You have to make sure the box is on before you hit Power, Select, Menu.

The 330 series. 2 HDMI inputs, component, etc.

Had it hooked up to a standard box initially, everything was fine. Ordered an HD box through verizon on Monday and then that night remembered that it would not communicate with my multi-room HD DVR I already had in the family room/den.

So Tuesday morning I called verizon and was on the phone with them for various transfers for about 3 1/2 hours total. Nobody could terminate the original order, some thought it had shipped others thought it was just waiting to ship and could be cancelled, managers were involved, etc. A total nightmare, finally I was delivered to cancellation of services as the thought was I could cancel the HD box and then order another HD DVR for the bedroom sammy.

The cancellation department said the order had been shipped so there was no way to cancel and I would just have to send it back and order an HDDVR if that is what I wanted to do.

So I go home yesterday around 5:30 and there is a box by my trashcan, lo and behold it's the HD receiver.

I decide to go with it for now and unbox it and set it up with the TV, HDMI connect. Authorization code on a form but no directions on how to set it up on the internet so again back on the phone with Verizon. Friendly guy at verizon does all the box tweaking from remote and says that even if I had the website I could not set it up online because the HD box was still being shown as - In Delivery -. I assured him that I was standing right in front of it and that is had been delivered. He said great,this will take 15-20 minutes to authorize, so no real reason to wait so I said thanks and we hung up. I then watched the display to all sorts of hijinx (as is typical) and took my daughter to her softball game. 3 hours later I come home and go upstairs and see the clock on (always a good sign) and go do other things, I come back an hour later and turn on the TV.

Currently Unavailable. But I have the guide.

I should also mention that I came here yesterday and read this thread and thought oh ho, I have a sammy and I just ordered an HD box. So I had that in the back of my mind and also brought my laptop upstairs with this thread open and tried all the things suggested.

I even hooked it up with just the cable feed with no luck.

So again, another call to Verizon. Another friendly guy. He said the box was set up but not initialized. So he went about redoing that. He estimated 7-13 minutes and after he hit the box I had 1-49 immediately, all the digital took the rest of the 13 minutes to come on board.

While we waited I chatted with him about Samsung and issues with HD boxes. He said he had not had one incident he had not solved and that he did not consider it an issue. His name was Micheal Taggert I believe and did his job fantastically. After 15 minutes I had all my channels and life was good. HD looked spectacular and the only thing wrong was 480 content no filling the screen like I like.

Quick jump into the video menu and 480 set to stretch and everything is great.

I think I would prefer if the TV did the stretching like it does on my Sony downstairs (480 just seems to look a little better on the Sony), but I don't see how to set that up with the Samsung. The plus with the HD box doing it is I get no pause between HD and SD content like I get when the Sony takes over for a second to set resolution.

So that is how my Currently Unavailable was solved.

Now it's just down to whether it pops up again in the future.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20446413 Wed, 07 May 2008 15:07:41 EDT Re: FiOS VOD and HD Samsung HDMI Issue.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20426164 anon : Here is how I'm dealing with the hdcp errors. 1st when i lose my signal, I unplug my box from power for 1 minute. then I plug the box back in when it cycles back up. i turn my tv 1st, wait a second or 2 then turn your stb power on..and the picture is back....i also found that upgrading your hdmi cable spec to 1.3a or higher helps to minimize the issue. The stb wants to authenticate with the tv, so the tv has to be on 1st .... you will notice after you turn the stb power, a small flash of the read out will occur. this is the stb searching for reception of the tv. now this doesn't completely solve the issue but it makes the issue livable. i say once every 2.5 months i lose my signal, when it used to be once a week..it also help to buy component cables and hook them up in case you lose signal in the middle of a good movie. you can just switch the source quickly...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20426164 Sat, 03 May 2008 14:12:05 EDT Re: FiOS VOD and HD Samsung HDMI Issue.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20421554 srickard : I have a Samsung HLT6187SAX TV and the FIOS HD DVR (Motorola).

I only tested it for a few minutes and it worked fine both SD and HD channels.

After mounting the TV every single channel SD or HD gives me a "currently unavailable" with a black background. All HDMI cables I have, have been tested with my DVD player and work fine which leads me to believe there is an issue with the STB.

I was on the phone with Verizon for a few hours trying to resolve it and they sent several packages to the box to no avail. I am awaiting a tech this week to have the HD DVR swapped, we'll see what happens.

I tried all the troubleshooting on this forum and I was unsuccessful in getting a picture. Also I thought I may add that I do get picture from anything that I have recorded either in SD or HD. I will speak with tech about this week and see if there is fix yet an post results.

I recently purchased a Samsung LNT 4665F LCD in December. If I set the the picture mode on the TV to Just Scan (using HDMI) I see the infamous green line. Changing the mode on the TV to 16x9 (which will induce some slight overscan) solves the problem entirely with my set. The Samsung's picture I am getting with Verizon here in Maryland is great whether viewing HD or SD channels.

For me, his is an acceptable solution until Verizon fixes the new IMG. One note: The Motorola HD DVR Box must be set to its default settings when using the HDMI port, i.e., SD 480I or SD 480P must be set to off as previously discussed in this thread. If not, the Samsung cannot sync with the Motorola box using its HDMI 1.3 input for SD channels.

Setting the FIOS Box so that SD is off will cause the Verizon box to do the upscaling for SD (the Samsung will report all channels as 1080I) and the Samsung will then display SD channels with letter boxes which preserves their original aspect ratios which is what I prefer to view. Also, the Motorola box output of 720P / 1080I HD signals will be upscaled by the Samsung TV under HDMI to take advantage of its native 1080P.

A number of people with other brands have been having trouble with Verizon FiOS since the latest IMG update. Vizio, Hitachi, Pioneer, Panasonic, and yes, even Sony. The common theme is 1080p flatpanel, not projection.

I have the green line bug (green vertical line on the right) and image tearing on the left. It started as soon as the new IMG was installed. I use HDMI and it happens when I have the STB set to 1080i. It goes away when I set the STB to 720p.

Also, whenever I adjust the STB resolution, the STB resets the resolution for standard def to 480i. Well, my Samsung LNT 4661 doesn't support 480i and a message comes up "non supported mode." I can see all the HD channels fine but the SD channels do not come in. To fix, you have to do what NJBOB said, hit "power" "select" and "menu" buttons (when I do it I don't have to hit them all at the same time, just in that order). You then select (using the directional buttons on the STB, not the remote) the resolution for 480 from "480i" to "off".

Other than that advice, I don't think NJBOB knows what he is talking about.

This isn't even a Verizon problem. It's a Motorola/Samsung problem. period. There are lots of little quirks that make it work for a while, like resetting boxes. I found that just turning the tv on first, waiting 30 seconds then the stb make it work most times for me, and this was BEFORE the new IMG. Of course you can like some people said downgrade the signal to 720, but why. You got that big tv for a reason didn't you? There is just something about the handshake at that resolution the TV won't accept it unless it's been powered on for a few seconds. Hence the firmware fix FROM Samsung. it does fix it, you plug it into the stb and push the button and pop problem goes away.

When you say "1080", are you referring to 1080'p' or 1080'i'? To me, it sounds like you're talking about 1080p. If so, you're way off base. If not, then carry on, good sir.

I had a Samsung recommended a tech replace the mainboard. i had the mainboard replaced and got the tv back and the picture was way to dark, so i called Samsung again they said the tech didn't make the proper adjustments. I had the tech take my tv again to make the adjustment, i went down to the shop to make sure it was right and it looked good. I got it home and used it for another 3 months till 3 days ago i noticed flickering in the picture, tried all 3 hdmi inputs same thing. to verify it was not my set top box i moved it to my 32 Samsung hdtv in my den and no problems. I switched the source to s-video and component and they both worked fine. so i called Samsung they said have a tech look at it again...i turned the tv on yesterday and hdmi was fine again, weird, but turned it on again today now it says "not a supported mode". called Samsung again all they can do is have a tech look at it, totally ridiculous, my question to Samsung was, can this hdmi problem be corrected after the mainboard has already been replaced?...and how can i trust this tv to hook a play station 3 up via hdmi..

I was determined to solve this hdmi problem, i decided to test a few things. since i was stuck with component i decided to see if i could get digital optical sound . I'm missing that great hdmi sound. i hooked the optical cable to my tv and then to my set top box and what do you know no sound... i called verizon fios to see if there was some set top setting i was missing, there was none its suppose to work as soon as you plug it in. i put the stereo cables back to get my sound back... while i was in the set top box menu i decided to restore the set top box to its default settings to see if i could get my hdmi back and what do you know.. it came back...i can only deduct that the tv must have some incompatibility with the set top box. i also noticed in my tv menu there is a setting for software updates via usb connection.. if i have another issue with hdmi i will look into the firmware upgrade.

called verizon again they said a Samsung tv firmware update should solve the problem. i called Samsung again and got a 4k # to have a tv shop upgrade my firmware, got it done and i still get signal drop out , also the picture is now darker then it was before, colors don't jump out anymore my back light is set to 10 also. I'm using component now but, I'm seriously considering getting a new Sony kdl-46xbr5 lcd since those tv's don't show the incompatibility problems...

after going thru all of this it looks like the issue remains...and my mouth is watering for that new Sony with the 120mhz refresh rate, i can get 1 new for $2400 bucks delivered to my door....and the issue disappears forever.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19954890 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 22:52:01 EDT Re: FiOS VOD and HD Samsung HDMI Issue.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19923353 kartracr : Hello (thought everyone would like to know)
I too have the green line issue with the HDMI cable.
After several calls to tech support and several lies and different stories i decided to call my towns cable advisory board.(i live in PA.).The board president was very nice and she told me to send her an email describing all the problems and she would foward it to the verizon people she deals with.The very next day i got a call from verizon telling me the only solutions to the problem were to use component cables or set the screen resolution to 720p.I said i wasn't happy doing that and were they ever going to fix this problem.The woman said she would find out and call me back the next day at 3pm.I didn't have much faith in a call back but the next day at 3 the phone rang it was verizon.The gentleman from verizon said he was one of the people working on the problem along with other issues with the new IMG and the earliest they would have a fix would be early april no sooner.He said they had to work out the bugs and then test the new patch before releasing it.He seemed very sincere and told me he would have billing call me on monday to discuss and options to keep me a customer.

because that was a system software update ,not firmware.It created a compatability issue with STB and your tv .
The Samsung is basically ahead of the curve and looking for the highest signal setting which IS NOT coming from the box until you upgrade your firmware.it will accept the 720 or lower but you are looking for 1080,it's missing the handshake.Hey you want to be happy? use the component connection .I'm set with HDMI

You could also try repeating the steps I mentioned to get to the firmware menu.Heck, call verizon.
I am not in the mood to get into some type of verbal jousting with anyone either,it worked for me and I have no issues with 720,it will work with most if not all of my programs,for the few programs that are in 1080 if indeed they are 1080 so what?

the tech at Best Buy told me they are not transmitting in 1080 yet,
Don't know where this jerk got his information but it is dead wrong. While not all HD programs are 1080i (quite a few are broadcast in 720p) there definitely are programs that are 1080i.

So I repeat, why th f would I want to run the signal into my set at 720p?

It's definetly a Motorola issue and the firmware needs to be upgraded to work with VERIZON FIOS,in fact Motorola doesn't make the 6200 series anymore they are building a new box and it isn't ready.the tech at Best Buy told me they are not transmitting in 1080 yet,I don't know about that but it makes some sense as to why we are all eager to have it and it doesn't work yet.
720 works fine for now and resolves the green line issue,am I disappointed with not being able to use 1080 ,you bet! but as long as the HDMI can make the handshake and give me a good picture in HD I'm fine for now.I believe the stretch option helps as well.you will have to adjust the TV on standard channels so they don't look akimbo,but it's a small price to pay.Most SD channels are in the HD lineup anyway.

If you are getting the green vertical stripe ,that issue can also be resolved by going to the same menu and setting the resolution to "stretch " and 720p on the same screen.
Why would the OP want 720P? :huh: His original post says he has a 1080P set. This is a bug that came in the new IMG (I never had it before the IMG update) and is a VZ firmware issue, not a Motorola problem.

Changing the color space from YCC to RGB eliminates the green line, but causes a section on the left of the screen to be vertically shifted (giving what others in this forum have called a beveled appearance). The only solution work around that actually works is to use component instead of HDMI until VZ fixes their firmware.

robert: I am not happy with this,it's not what I paid for,they said the issue is with samsung
Alastair M: I understand your concern but I see that your TV is HDMI 1.3 version which is new version and hence the firmware should be updtaed. You can check by connecting any of the DVD having HDMI 1.3 version..

I resolved the problem by calling Verizon,but I had to be persistent most of the techs don't know how to fix this but I got THE # 1 on the phone and he was superb.
The issue is a reset on the 6200 STB ,by holding down the power, select and menu buttons(it's tricky!! and you may have to do this a few times ) you will get to the firmware screen it's white and has the firmware settings,use the cursor on the box to go to "restore defaults"
press the right arrow key on the box,it will flicker and power off.
If you are getting the green vertical stripe ,that issue can also be resolved by going to the same menu and setting the resolution to "stretch " and 720p on the same screen.
you select by pressing the right cursor button.than power off, power on you are then setup. Go Giants!

I have had Numerous issues with my FIOS HD DVR STB since its install almost a year ago (Feb 2007).
My Install took more almost 10 hours! They replaced the ONT 3 x's, HD/DVR STB 4 x's, HDMI cables 2 or 3 x's they even tried component cables and it didn't make too much of a difference (they never left me cables either) all within those 10 hours! The only reason they stopped was because it was getting late and they could not figure out why the picture looked so bad. Besides, the techs needed to go home and finally eat dinner. Yes TECHS (Plural), they had about 4-5 people at my house! The later it got the more techs arrived. The other techs in the area completed there intalls and wanted to lend a hand to my installer. All the guys were Very nice and all tried to give ideas to help out!!

It was late and the assigned installer called it quits for the night. He called dispatch to reschedule me to complete the install so they could provide a clear, quality picture. He was to come back by 10 am the next day but that NEVER happened and i never got an answer as to why they never came back to complete the install.

I finally called and complained about a month later. They sent a "Specialist" who walked into my house, never turned on the TV and said. I cant fix the problem because its the best you will get with your SAMSUNG TV. I told him my TV was only 3 Months old and worked FLAWLESS with Comcast HD. He told me Fios uses a better Signal then Comcast and cant compare the 2, it would be like comparing an Apple to a Potato and said nothing more he can do and left! He at my house for no more the 5 minutes!!!!

So i was left with many unresolved issues, words that are shadowed, every image has a fuzzy line around it, small pixilations on the screen as the techs described it and many more. This is just a SMALL portion of my many issues with Verizon Fios not to mention my 2 separate no call no shows on the initial install. I lost 2 days of pay and never reimbursed. All this just to find out that my $1100.00 Samsung LCD HDTV is not compatible with Verizon Fios..

Another bug is that there is a problem using HDMI with the color space set to YCC. Primary problem is for a green stripe showing, but who knows what's affected. Change it to RGB and see if that helps with any of your problems.

The color space is in the advanced HDMI settings.
I have yet another HDMI issue since the new IMG was forced installed. On the left side of the screen about 1" or 1.5" wide (52" LCD) the whole video is shifted vertically. This was not there prior to the new IMG and does not show if I switch to component (but HDMI looks sharper). And yes I do have the green line if I switch the color space to YCC which did not happen before the new IMG.

Have posted this to the direct forum with no response yet.

EDIT Missed that topic was Samsung, guess I'm OT - mine is a Sharp. Didn't mean to hijack thread.

Work-around is to go into the setup menu and change the 4:3 override to OFF. Do this everytime you change the output resolution.

I have a Samsung 56" DLP with an HDMI Cable running to the Motorola QIP6416-2 Verizon FiOS STB. I have an interesting problem occuring when I browse VOD or change from HD to SD programming channels...

My understanding is that the STB DOES change the video format for different channels is this correct?

For example, when I browse to VOD using the remote, I can view the guide and select the movie or show I want to watch, however when I select "Watch Now" and the show actually begins to play, my Samsung TV gets a message saying "Mode Not Supported" but I can still hear Audio. My understanding is that this is a problem with the HDMI handshake? Does that sound accurate?

I also get some very weird green screen when swapping from HD programming to SD Def channels, it's like the STB is changing the format it sends.

The ONLY way I have found to get this to work is using Component cables with seperate Audio cables, is there any way to adjust settings on my Samsung or STB to accept any format?

I have tried every setting for Video Format on the STB, they all work except for 1080i ( I have a 1080p DLP ), and they adjust fine using the remote, however when you change channels to VOD you still get that "Not Supported Mode" message.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
