Does tv or pvr time-out after a couple of hours on same station ?

[Irishgranny]

Every few days, when catching up on recordings, my show stops and I get the Message "loss of signal"  I then have to go through the reset process to continue my show.  Does the PVR have a time-out mode ???

If you do not adjust the PVR for about 4 hours it shuts off, and no signal is delivered to your TV. It should not do so if you select a new show, skip commercials, or adjust the volume.

Can you add a bit more info to your description?

Thought this might be a time-out problem, but tonight..was watching a live hockey broadcast and switching back & forth to a recorded program.....screen goes blank and says :loss of signal"  Other boxes working fine..just my main PVR one causing problems.....do I need a new one ????

Seems like it is time to give Customer Service a call, and see if they can troubleshoot, and if necessary, replace the PVR.

The 'Loss of Signal' message should be from the TV if the PVR turns itself off.

You\re right..message was on TV screen.  Will give Customer Service a call.....when I have an hour to spare waiting for them to take me off "Hold"  Thanks for advice.
