One of us is strange - or (most likely) of limited capacity. I suggest a mirror. If you are truly that clueless (and there is more than ample evidence that you are) then ... read a history book or watch something other than "Biggest Loser" or ... something. I have neither the patience nor the...

You tell 'em, Twinkles - I am sure all of the families of Holocaust survivors (including mine) will be placated by your smiley face. Thanks anyway, Nancy!! :)

Thanks for the info which prompted me to check and find I was also just updated to L690. Owing to the phase of the moon and/or the expulsion of gas by a small, flightless parrot in New Zealand, mine only slows in the evening - time variable. L690 doesn't seem to have been a curative in some...

Yes, I would surely despise having any accurate data so that I might attempt a correlation with my own machine's behavior. None exists, but thanks so very, very much for the clarification. Mea maxima culpa ... :facepalm

The Lexus was idling rough so I had the leasing company swap it out for a Corolla ... :D

I assume you mean EDT, but I can say in any event that the only thing that restores normal operations for me (722K/L688) is the POR I mentioned previously. I can see where the multiple apparently contradictory/complicating behaviors would make debug a bear, but I would've been in daily...

Well, the trend is always more accumulated usage as the day wears on - sure, but I wouldn't have posited a memory leak if it didn't clear on POR. If it isn't a memory leak, it manifests in just about every way possible to appear as one. I suppose I could pay better attention to the timing of...

This bug, like manic depression, is a frustratin' MESS! It is manifesting exactly as a memory leak on my 722K/L688. It's fine early in the day and then slooooooows dooooowwwwnnn as the day wears on until by now (8:52 PM MST) the guide is nearly unusable. Reading some of the other posts, I am...

Just wanted to post back with confirmation that it appears it was indeed a failing 722 HDD at the root of my problems. To address my problem they sent me ... a *failed* 722. ;) Tech came out the same day with a brand spankin' new 722K and I am back in bidnezz once again. Nice machine, too...

If this was my own equipment or if I had a serious financial investment in it I might do just that, but this isn't worth it to me. I dumped the programming I was interested in to one of my backup enclosures and am just waiting to see if the swap is the answer. As to the other failures ... I...

Well, I'm sure! Fourth straight day of "No Info Available" and the nth of n+1 Check Switch reloads has done it for me. It is difficult to believe that this update exposed weaknesses in who-knows-how-many 722 HDDs, but I worked in the disk storage business for twenty years and I would never say...

Well, that does make some sense. Data checks/bad sectors/bad ECC/etc. could easily disrupt/corrupt a downloaded guide and mess with the internal s/w timer algorithms. It is absolutely getting worse over time. Is there any way to clone the HDD or is dumping to another external drive (the...

Sorry to hear that, but it sounds like we are in a similar L676-induced hole. In my case, the program guide showed six or seven shows in a row being recorded (with proper names), but the Schedule display showed a "No Info Available" episode recording for *three* hours in that same time slot...

For sure, but I have everything plugged into a surge protector so I am pretty certain the power supply for the switch was de-energized along with the TV and the 722 when performing the PORs. It is certainly worth another shot, though. This is an installation that I had no problems with for...

>> Agree this is frustrating. Thanks for the sympathy! Today it appears that the CST aftermath has resolved itself in a more competent manner as the scheduled shows have morphed back to their real titles (and recording durations!). Having to perform the CST and/or POR on an almost daily basis...
