Pvr programs are played back from a hard disk drive inside or attached to the receiver. You may be able to reboot the receiver and pay back the event, there may be damage to the disk drive that caused it to freeze playback. You may also have had a signal issue during recording (especially with satellite based dvrs) that caused the image to freeze.

Different digital boxes and tv's have different levels of RF gain. Some need more signal and some need less to work efficiently.
Possibly your Bush pvr needs a much stronger signal than your tv so the available signal is permanently on the threshold of reception and atmospheric conditions will some of the time reduce the available signal when reception will become impossible for the box but still be above the threshold for the tv set.

Modern Bush is not reknown for being a high quality brand and the purchasers of budget brand pvr's often discover reception or performance problems in fringe signal areas. Because a single aerial must receive a very wide range of frequencies it will be more efficient for some channels than others and so one channel could be a fringe channel and another channel produce a very strong frequency.

The signal strength and quality can be checked for each channel by selecting options in the menu in order to check this theory.

The problem might be solved by replacing the Bush pvr with a premium brand or replacing your aerial for a more efficient type. One of my friends had five different boxes before he gained a satisfactory performance and another friend three boxes and still has problems.
My installation has a new high gain wideband aerial on top of my 3 storey house and a distribution amplifier in the loft to keep the input lead short and the whole lot connected by very good quality double-wrapped co-ax.
I had to add different amounts of attenuation for each box or tv set but in spite of the signal being on average too strong and needing attenuating there are still channels for which the aerial is not as efficient and providing only a weak signal.

It is very simple, just re-connect the device and restart the process for remaining data and simultaneously check if you have lost any data or not. If you have lost your data then you have to show your machine to an expert for Recovering Data from Hard Drive.visit us http://www.maidenheaddatarecovery.co.uk

Hello is the tv set connected to the PVR with a coax cable, and has this problem ever occurred before or did it just start happening?

try changing your scart lead ..its common problem .

I think the problem lies with what input you have selected on your tv. On your (tv) remote control there should be either a circle or square with an arrow on through it. With your pvr already switched on, turn your tv off then on again. When it says no signal, press the button on your tv remote I've described until you see a picture.

Bell sent me two mobel 5200 receivers by mistake. Can I operate them as a single tuner if I only have one line in?

Go into your Audio section of the Menu and make sure that SAP is turned OFF. Let me know how you did.

Unplug the aerial; switch the PVR On; if you have control via the remote do a reset to default settings thus:

1. press Menu on the remote
2. select Installation and enter default password of 0000 unless you have changed it
3. select Default settings and okay on YES
4. then turn if off again via the remote
5. plug the aerial back in and it will scan for channels, save them of course.

I got help on this from other forums but saw your request for help. This worked for me.
