We were up to almost one reboot a day in the evening hours on average. The clearer sound was far more common when we did that. We noticed that if we selected the US channel and it was simsubbed to a Canadian network, the main network feed was used rather than a local channel. The fact they were not ‘local’ was not a major issue, as we tend to skip most advertisements anyway, but it seemed to us (and our Soundbar) that although the decoder was still reporting 5.1 sound, the actual broadcast sound seemed more 'muffled' (like a compressed stereo) that we were hearing most of the time from those channels. However we noticed that non-local channels were getting priority such as CTV Timmins and Global Durham. ![]() Our recordings had been set to "HD only" and a change in our package moved us from the Advanced Channel Lineup to the new National Lineup. ![]() Recently the frequency jumped to almost one a day, and I have associated it with changes I had made to our recording approach that caused more simsubbing. ![]() They got us to go through several steps, unplugging power, disconnecting sat feeds repowering, moving the plug to a wall socket instead of our multi plug and none made a difference, but of course it did seem random. Initially we had noticed that it was around 19:00 or 19:30 and we contacted Shaw. Since we switched to an HDPVR 830 we were getting occasional random (we thought) reboots.
