My RDR HXD870 updates about 4 x per day which is normally fine but now it locks in to update which completely freezes the machine . When this happens the only way to release it is to hold in the power button for 7secs. I have tried a hard reset and a firmware update...both failed to cure it. Any ideas anyone please.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Can't thank you enough pewrigh38! Now have our tv back - thank you for posting such clear, easy instructions.

Same problem despite retuning etc still no picture. Happenned Friday 19th discovered fault at 2200 hours.Clearly something Sony has done we are in Somerset.Will it operate normally once Sony have fixed it.
RDR-HXD790 Have got the same problem, but have unlocked fron 'update' as per pewrigh38 solution - many thanks for that. I can now watch my recorded stuff and will await Sony's solution to the EPG fault. I wont hold my breath for a quick fix!!
Thanks for the France tip, all works as you said. Any Idea how Sony are going to let everyone know what their solution is - when they have one of course.
We are getting same problem as pebble1234 with our HXD870 - channels tune in but picture is blank and no GUIDE info. This seems to have happened overnight (19-20/7/13). The first I noticed was a 'timer canceled' message when it failed to detect one of the kids series recordings.
Tried updating firmware to v1.70 but this sat at Download-5 till I powered off. Firmware *seems* to have installed but I am still having no joy with the channels. I tried changing the location to France as suggested but it forgot the channels when I powered off - am I doing this right? Can someone give me a step by step guide?
I would be really cross if I had to buy a new box, after spending most of the day trying to sort this, while the kids run around bonkers. I would certainly think twice about getting a Sony!
