SA 8000
I had the same problems with the SA 8000 box. I asked for it to be replaced with the SA 8300 and many of the problems when away. At least it's stable now.
The other issue I had was signal strength. The picture looked fine but the strength caused problems with the box slowing down and crashing. They added a 2nd line and it solve this problem.
The only reason I use the DVR from my cable company is for HD recording. Satellite has this, however they charge a lot more for this ability.
