I've had it for 5+ years, and this morning, the time (and program guide) is off by two hours. It's 11:09, and when the guide comes up, it says 9:00. Never had this happen before...

You might want to check the hacker sites... they may have put an agent in the data stream. They keep trying more and more radical things to stop card hacks.

No problems here.

rather OT, but...you provide no email address....so:

try re-booting the box.

Turn off the power, remove the card, unplug the power cord.

Let sit for 15 minutes.

plug power back in, put card back in, turn box on.

This worked for me last month when for some reason there was picture, but no sound. Others that I called on the phone said they had no problems.
