Motorola DVR Recordings won't Play!?

Question

I've been using a Motorola DVR with Charter Cable for a couple months now with no problems. But today, when I went to watch a recorded show, all I got was a black screen. It had the normal progress bar at the bottom, but it wasn't advancing at all. I then tried to watch old shows I had saved and I ran into the same exact problem.

I then attempted to just record a new show and I still had no luck. Does anyone have any advice?

Answer 1

Try to reboot the machine.
Unplug from the wall. Wait 30 sec, then plug in, and restart.
If this does not help, then there is a problem with the player.
