and shouldn't happen, there is no need to torrent shows. Shaw Direct has most shows on VOD available a day or two after the original airing. Luckily I haven't had any broken recordings so far, but if I did, I would just watch it using VOD. At least it is free AND legal! Thats great if you can get VOD. Some of us can't so we are forced to find alternative means to be entertained Drama continues..... One 630 keeps locking up, front panel reset impossible, so have to unplug for a few minutes, then plug back in, only to have it lock up again a few hours later. Done this procedure 4 times now in two days. The other receiver has broken recordings galore... wife not happy at ALL. I was watching 2 PVRd shows (back to back) last night while 2 other shows were recording. I just want to note here that i watched and deleted 2 shows (after done watching) while the other 2 recorded and everything went fine. Both shows recorded properly. There was a bit of lag on the rcvr registering button clicks from the remote but that's about it. Since 8.26 i've suffered from about 4 or so broken recordings as well. Have you called SD and asked for a Hardware replacement? or anything like that? I am curious as to what they say. Haven't called yet as I hate waiting on hold for 45 minutes or more. I'm not at my home address
