error code: 05 ???

[smokey982]

I have a show I DVR'd from my antenna the other day. I watched about half of the show and I had to cancel out of it while it was playing. But now when I go to finish watching it, I get an error code 05 message. Does anyone know what this means?

It gives me the option of resuming or starting over, but I get the same message on both options.

I believe a 05 error code means the receiver either lost the signal or lost power.
