said by stillholding :said by Jmartz0:Just push the power button. It will get rid of the hold message and boot the box just fine.
That is EXACTLY what they are trying to avoid. If you turn the box on too early it doesn't load properly and will take MUCH longer. Hold means " hold on" , don't do anything... just wait till it says "turn on".
Well, they can go screw. I have had that box and have rebooted it plenty of times without, "holding." and waiting for anything. The box sits there, displays NOTHING on the screen and most people aren't going to sit there and wait for the box to do whatever it does while the screen is just black.
Once again, the cablevision "programmers" if that's what they can be called have done a very poor job with implementation. They should have a screen, like TIVO that basically tells people that they have to wait "a few minutes more" or whatever until the box boots up.
Is their box software so piss poor that they don't want people to see the blue "scientific atlanta" screens anymore while they wait for the box to boot?
