Me and my win2k sp3 machine get the same thing. Add that to the bug list.
Yeah, let's gather these bugs together! What others do we have? I discovered some disconcerting stuff last night. If I hit the "Display" button on the remote, it will say "Mono" on the screen even if the broadcast is in stereo and I'm hearing it in stereo!! I hit the "MTS" button the the remote and guess what? Onscreen it says "Stereo"! Fab! Trouble is, the sound has become MONO!! Try to get stereo back. Uh, how?! Playing with the MTS button doesn't help. The only solution I've found is starting playback of a recorded program and then stopping it. Then I'm getting stereo again watching live TV but hitting Display on the remote makes "Mono" appear on the screen. Is this nuts? You betcha. I think we should compile a list of bugs and bug the @#$%! out of these people until they fix them. Yeah, I can use workarounds as best I can determine them but there are so many bugs I think they demand a rewrite or at least a recompile with fixed code.
I think we should also hammer them about missing features. For my part, I would like a keyboard shortcut to pause playback. I'm sure I could come up with a lot of others but I've only started playing with the PVR. I tried the timeshifting feature but it was so buggy I gave up. Try going into configuration while timeshifting and you are in for a very rude surprise!
