I had this happen the other day. With the Expander drive still connected to the PVR with the data cable, unplug the power to the expander for a minute and then plug it back in. It worked for me and I was very relieved when it did.

As has been mentioned before, the addition of a simple UPS can eliminate many of these types of problems. Sure, it won't keep your equipment going for more than an hour or two but it can save the grief of 'lost recordings' due to intermittent power outages. The bigger and better the UPS you buy, the longer it will be able to keep your PVR alive. Even the cheapest ($50 or so) UPS can make a big difference. I started out that way and liked it so much I moved up to 2 mid level units so I can still watch tv while the lights are out.

Can you tell us what size the hard drive is in the 3400 that the tech gave you?

Apparently the 3400s being sent out as replacements for the Pace 770s are only a 250gig drive. See Post #9 in this thread: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=131125. I was just curious if the techs were issuing these too. It's good to hear you probably got a 500gig one. The menu should be the same as before as all Moto boxes are the same in that regard.

Should be power off and guide. I've got a recording going now so I can't check.
