constantly having to reboot PVR

Is there a reason why I have to constantly reboot my PVR?

I turn on the TV and get a blank screen until I reboot the PVR. Use to happen once or twice a month now maybe 2 or three times a week. Very annoying as scheduled shows do not get recorded. Does not happen as I'm watching TV, only after the TV is off overnight or while at work. Thanks

Hi, I am using the Arris AX013ANM box, i have swapped out the cable, the only way I can get my box to work is to unplug it and plug it back in, it happened again around 10:15pm on Thursday as my PVR stopped recording

@bchong hmm, the signal to your Gateway looks solid from what I see here. Since recordings don't get recorded when you see a blank screen, it may be an equipment issue. Generally, a swap is recommended to resolve this matter as I don't see any other causes.

I live for 2 years with that automatic reboot PVR every 4 to 6 recorded shows, mostly right after deleting one of them.

As I watched the tv 12 hours a day, the reboots are about 3-4 times a day.

So, please contact Shaw Support (1-888-472-2222) and ask the Shaw Agent to remotely logon to your cable-modem, to review its internal statistics, to see if a swap is the correct remediation.
