Hello all, my name is Ignacio, I'm from Spain.
Two weeks ago, my father bought a PVR Sony rdr-dc100 as a substitution for another SONY, because next april all analog channels will stop transmitting.
I did the quick setup, tuning all digital channels, configuring the GUIDE+ and reordering the channels to put the most used first. Also I configured some scheduled recording for that night.
Next day, I discovered that the channel ordering changed. It looked like all channels were rediscovered, same sorting that after the initial setup. The recorded TV programs were at different channels (the number was OK, but the actual channel was different due to reordering).
I reordered the channels again, and that night, my father (with sleep problems) watched that the DVR about 4AM displayed "UPDATE" on the screen for about 15min. After that, all the channels were disordered again.
This happened almost every night.
I tried a factory reset (STOP+POWER buttons at the same time) and I configured the channels again. This time I switched to EPG guide instead of GUIDE+, just to check.
Just after I did the quick setup and reordered the channels, I powered off the Sony. The UPDATE message appeared again, this time for more than 1h. After that, all channels were rediscovered again! Very frustrating. This happened two more times. at night.
Another strange symptom is that randomly, at power off, the message "POWEROFF" blinks for 1-2 minutes before really powering off. I don't know if this is OK,the other Sony unit never did this.
I don't know if there is something wrong with this particular unit, if all the model is wrong, if I'm doing something wrong or what.
I'm returning this unit but I don't know if get another unit of the same model or check another manufacturer. We were interested in the Sony because the menu is similar to the older Sony menu.
Any advice is welcome!
Thank you.
