Plenty of problems today. This morning my wife tried to access a show with directv2pc and got a 503 media not available error. Worked okay accessing shows from the other receiver.
Both receivers were subsequently very slow. I went into network config and reran the network setups to see if that'd knock anything loose. Both units were slow, and the picture-in-guide stopped and started a few times and the audio went away for a few seconds at a pop. After I exited the system menus the picture glitching stopped. But they were both still slow.
About an hour later when they werent recording anything, I menu reset rebooted the downstairs box without realizing that my wife was MRV'ing a show from it to the upstairs one. Her show stopped and eventually gave an error. When I hit the 'list' button I still had full screen video with an overlay of a portion of the list/top movies text but no shows listed.
The downstairs box failed to complete a reboot, 10 minutes later the power light was on but there was no video output to the tv. RBR made it reboot. When I went back upstairs the upstairs unit had locked itself up,no video output. RBR got it to reboot.
So theres something that makes the units a little bit unstable and stop serving directv2pc, if you reboot a box while someone is MRVing from it to another unit, the rebooted box doesnt seem to actually reboot and the one receiving the show becomes unstable shortly thereafter.
Last goofball was that both boxes failed to record the season finale for "out of the wild: alaska" with nothing in the history. When I forced a recording of a subsequent showing it popped up a screen saying that the series link had been entered at position 19. The series link had already existed at that position. Didnt do anything bad, but the message screen seemed inappropriate because I hadnt asked it to make a new series link, just record an episode.
