I hate to tell ya, but Cyberhome is out of business.
Throw the piece of crap away and get a new unit. Life is too short to
suffer from crap equipment.

Cyberhome is gone, because they didn't pay their bills. And that player
wasn't even as good as their cheapo model. Time to dump it and get an
Oppo 970. You won't believe what you've been missing.

What are some of the advanced features of that unit?
I want at least dual TV tuners so I can record two programs at the
same time, with the ability to add more TV channels if I want by
buying inexpensive plugin tuner cards. I want a removable hard disk
drive of my specification (eg, WD SATA) so I can swap disks in and
out. I also want a removable DVD burner of my specification (eg, NEC
3550). I want DivX and XviD, USB 2.0. I want advanced controls like 30
sec skip forward and 10 second skip backwards, sortable tables for the
timer and the hard disk directory. I want wireless network capability
with full TCP/IP so I can connect to my LAN. I want a silent cooling
fan that really works to keep the unit cool enough that the internals
will not be damaged by excess heat. I want a 3 year warranty with
shipping paid both ways with thousands of service centers nationwide
so the service is reasonably quick. I want a lot more than that -
things I can get if I build my own PVR. Or maybe some day Dell
Computer will build it for me.
Does the 970 come with all that and more? If not, then I guess I will
just have to miss it.

It's easy to find the Fs/Bs of the OPPO and that, while a
superior player, it is not a recorder.

Neither is the Cyberhome the OP asked about.
I just figured Bob went off his meds there for a bit.

I hear you. I wanted to do the same but my two DVD units burned out at
the same time so I had to toss them and buy two new units.
The good news is that these newest units work a lot better than the
older ones, so you are in for a new experience. Buy at the low end but
only after doing your homework and studying the forums like CDFreaks
and VideoHelp for their comments. Then consider an extended warranty
if it makes sense.
