i had the same problem with my PVR too. sometimes it even recorded some tv show by itself and i can't delete those tv show that was recorded by itself. last time i solved it with formatting the hard drive but somehow it occurs again now . will replace the decoder to the Samsung's solve this issue ?

It is not hardware issue. It is a software issue. Changing to another decoder will not help. Astro must release a new version of software that has this fix.....

Certain batch Of decoder have the proble
My pace pvr label says it is manufactured in 2013 so it has no problem.
Changing to a new decoder might somehow help

beyond decoders are under astro so lifetime warranty.
swapping to samsung cost 50 for installation

finally, someone who has the same problem like mine..

bro, i faced similar issues 2mths back..

1. suddenly the PVR recorded unintended shows (mine was Tarzan).
2. PVR starts to slow down, changing channels took almost 3-4mins before the channel changes.
3. Cannot record shows (randomly showing 'recording failed').

so i changed mine, also same like yours, since >1yr, i do not have warranty already
but they change for free. the only thing is that, all your recorded stuffs are now gone with the old PVR.

and after 2mths using this new PVR.. now it happens again..
the new PVR starts to record unintended shows, even to the extent that
the red LED 'record' is on, but no new recording entry..

you can opt to get technical support for free but they might not swap it to samsung branded one which a lot faster.
if u take a swap it might take longer but the decoder i think can last a lot longer than pace branded one.
Its up to you.

i cant delete the recorded show, how to solve that?

you change to samsung one/so many new one also got problem?
i think got ghost la, help you record everytime.

wow so to resolve have to change box?

not specifically software problem.
different pace batch like i have before do not have any problem

call astro and complain like an *******.
they will get annoyed and also ask for sammy pvr.

WTH? I got a replacement PVR within 48 hours when the same thing happened to me a few months ago.

Installer should give you all the Samsung PVR things like manual and remote. the samsung remote normally for us who have is usually for backup only, cause the installer dont take our pace remote de

Your installer took the remote and sell it online 

That one is given because u let astro know the situation. Else installer will make profit from it
