said by swbrains:I've had two instances in the past month or so where my 8742 HDC DVR would turn on (I could see the "on" symbol on the panel illuminate) but it would output no picture and no audio.
I could then turn it off and on at that point using either the remote or the front panel button, but still no audio or video output.
I have seen this multiple times on both of my 8742s. Unfortunately, I often missed recordings when this happened. Seems to be fairly common as others have reported it also.
