I purchased This HDD recorder in 2013 (10 years ago) at our home.

Since the day before yesterday, I have been experiencing a strange phenomenon where it stops (black screen) for about 2 seconds every 30 seconds.

Since this occurs in the recording screen and tuner mode, I decided it is not an HDD error.

I have checked all HDMI cables, power supply, NTSC, everything is fine; and I even tried shutting down the NAS set up next to it, but the symptoms are not improving.

I thought, 'This is indeed a lifetime.

However, it is a pity.

This is because I had already purchased a new replacement remote control, as this product was discontinued and no remote control was available.

'Every 30 seconds or so, it stops (black screen) for about 2 seconds.'

The failure to do so is quite subtle,

"Offensive, but not so offensive that I lose track of the program."

This is the very edge of the phase.

I even watched an NHK historical drama in that mode.

And I was able to supplement my knowledge of Hamas and Israel with special programs.

Well, I still thought this was a bad idea, so I started looking for a replacement, but very few HDD recorder products are on the market.

In addition, the price is high.

I was troubled by this.

The Ebata family allocates two tuners to an external HDD and two to an HDD recorder, with the former used primarily by the wife and me.

The recorded programs are also completely segregated.

'Drama, Variety, Song Shows' v.s. 'Islam, Terrorism, Nazis, History, Science'.

'This is not a problem of price,' I considered purchasing a new model.

However, this failure was entirely fixed when I tried running the system today.

It is a resurgence as if it has forgotten the two-day battle with me.

I have been struggling with machines for a long time, so I know them well, but machines can "self-heal" in a whimsical way.

Most of the time, however, this is an illusion.

I think they will be utterly silent shortly, but I will let it work until then.
