Forgive me in advance for the wordy post. I'm going to be as specific as possible to see if anyone can help.
Last night upon coming home to watch something recorded on my 522, there were no recordings listed in the "My recordings" section. On top it said I had 14+ hours of available space to record, but I know I had things saved on there from years back. After toggling through a couple more menus and having the device react VERY slowly, I gave it a reset holding down the power button on the front panel.
This brought up a "System Integrity Check" that took about an hour and a half to finish. When it finally did, everything loaded as normal. I checked my recordings, and they reappeared. I deleted some nonsense, thinking maybe the hard drive was just too full. Got it down to about 31+ hours of available space. Noticed a couple shows set to record last night only recorded for a portion of the set time. For example, a show that was supposed to record for an hour only recorded for 26 minutes.
Tried to watch something on the DVR, and the screen went black for about a minute, before trying to show the recorded program. It would jump around, pausing for about ten seconds at a time. This lasted for about 3 minutes before showing me the program was over when I hadn't even made it through the first segment. Obviously, it was totally unwatchable, but I just wanted to see how it would act. It was late and I was fed up so I turned it off and went to bed.
Woke up this morning and it was doing the same thing. I unplugged the device for about 3 hours today, and finally plugged it in a while ago. It took about 5 minutes to load up the first time, before self restarting to load up again. It has since been running alright but I still can't watch any programs I have recorded without it doing the same choppy thing from last night, even though it shows they're all there.
So, I guess I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to get this thing humming again short of getting a replacement from E*. It's almost four years old, so I guess this was bound to happen eventually. Any help you have is appreciated!

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.
Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!
If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...
For a whole generation of adults it was in the 1960s and 1970s.You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
