Playing to ones strengths

A few years ago, when middle sister moved out of home, middle sister wanted a PVR to replace her VCR. Her needs were simple - needed a USB port, decent sized hard drive, needed to be able to watch 1 channel and record 2 others and have a time-shift feature. I found her a box that was near perfect and highly recommended on forums. She bought it and has been happy with it for 4 or so years.

In the last couple of months, playbacks have been skipping for her. One of her friends recommended ditching the PVR and buying a TV with the PVR functionality included. I suggested to her that there are cheaper and better solutions, namely getting me to fix it. I've been reading a fair bit about the units and have a 4-pronged plan of attack to fix it.

I don't know if I can fix it or not, but certainly want to give it a try. When it comes to research and problem solving, I am in my element.
