I'm having a small issue with my PVR (the Pace box and the 1 TB add-on, as mentioned earlier in the thread).

Two small things are happening very intermittently. Has anyone else experienced either of these issues?:

- I'll get a message on-screen saying that the PVR is full and that I should delete some stuff, etc. etc. but I know for a fact that it is actually somwehere between 15 and 25% full. I look at the list of recorded programs and there is one item on the list (there should be 20 or 30). I unplug the box and the hard drive and after rebooting everything is back to normal. 20% full, all of my programs are in the list and are functioning.

- A couple of recorded programs show up in the list, the length of the program is correct (60 minutes, for example), so I know that it isn't a partial recording. Everything looks normal until you go to play it and it just sits there. Black screen. Programs recorded before and after that one work just fine, and there's no issues like conflicting recordings, a power outage, etc.

It probably only happens about 5% of the time, but it is still kind of annoying. Anyone have any insight? I was on the phone with shaw to cancel some of my "free for a month" movie channels before I had to start paying for them, and I asked the guy about it. He didn't really have an explanation, and just recommended power-cycling and making sure that I had the channel that I was trying to record on. I have obviously done both of those.

Just one of those things that I thought I'd float to the CP brain trust.
