Question about my 622 DVR

[35LKSA]

I work out of my home. I generally have my TV on and the channel set to one of the Sirius music stations. It seems after a few hours (maybe 4 or 5) the receiver seems to go thru a reset. Picture goes out, receiver lights go out, disk spins up, it sits for a while, then I get the screen SEARCHING FOR SIGNAL. Then it works normal again. :rant:

I mean it is not a big deal as I'm just listening to music but I can't figure out why it is doing what it is doing.

I checked the IDLE timer and it is set for 4 hours. I increased it to 8. The software download preference is set to 3 AM.

Any ideas?

power supply most likely. like running things off of a generator, they blink off and on sooner or later

Since you set it to 8 hours, does it stay on??

yes it still does it.

Could it be overheating?

Mine pulled the same thing tonight...was recording one show, timer fired up to record something else on the other tuner, POOF...off to reboot land.

Could be your hard disk in the receiver getting ready to go bad. I had a 612 that did the same thing then one day the disk completely died.

Your 622 is probably over-heating. Put a small fan blowing on it and it will probably quit. Mine did.
