ReplayTV and storms

This past Tuesday night, we had a very severe storm in our area. It was rather brief but very intense.

The next day or so, I noticed one of the ReplayTVs not working properly. It seems the tuner is no longer working. ReplayTV would show recorded things just fine, but not anything live. In addition, when the unit is off, the TV still could not show anything.

So now I am only down to 5 working ReplayTVs!!!!

Anyway, since I had put a 400GB hard drive in one of the other ReplayTV units, I went ahead and installed that ReplayTV and moved the non-working tuner ReplayTV into the media room.

On Friday (today), we found the bedroom ReplayTV was also not showing anything live. This seemed very funny, though, considering it was working properly up through Friday morning when it recorded Fujisankei News ok. Anyway, I noticed it had not rebooted for a couple of days, so I unplugged the machine for several minutes. When I plugged it back in, it was working ok. Whew!

So here is the current set up:
Bedroom
250 hours
Family Room
160 hours
Upstairs
400 hours
Media
250 hours
Media 2
160 hours
Media 3
200 hours


Uopdate: Tuner is now working on the ReplayTV. Yay!
