[TV] "Press any button to continue watching this channel"
I found DSL Reports while searching for "Press any button to continue watching this channel". I have TWC in my area and am having this problem in the middle of the night. This relates to SDV and TWC trying to conserve bandwidth - so they blow you off the channel if you don't "push any button". Got what I believe is the solution today. Only switch to the channel you want to record (on the cable box - Guide - Select an Option - Set Reminder) just before the program starts. I had been leaving the cable box on the channel I wanted all night, but just turning on DVR (Magnavox MDR537H) on at start of recording.
Yeah, but pressing any button still doesn't do anything. After I press any button, it still shuts off and tells me the channel is not available and to press "A" to try again.
