Finally got all 111 shows transferred from my 2 old Series 3's. About 2 weeks ago. Disconnected last of the old Series 3 equipment on Friday and today the HDMI port of my Roamio Plus went to 'No-Signal' on the TV or sporadically shows a broken-up picture and scratchy-sound. Isolated problem to the Roamio HDMI port.. Thankfully the 3 Mini's and Roamio's composite output are still working.
The good news is a new box is on the way, I chose the option to pay the $$$ for a new Roamio, with cost refunded after they get the old one back. No shipping charges and support was very helpful.
The bad news is I'm downloading the 111 shows to my PC and will have to do a manual 1 at a time transfer back to the new box, an hour of loading up the To-Do list and about 50 or so hours of transfer. Not to mention re-pairing and guided setup again.. ugg
This really woke me up to the fear of literally putting all your eggs in one box. If this box drops a HD or goes bad after warranty we would loose all 4 TV's/streaming till I could figure out a solution. IMO once someone can come up with a REAL alternative solution to hardware and hard drive recording (AKA: a virtual cloud based DVR) I'd probably give it some serious thought...Comcast X1 is not there yet, but they are talking about a copy of your DVR recordings available in the cloud with ability to stream anywhere.
