Well I had my first lock up with my 3-week old 5040. I was watching a recorded show while another live show was recording. I'm not sure if it matters, but at one point I paused the recorded show playback to view some photos that I had uploaded to the unit. A while after resuming the playback of the recorded show there was about 1/2 second of loud audio static followed by a solid magenta/purple screen. None of the buttons on the remote did anything. I had to reboot the unit by holding down the power button on the front of the unit. I then got the "Please wait..." message & a little while longer it was up and running again. I was able to continue watching the recorded show without any further problems.
Anyone else had anything similar happen? I was planning on cracking open the unit this weekend to upgrade the hard drive but now I'm not sure that I should be voiding the warranty if something might be wrong with the unit.
