Channel freezes... in Verizon FIOS TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20495415 en Fri, 04 Dec 2009 07:48:42 EDT Fri, 04 Dec 2009 07:48:42 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498847 MeatChicken :

I see exactly the same thing as MeatChicken sees. All I need to do to avoid it is slow down on pushing the channel up/down buttons on the remote. I only have one HD DVR so I cannot try it on another, have never seen the problem on either SD box. I don't think I ever saw this before the IMG deployment, have had the same DVR for 2 1/2 years, generally works great.

Annoying but not really a biggie, but it would be nice to get it fixed.
This is Exactly my problem, .. it's only tied to how fast you up/dwn channels, is only on the HD DVR, & started as soon as the new IMG rolled out.

What you are seeing is what the Vz STBs do if there is no signal on a channel you tune to...it will show you a frozen picture of the previous channel.

This is not a Vz issue, as FSN SW that my parents have on Suddenlink in Arkansas does the same thing with their feed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498178 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:24:54 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498161 justin9876 : I see exactly the same thing as MeatChicken sees.

Black screens, pixelation and subscribed channels coming up "Channel not available" is a signal issue.

Reseat the coax cable on your STB and reboot your STB. If that doesn't help, call tech support, you need a tech to come out to your home and he'll bring a sunrise meter to get a db reading on the line and splitter.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20496292 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:45:21 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20496207 MeatChicken : I notice If I change channels up/dwn "fast" on the HD DVR, it many times when I stop on a channel will give a black screen, or often will show the wrong channel, as if the box can't "keep up" with the fast up/dwn channel surfing ...
.. Say I ch down a batch of channels to 804, then up to 805 & back to 804, all done "quickly" ... The video onscreen will still be showing the signal from 805 when the box is stopped on 804 .. eventually the picture will black out or become unavailable .. I need to change channels to get back to "normal" again ...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20496207 Fri, 16 May 2008 23:22:09 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20496031 anon : Well the Rays game is on; it comes on the SD version of FSN FL, but it doesn't on the HD.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20496031 Fri, 16 May 2008 22:41:55 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495977 afiggatt :

When I try to turn to FSN HD, it will freeze whatever channel I am currently on until I change the channel again or hit the "last" button. Does anyone else get this? It only seems to do it on this channel on HD.
I assume FSN is Fox SportNet? Is this "freeze" occuring just tonight or has it been happening for a while? If it just tonight, it may be that the channel is blacked out for a local game that a local broadcast station has the rights to. Another explanation is that the FSN-HD channel is part-time, so it is an inactive channel when there is no HD game - which will be most of the time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495977 Fri, 16 May 2008 22:26:29 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495933 anon : I'm located in Tampa, Florida.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495933 Fri, 16 May 2008 22:15:14 EDT Re: Channel freezes... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495685 matcarl : Where are you located?
