This is a HDMI interoperability issue caused by the current software. The box is not defective.

The 6xxx series boxes exhibit fewer HDMI issues than the 7xxx series.
I have had a 6xxx box for over 2 years and never had a problem until a few months back, all with the original set-up. The only differnce was I added a STB and software to use the DVR on that STB. But I guess I'll just wait until they get a bigger HD to complain about it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bad-DVR-22657823 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:12:31 EDT Re: Bad DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bad-DVR-22656541
It could be a timing problem between your exact TV and that exact DVR (just a guess). If they both "meet spec", then there's no problem. If either one is on the hairy edge of spec, then it might stop working intermittently.

Until they fix the firmware, I'd try a new DVR. Maybe you'll have better luck.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bad-DVR-22656541 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:27:27 EDT Re: Bad DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bad-DVR-22653976 said by darcilicious:

I am using component cables from the DVR to the reciever and HDMI from the receiver to the TV.

So if it's component from the STB to the receiver, and HDMI from the recevier to the TV, it's an STB HDMI issue? Strange...
That would be a HDMI interoperability issue between your receiver and your TV. The STB would not be a factor.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bad-DVR-22653976 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:07:44 EDT Re: Bad DVR? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bad-DVR-22653308 I am using component cables from the DVR to the reciever and HDMI from the receiver to the TV.

I've got the DVR hooked up via HDMI to the AV receiver and then that hooked up via HDMI to the TV. I also have a blu-ray player hooked up to the AV receiver and never had a drop out with it.

I put a new HDMI cable between the DVR and AV receiver but I got the drop out again.

So what causes this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Bad-DVR-22644049 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:01:37 EDT
