On 10/16/2010 3:06 PM root spake thus:

A friend who subscribes to Charter's cable TV service
tells me Charter has programmed his cable box to
halt after something like 6 hours and display a
screen which says "press any key to resume viewing".

This means that he is unable to pre-program an overnight
recording event. Charter is unwilling or unable to tell
him how he can change the box back to its original
mode.

Any suggestions?

Sure; get a new cable provider.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
