A few months ago my Replay started to Lose it's Identity. It would be in the original Mode where you would have to Set-up the Provider, Zipcode, and search for the home network. and just as all the info is entered and go to search for my home network, it would re-boot.
I even tried to set it up via modem then change to ethernet and it would sometimes work, and sometimes reboot again.
I thought it may be my wife's MacBook on the network that was interfering because I could almost never get it to work when she is home with it.

I am using a New Netgear router.

Very frustrating because when it is not in the reboot cycle, it doesnt have any channel guide and I get a bunch of 1 minute show starts.

You have several different types of Replay, so it might help the guys that know about this stuff if you mention which unit is having the problem.

I would check out this thread. At first it sounded to me like you may have a hard drive going bad. But, then I thought maybe you are having reboots due to running Winamp on some wireless device...

The 1 minute shows are usually due to a problem with tuning the channels. If you don't have any channel guide, then that may be part of the problem. I would use 2-4-3-Zones to clear channel guide TWICE and then perform a net connect, and see if that works any better...

I hope that the reboots are due to you running Winamp on some wireless device, otherwise I would suspect the hard drive in the unit...

I dont think its a hard drive issue because if Ikeep it disconnected from my router, it doesnt reboot. As soon,as i plug into the router, it reboots. ( but not always). Its hard to pinpoint the different conditions.
I tried setting up a dedicated ip address for the replay, but same problem.
Ive also tried unplugging the unit for a while, too.

Could it be the winamp on my phone? I have an android thunderbolt. I always turn on WiFi when at home. Ill try and keep the phone off the network and try. Wish me luck

Yes it was a long time.
Thank you to all who made suggestions. So far it hasn't rebooted at all since I took the WinAmp off the phone. That sucks, I like WinAmp.

Thanks again to all..
