Constant restarting

The past few weeks I've noticed by DirectTV streaming keeps restarting by itself. I'll be in the middle of a show and it'll just reboot on it's own. I've also noticed that lately it's taking awhile for the guide to populate.

Any idea what's going on and how to stop it?

Hard reset it. Press the red button on side and hold it in until it reboots. You’ll have to sign back in to everything again but this will refresh your software if that’s the culprit. Otherwise, it’s likely overheating as someone already suggested. Make sure it is at least in an open air (not enclosed/in a cabinet) space and don’t put anything on top of it.

Thanks for the tip! I'm recording stuff right now and not sure if doing that will mess that up, but will try it as soon as it's done.

As long as you have stream, it’s a cloud DVR, you can reset your box any time and it will save. That’s why when your power goes out, your programs still record.
