When you say everything else on the mesh works ok, does this mean you're running it over WiFi? Wondering if you've tried running an ethernet cable between it and your network switch/router? I've noticed devices connecting over WiFi are generally less reliable and sometimes only one or two devices will experience an issue requiring a power cycle of an AP everyone once in a while.
It actually performed worse when it was hard wired directly to my router, oddly enough. It is now in the attic streaming wirelessly but has full bars and a great signal. An example of a couple of problems is the preview of a channel works great when you are in the fire stick interface, but when you select the channel it streams for two or three seconds and then freezes. Other times it will just not connect at all (guide will see what's on but no channels will load). Normally a reboot fixes it, but it's a hassle to have to do all the time.

When it works, it's amazing. But like this ^ guy said, that's about 1/2 the time, at best.
Just be aware of what you're in for.
Interesting, I hope that's not normal or they probably wouldn't be selling them for long. I'll keep this in mind though, have you tried getting a replacement through warranty to see if you just have a defective unit? Did it ever function correctly or been like this since day 1 or 3?

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to hear in case I start experiencing the same thing, can send it back. How long ago did you purchase it and is the 4th one ok now? Sometimes hardware revisions can make a difference if they had a problematic production run...

Now every 2-3 days I'm unpairing the recast and re-pairing it to see recorded shows and get deletes to take from that day. Knowing what I know now, I'd look for another option.
Sadly, the last software update made the thing even more unstable, and the new UI is god awful.
If I was smarter I'd have gotten a refund while I was able, but I'll suffer through until I find something better and more reliable, since I'm not the kind to throw away good money already spent.

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback. If I have any of these issues within the return window I will surely get a refund and try something like Tablo or AirTV Anywhere.
Yes but if you are looking for OTA DVR situation you really should try it out first. I stayed away for along time then finally bought last year and for the most part it's doing just fine ( hardwired not wireless , limited time on wireless and noticed some freezing right next to Router/mesh running great hardwired )

For recording and DVR functionality a NAS with plenty of storage is recommended but there are other cheaper and easier options. Link below:
