Weird problem which affects direct access to channels.

[sceptic]

Hi all,

I've experienced a weird issue on my HDR-T2 twice now the most recent of which was last night. I'm not sure what is the initial trigger is at this stage but the effect I see is that I can no longer directly jump to channels directly whilst watching live TV. Entering any of the channel numbers (1-9,0) lights up the PVR light on the remote but the numbers are not displayed on the screen. Channel up/down continues to work ok and I can still enter a channel number when the i-plate is displayed, just not directly whilst watching live TV. The first time it occurred it seemed to magically resolve itself after a couple of hours. Last night I had to reboot the box in order to resolve it. Any ideas what could be going on?

This rings a bell, searching....

It sounds a bit like this problem HERE, Caused by re-entering the current channel number again

That is what I was thinking of.

Thanks. It is something like that but obviously different. If I happens a few more times then hopefully I'll be able to discover the cause...
