Maybe run an extension cord to it from an easy to access outlet. As Shaw warranties their boxes for life, who cares if a power surge happens or whatever.
So next time, I'll unplug from there, but really this is only time it has happened since October.
I do agree, it is not polished yet, but I am getting happier with it each month. If they add DLNA that will be even sweeter.
Oh and on a unrelated note, those who signed up for Gateway in the early stages, may want to check out the new theme packs for TV. I was paying $55/mo for a bunch of themes from mid-last year ($10/each). They now added a "Choice Pack" for $35/mo. Basically the same, minus MTV pack, and AMD pack, but you get the news. Fair trade, as I can download the shows anyway, and save some cash in the process.

I am always searching for a good DLNA, I am using PS3 media server through the PS3, and when that is wonky I use Plex through my TV.
