LG RH399H Get the message "Record blocking signal detected" on trying to record from Big TV DTH STB on my new LG RH399H Hard Disk based recorder. Help in this regard will regain my recorder functions.

I've had "Record-blocking signals detected" on my LG RH398H-M recorder off & on since I bought it almost a year ago. Also other minor problems. LG replaced the recorder 4 times with no change in problems. I became suspicious when I found that when these messages came on I could switch to any channel, digital or analog, even the weather channel, and I would still get the same message for about 5 minutes & then everything would be OK again. Recently I finally got the chance to try something. When the message came on I disconnected the input to the recorder and the message still came on! Again, I got the message "Record-blocking signal detected" with ABSOLUTELY NO INPUT CONNECTED to the recorder!!! Of course it's impossible for the recorder to be receiving blocking signals when there's nothing connected to the inputs. I wrote to LG again and threatened a law suit but so far they've been ignoring me. I would like to hear from anyone who can duplicate the above.

I have the same problem with the same model LG, bought a year ago. It only gives the 'Record-blocking signals detected' message when there's something I really want to record. Over the winter it was Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice. Today it is the British Open Golf from Turnberry. We are out tomorrow, for the last day of play and can't record!!!!! It seems this player has build in blocking signals even to channels we can normally watch. Any help would be appreciated - before tomorrow, July 19th.

The only channel that gives this notice is Speed. Every time and all the time. I had Express Vu satellite when I first purchased the LG and now I have Cogeco cable and both have the same issue. Only the one channel blocks the signal. I've asked the agent who hooked up the cable if he knows anything about it and he has asked around but nothing so far. I'm wondering if it can be fixed with a firmware update but haven't found anything yet. Will post if I find anything.
