I've been a long time ReplayTV user and still have 3 active 5040s (upgraded). I figure it won't be long till I have converted everything to my new HTPC and the Replays will be gone. But ... I have an issue now which I have never had in all my Replay years. I can't seem to see and watch shows that are recorded on another one of my Replays in the same house and on the same LAN. By the way, I am using WIRNS and it finds them all and updates the guide regularly as scheduled. But I also can't watch any of the shows from WIRNS just like the situation with the Replays. The problem exists from any of the 3 Replays and well as the PC running WIRNS. The fix is to reboot them. For instance if I am in the bedroom and want to watch stuff on the living room replay, I go to replay guide and move over to the living room replay. I can see the shows (but it is usually out of date and only has the shows that were there the last time I rebooted), but when I select the show it says "unable to contact replay...". I've tried 243 zones and find other replays. It says they are there but does not find any new replays, and I still can't connect to them. The same situation happens from any of the 3 replays and is fixed if I reboot. But it only lasts maybe 24 hours if I am lucky. The only thing that has changed recently is I bought and installed a new router. It is a Buffalo WZR-600DHP-US with their stock software. I've been using Buffalo routers for over 10 years with success and this is my 3rd router with them. Never had a problem with any of them, only changed as I needed to upgrade my technology. I changed this time as I wanted to have a gigabit router to give me better performance with my HTPC.
I've checked all obvious settings on the router and can't see anything out of the ordinary.
Does anyone have a clue what I might try?
I appreciate any help that might be offered. I am a pretty good PC guy but don't claim to be a network expert.
