My Recast is in the attic. Sometimes the "gumming up" isn't something that can be resolved from my fire cube, and it seems to happen periodically.
So I have a smarthome-controllable plug up there and a simple routine that automatically powers off the Recast in the wee hours of the morning every N days or so (3 maybe?), waits a minute, then turns the power back on. I've been happier with the Recast --- or at least less unhappy --- since I set that up.
I'm confident that at some point I'll replace the Recast; it's never felt really finished, nor do I guess that it's something that Amazon believes in or is working on. But for now, it will do.
We have had our recast for 10 months and I only recall resetting it once.
Maybe if I had it in a hard to reset position, I would have to do it more, but mine is just on a shelf under the TV. My wife records her soaps 5 days a week and an occasional other program, we are pretty happy with it. And, they didn't come out with a new model as soon as I bought mine!
