the rest of the 3 feeds, and just didn't touch once it came back up. It finished, and with sound.

It was weird. Since hooking up the digital TV antenna, it is nice to be able to record 3 different channels at the same time. Picking up some USA shows we didn't normally get to record.

What it sounds like is the 1st stages of the int HDD going bad. Pay for the enable fee (if you don't have) and dump all your shows off to it this way you won't lose the recording if it starts the constant reboot.
 

Where is the TV2 IR (to UHF) converter?
