This also happens to me. happens on any channel, and I've recently reflashed the firmware and gone through the power and deep scan to get it all up to scratch.

I've gone through the word doc and the box isn't a clone.

is there anything I can check or do to pull off a report or any system diagnostics programs I can run over the RS232 cable?

Think everyone has the same issue with the box.

I've reflashed, reprogrammed and got nowhere with it.
I've heard that if you remove the hard drive it works fine, bit of waste as it's a PVR.

I've also heard that there is a code freeze for the box and nobody is working on any new firmware for it

You remove the hard drive for one night only and then insert it back in the following day. Make sure it is not set to turn off via the timer as that can also be the problem.

When you take out the hard drive, carry out a factory reset and rescan. Then leave out the hard drive as said and replace the next day. Failing that a reflash without the drive inserted may be required.

Fantastic Satsmo,

That solution worked. I had the first night my 5100 was alive in the morning today.

Brilliant, I'll give this one a go tonight then hopefully I'll have a working morning PVR for Christmas!
