RE: [OT] Netgem freeview lockups and Tivo

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup - been getting quite a few lockups (black screen - red dot) on my Pace
OnDigital receiver recently ... Mainly seems to be when the receiver is on
channel 5. If I power cycle it it doesn't force me to rescan channels
though.

I've simply been thinking of replacing the receiver with something newer /
less chunky / more reliable.
