So I'm watching TV the other day and I lose the picture to a black screen, and the 622, upon inspection is 'off' (no lights, fan, hard drive sound, etc). The power button receives no response, so I unplug, and replug to reboot the system. After a few seconds all the front panel lights light up for a second or two, and the unit shuts down except for some intermitant hard drive activity. I wouldn't call it a grinding sound, but it's not the usual hard drive sound either.
There is no video out put via component, HDMI or modulator.
If have not explored hooking a display up to the regular old composite video to see if there's anything there, but I'm not hopeful.
1) Has anyone experienced the 'death' of a 622, and is this consistant with that?
2) Is there anyway to watch what is saved on the hard drive? Nothing is irreplaceable and/or PPV, but it sure would be nice (and higher quality) to watch the HD programs already recorded.
