I had that issue, or a similar one. I solved it by having my Harmony send a stop signal as part of power off. No more crashes!

I'm on day 3 of my HDHomerun Prime and cable card setup. Basic install was pretty easy and everything was up and running according to plan quickly. I'm still dealing with a few issues though. Maybe someone can help as Google hasn't...
