Unplug from the wall for 30 seconds and plug it back in. Thats the only way I know to fix that problem.

Every week it mines records the first 4 minutes of Desperate Housewives. The only fix I found for this was to actually be home to push the record button on the remote or to download the show from a torrent site.

Which is worse not recording or a recording that isn't watchable due to drop outs? L2.07 did it cure anything?

I dunno, I think maybe the hardware's intelligent enough to recognise that Desperate Housewives is not worth watching past the first 4 minutes.

I agree that dropouts and freezes are a BIG pain on any playback. Fix it already E*!

I've never had a timer misfire or have any 1 min recordings.

I have Monday nite Stargate for 5 hours, Star-Trek Enterprise, and Stargate Atlantis on Friday.

I had the same issue after L207. I ended up having to discard all the timers I had created prior and re-create them.
