I've had stuff like this happen before on my HD box, and my old S1 box. Tivo is a computer, and behaves as such at times. It hasn't been a problem, just an occasional annoyance. I do find that a reboot when it behaves as such helps. If you can get it to reboot from the menu, I prefer that to unplugging it, but I've had it happen where nothing responded, so pulling the plug was the only option.
