I have an ATSC TV tuner that gets and stays confused when the signals
get noisy and (maybe) writes bad data to memory (memory leaks?). I have
to leave the tuner unplugged for about a couple of hours or more before
the memory voltage will drain enough to start fresh. I seem to recall
that some point, communication was getting through to the 7i43's, but
not all. Maybe they got into a similar state. Is there a way to get the
7i43's to do a global reset?

A similar issue comes to mind. Sometimes a hard drive will get a bad MBR
which can not be erased or rebuilt. I have had to dd write FF's to the
first few sectors to get the drive to not use the bad MBR, so that I can
reformat the drive. I haven't had to do this for quite a few years, so
my recollection might be wrong.
