wklie: Does this issue show up in particular areas only? Or all MTV3600TD users are experiencing the same symptom?
JefWright: I'm in Auckland (north shore) and I'm running V3.18 firmware, experiencing frequent "system is restarting" on power up from standby. I disabled standby. That change seemed to create random reboot problems that were remedied by a factory reset. After the factory reset my standby was still disabled so I left it like that.
MTV 3600 stable for a week after factory reset with standby disabled.
Re-enabled standby yesterday and encountered "system is restarting" on restore from standby today. Disabling standby again.
Wklie: I'm guessing that the principals are unlikely to want to "invest" any engineering effort into fixing a non-fatal flaw in an obsolete set top box. Is this your understanding?
Rustyviewer posted (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=83&topicid=150415) that they didn't have this problem any more after they rolled back to version 3.17. Do you think this might be worth more investigation?
MTV have made a variety of 3.19 versions but I think they were intended to overcome reception problems. Do you concur?

Back on page 2 of this thread you'll see I tried 3.17 on my 3600 and it didn't fix the problem, so 3.17 still has the issue for some people.
I hope that they do fix this problem and fast. This is my second recorder so far. I had one of the Zinwell boxes that became useless after Freeview channel changes. I'm really at a loss to explain how Freeview can certify a product and then it no longer works properly, twice.

This firmware fixes EPG booking problems in Nelson area:

wklie: I've not been able to reproduce this symptom with the signal generator.
Unless someone can provide one or more 5-10 minute raw TS mux recording (not a Magic TV recording) that causes this reboot, together with a procedure for reproducing it using those mux, I'm afraid I've already tried everything (in the early 3.19 beta and the recent 3.18a/b) which I could think of that might be related.

For me, the auto-reboot seems to occur on the first power on of the day and ok thereafter. Is there something special about getting the EPG for the new 8th day, or if there are changes in the schedule for other days?
