Hi Bill and Chris, This may be useless information, but I'll throw it in just in case. I have Sprint and I've observed this same failure when watching Sprint TV. It seems to occur after a certain period of time for me, usually after about 30 minutes or so, but I'll get the red LED you mention, the screen goes black, the Sprint logo comes up, then the hour glass on a white screen, it verifies my security software and then I can use my menu. A Sprint tech at one of the stores told me this was due to a memory leak, but perhaps heavy network load could cause it as well. Just something else to consider.
