Studdering DVR

Tonight the DVR got stuck into some weird loop. I've seen it a couple times before.

When I'm done viewing a recording, and delete it, the box automatically goes to "live" tv, which is all well and good. Then it stops about five to ten seconds in for no apparently reason. Hitting the "LIVE" button does no good. If you switch tuners so that it's on the other station, then switch back it plays the same five to ten second segment again, and stops again at the same place.

The only way to get out of the loop is to change channels away from the channel the loop is stuck on, and then change back again. It's easy enough to fix, but I'd hardly call it a feature.

It's just this sort of common, every day glitch that makes their DVR such a piece of junk.
