I have restarted the DVR several times, unplugged it for 15 minutes, etc. We'll see how it does tomorrow morning.

We are going to be on the move for the next couple weeks so I'm going to wait until then to try to arrange for a service tech to come out once we are in one place for a few days.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
