This morning while watching TV, I noticed that the display on my 4200 had "SLP" instead of the normal 3-digit channel number. :eek:
I switched to it's input on the TV to find no audio, and a black screen.
...hmm, I thought it was done for!
Turns out a 15 second plug-pull reset fixed it, but I have no idea why it did this 'cause I've never seen anything but channel numbers on the display before.
Any thoughts? ... :confused:
 
SLP super long play VHS :rolleyes:, how bout sleep, or subscription lost :confused:
That's funny...the VHS thing was what came to mind first! LOL :D
I'm thinking that I did something, since my DSR 920 uses the same remote codes, and I was using it when the 4200 had this "SLP" on it.
Maybe there is some kind of sleep timer in it. It's still authorized, since the unplug/re-plug fixed it and it's still receiving the same programming.
(WUT type stuff ;) )
Just seemed strange since I'd never seen that before, and that box stays on 24/7.
