Lately I have experienced some odd problems with timers on three different PVR 5900s.
PVR Number one:
The first PVR problem:
All of the timers disappeared from the schedule. However, they remained in the Timer section where they are stored after they are created.
I recreated the timers but forgot one of them which is a five day a week timer. Everything was fine then.
A couple days later, the new timers disappeared and the old timers came back including the timer I forgot to recreate. Everything has been fine (fingers crossed) for three weeks now.
PVR Number Two:
The second different PVR problem:
When I created a timer I got either a green screen or a pink screen and, if I was recording, the recording stopped. I assumed I lost the signal and turned off the PVR and did a hard boot. Everything was fine, but the timer was not on the schedule. I decided I may have too many timers so I deleted a five day a week timer.
The next time I tried to create a timer I got a pink screen. Same thing happened.
The next time I tried to create a timer I got another green screen.
After those weird events, everything has been fine for a couple weeks, including my ability to set new timers.
PVR Number Three:
The third different PVR problem:
On this third PVR I set three timers to record. Two of them were two separate, consecutive hours of the same program. One of the hours recorded. The other did not. However, the history section indicates that the unrecorded hour (ie. not on my list of recorded programs) was recorded.
If any of you have either had any of these problems, or even better, can explain them, I'd appreciate the information.
Except for these strange occurrences, the three PVRs function very well.
