Have had a TivoHD since 2007 - saw the ads and got a new Roamio last Weds (Best Buy) ... I added to my existing account and put it in the HT Friday morning - worked great no complaints. We've got FIOS with a cable card here in the DC area. Tuesday night it was acting funny due to the TIVO HQ problems - couldn't connect to Tivo Home or some such. I read here that that was a known problem, so we just watched some prerecorded shows and that worked fine.
Came home from work this afternoon and noticed it was recording at 4:20PM. I don't record anything at that hour, so I turned on the TV and HT receiver and saw it was recording ch 1509 TELESALV - some kind of Spanish language channel that I apparently don't receive in my FIOS package anyway (!) ... flipped Live TV and the next tuner was on 1511 XHAW - apparently another spanish language channel I don't subscribe to. The other 2 tuners were on the local NBC and the local CBS HD channels, which is where I usually leave them.
I could not change channels on the 2 "locked" tuners - tho since I am new to the Roamio - maybe it was stuck on that channel because it was recording - tho of course recording a blank channel means there is no real recording to save.
Anyway, I force it to restart and the problem was gone - for maybe 90 minutes ... then I saw it was recording again. Checked the Season pass manager and there is nothing in there like this.
Went into Customer Svc chat at tivo.com and the CSR had me cycle power - and right now, its not recording. Headed to bed soon - guess I'll know in the AM if its fixed or if I have to swap the box ... its under 30 days so it can be returned for a refund - but I did get it for a good price!
