I too have the same issue; the yellow light is on all the time the PVR is on. I have tried a cold boot more than once but it makes no difference and there are no Notifications. While you may say it does not "seem ..." to be affecting things, we have noticed a marked slow down in the PVR functions. Whereas previously it would stop when you hit stop, not it takes time to react to ANY commands from the remote - and no it is not the batteries in the remote. Please address this universally ASAP or expect to have PVR's turned in for exchange for a newer one (ours is 15 months old), in search of an improvement in your expensive service.
