A few nights ago, watching any channel would result in a blue screen coming up saying that "Oops something went wrong", with an Error 101.
After rebooting things a few times, and trying both WiFi and Ethernet, the issue was still not resolved. I called the number on the screen, and the tech I reached had me reboot things again. She hinted she was doing something at her end, but was quite vague. After the third sequence of rebooting the modem, and the PVR, it started working. She couldn't give me a good explanation just "maybe there was an update or a power outage recently". (We also had a 7 second delay on the phone line, which she acknowledged was her end, and made communication very difficult).
I don't know if there's been a software update on the PVR, but there certainly has not been a power outage. My Internet is 1Gb/s, and it runs very well, testing at a consistent 936Mb/s down, and about 700Mb/s up, on a wired connection. I should also note that watching Fibe on my other devices, including Fire TV on the same TV works just fine. It's just the PVR.
The tech didn't really understand what it meant to be hard-wired with Ethernet. She had me try with WiFi also (same issue). She had to put me on hold to ask someone about how to deal with me being hard-wired, so I'm not confident she fully understood, and maybe didn't actually do anything at her end.
The real issue now is that it wasn't a one-time issue. It just it did it again today. Any channel would work for about 5 seconds before the blue screen would come up. Rebooting the PVR did not solve it. Although the Internet was running just fine, (as was Fibe on my other devices), I rebooted the modem, then the PVR again. It's working again now - it's been 15 minutes without failing, but I'm not sure for how long it will last before it happens again.
Again, my Internet connectivity is rock solid and fast. Fibe works well on apps, and on Fire TV. It's just when using the PVR.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Was there a recent update that may be buggy?

Hello all,
I've been having the following issue for a while now and the only solution is to reboot the modem. I was wondering what the root cause might be.
I have a 1.5 Gbps connection on HH4000, a wired TV receiver and a wireless TV receiver and a few months a go I bought a USB-C 2.5 Gbps card for my laptop so I can take full advantage of the high speed ethernet port on the modem. The internet works great and I am getting at least 1.8 Gbps download speeds on the laptop but whenever I leave the laptop on and connected overnight, the next day my TV receivers can't sync resulting in the 101 error and I have to restart the modem.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve it? Other connections on the modem do not cause this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi there @PrometheusOf
Welcome to the Bell community 🙂
Can you clarify the model of TV receivers you are using?
You mentioned that this seems to happen when you leave the laptop on and connected to Wi-Fi overnight. Could you test a bit further and connect the laptop via Ethernet to see if it still happens?
Looking forward to your reply.

The TV receivers are the wireless 2502 and the wired 4K 5662W.
The problem appears when I have the laptop connected with Ethernet not wifi. I am using a usbc 2,5 Gbps network adapter and connected to the high speed port on the HH 4000 with 30ft cat 6 cable.
Hope this helps.
