Jose Nieves and I have been able to reproduce a bug where if the NOAAPort
broadcast goes down for a significant amount of time (say 30 minutes), the
Novra S-300 locks up and needs a hard reboot (unplug) to get it working in
DVB-S2 mode. I have not tried to check this with the unit in DVB-S
receive mode. More specifically, if you tune the receiver to a
non-functioning frequency while in DVB-S2 mode, the S-300 will eventually
lock up.

Just an FYI.
