Iq Turned Off By Itself Sunday - Anyone Else ?

[tomlc]

On Sunday arvo was watching a show I recorded when suddenly the IQ box just completely turned off as in all lights went out. I watched it for maybe a

minute then they all lit up then after about another minute was just the read light and I turned it back on and all working.

It never mentioned anything about an update or anything or is this what happens when Foxtel update.

I am going on hol's next week and will be recording quite a few shows so I hope this wont fool around with recordings ?

did anyone else get this on Sunday ? have only had the IQ for 2 months maybe its the norm ?

From my experience this marks the beginning of the end for your IQ. I've had 3 replacements in 4 yrs. All start by the HDD becoming corrupt and rebooting the IQ. Soon it won't work at all.

yes mine did it too on sunday , but i think i know why

i was recording one program but it wouldn't let me watch another program , it kept saying Iepg service no broadcast on this channel , it must of been the on demand service trying to download . i kept trying to cancel that record and then it eventually rebooted

I also recorded Sunshine and 300 on Sunday night and was watching something else when on came the conflict message so i just turne off Foxtel and watched FTA.

Just tried 3 times to watch Sunshine and evertime when the conflicting recording thingy showed on screen my IQ just turned itself off. Like a complete reboot ?

I was fast forwarding when it happened and happened same spot 2nd time so 3rd time just let it run normal speed but the second I went to fast forward it rebooted ?

Have only had IQ for couple of months.

Or can you just get a farked recording ? I fast forwarded on other recordings and no prob so I just deleted Sunshine. Damn miss the ending now but will get it next time.

I dont remember having these probs with good old fashioned tape recorders

So is a farked recording something that occassionaly happens or as another poster suggested my IQ is on the way out after only a couple of months ?
