Parental Control bug?

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

I enabled the Parental Control on the Replay 5504 unit. I changed to a
"blocked" program, it appears for a split second and then you get the
"blocked" screen as normal. However, the rating indicator kept flipping
back and forth between "NR" and a "VSL" rating. Then I couldn't control the
remote anymore to change channels, enter a code, or anything else. Is this
a known problem? I did manage to press EXIT several times and finally it
got me out of there, but once I went back to that channel again it would go
crazy again. It appears the flipping between ratings NR and VSL caused the
Replay to not accept any further remote control.

i guess you have to find that channel that is sending bad v chip data.
Looks like the Replay chokes on the bad data. No error control in the
Replay!
in the old computer days we used to say GIGO... Garbage In - Garbage out
