As someone stated previously, check the power cable.  I had the exact
same issue this past week and thought I was in for a new HDHR3 (which
made me sad because I liked having the IR receiver in the HDHR).  On a
whim I noticed my Roku has the same 5VDC power as the HDHR.  I swapped
them and the HDHR started performing great.  No issues whatsoever.
Now I'm in the market for a new 5V adapter...
