Another random reboot today.
Powered on from standby, 10 seconds later box rebooted by itself. After reboot would only respond to mute & volume up/down nothing else.

Had to turn off power and back on to get working properly.

I cannot really help with stopping this happening, but I will add a +1 to it happening on my unit (a 2Tb model) too. It seems random - goes for months without happening but then can occur a couple of times within a day.

The unit also seems to randomly delete recordings - they clearly are in the list, then a day or two later you notice they are gone.

I consider the device only just about fit for the job. If there were other Freeview Play PVRs with three tuners out there with a better UI and more reliable software I would get one in a heartbeat. The list of "Apps" is hardly worth it (my Smart TV has a better list, as does Amazon Fire stick and NowTV device), so a simple PVR with three tuners would be do if it had a good, reliable UI.
