 '''ReplayTV Shutdown FAQ'''

-DNNA says the units will be able to "Manually Record" tv shows after the 7/31 shutdown. ReplayTV support has told some community members that all servers will be shut down on 7/31, preventing setting the system clock. In this case, "Manual Record" probably just means pressing the "Record" button to record for a period of time, not a manually scheduled recording.
+Current answer, *NOTHING*. :)
 If you wish to continue full functionality of your Replay you can use WiRNS to keep your ReplayTV alive.  In addition, a new service is being developed so you don't need a local WiRNS server.  Keep an eye out for more info.
