Almost 2 yrs ago, the 211k's would reboot for no apparent reason, mine was always tuned to specific OTA channels, but that problem was fixed. Now it will reboot while recording, sat or ota, creating 4 or 5 files for a one hr show, not every show, but the frequency seems to be accelerating. Everything else seems to function fine, pause, playback from the drive. It's a 750gb WD recertified that I bought off Ebay in Feb08, probably has one of their green drives in it. Has anybody else had this issue ? Does the drive just suddenly not work one day, or will it exhibit some symptoms ?

I'm thinking about buying another drive and retiring the old one, it has a ton of movies on it, mpeg4 is unreal. It only filled up one time when the kids created an all episode timer for Sponge Bob right before we went on vacation.
