Surprise Reboot

[larrykenney]

Earlier tonight I was quickly changing channels going from channel 5 to channel 65 on my HWS. I should have typed in 65 to make the change, but instead I kept pushing the channel change button. Before I got to 65, the DVR rebooted. Apparently it can't handle quick channel changes.

Anyone else experience this?

Doesn't happen on either my hopper or hopper with sling. It keeps up pretty well with how quickly I can press channel up.

I've never heard of this problem and have yet to see it myself. Hopper with sling works so good I may leave my wife and Marry it! NO little joeys for us running around that's for sure.

That gave me a good chuckle. Stand up and take a bow.........

I will get a spontaneous reboot when changing EHD connections especially when Hopper is active displaying and recording--possible overload.
I've also found that pulling the USB on a powered EHD will reboot. Pulling the power first does not do this or at least not often.

My EHD USB cable has been pulled out by my son multiple times and I've never seen my boxes reboot due to this.

Well it happens to me whenever I'm recording and pull the USB, seldom pulling power and then USB doesn't matter.
Of course you then break the ongoing recording. This for 722, H2000, and HwS.
