DTV cancellation would not do it, you'd just get a lot of "Call 711"
(or similar) messages instead of the shows you expected.

I don't know about the disk full problem, I always transfer shows to a
PC or delete them.

My 5040 was stuck in the same place..("Please Wait" )
Do you have a network cable connected to it?
If you DO, disconnect the net cable from the replay and
re-boot. that fixed mine.
