The same yet not..

I have or had a problem not unlike what you are talking about though it may be a tad different.

I was experiencing errattic times with my PVR1000 and was told or heard someplace that one way to fix such a situation was to reflash the factory bin onto the unit then replace that one with the more current 'bin'. Oh let the good times role.

Upon completing the flash of the 'factory bin' I found that I no longer had available the USB routnie and thus was now unable to flash anything back onto this might as well be dead PVR1000. I set out to find a fix. I posted message after message on forum after forum. I was bombed with every way to fix my problem. After trying each and everyone of them to no avail, I discovered only one resolution and that was to go dirrectly to Sonicview's technical department for assistace.

Now, the good times rolled over me. After numberous attempts to contact Sonicview I gave into the fact as *****en ((can I say that?)(edit if you must)) a unit as the Sonicview is, the company must have gone belly up because all my attempts to contact then ended up shortfall.

My last attempt was a phone call to the technical department just before Christmas. All of my other communications had been email. I finally made conntact with the tech department.. Yes the comany is having problems finding good people to fill their technical pssitions, oh well . Come to find out that I/we are not the only ones having this problem with the PVR1000. The technician told me that after receiving my email he took one of the units they had there and found he couldn't get any of these fixes to work either. I am presntly in negotiations for a replacement. Warranty is two years, hassle free from time of purchase. Hope this helps and not too many of you fell asleep from boredom.
