Both STB's rebooted last night for some reason, but now...the living room STB is all sorts of messed up. The bedroom STB rebooted with no problems. The livingroom STB had no program info, doesn't change channels and when I press the menu button, the trouble shooting window opens with no text and it stays there, stuck. I unplugged the box to see if it resets but no luck. I'm in VH05. Anyone else STB's rebooted last night and experienced anything similar? |

Though all my STBs are working fine, I had the same thing happen after 4am. All the boxes rebooted and eventually went to the FiOS screen saver. It's annoying as I missed recordings on my PCs DVR. |

STB rebooted on its own again. Everything back to normal. I guess it will remain a mystery. |

Glad it's back to normal. Verizon sometimes does "global resets" on some VHO's usually on Fridays. |

Might have been the VOD-UI update that all the VHO's have been getting the last few weeks. |

VOD UI hasn't changed. No worries......until...next time. Hehe. Thanks all for chiming in. |

Ive had our boxes 'crash' a few times. When I mean 'crash' what happens is the IMG gets corrupted and so only the Core Motorola Firmware still exists. Usually unplugging and rebooting the box, waiting 3-5 minutes, and rinse/repeat 2-3 times will bring the box back. Other times I had to let them sit over night, but it eventually redownloads. |

They did another global reset around 4am today. It would be nice if they sent a command to turn the STB back on for those using an external DVR. |

It was this crap that pushed me to buy a cable card tuner for my PC, I got sick of missing recordings when there boxes crashed or they did these global resets and not noticing for 12-24 hours after the fact. |

I get ads every couple of Fridays. I don't think this had to do with the reboot. |

The rebooting of the set top boxes on Friday is really getting annoying. I find it ironic FiOS talks about being the most advanced system compared to cable yet I would guess those with Cablevision and Comcast don't have their STBs rebooting on Fridays and not being able to record programming on an external DVR because the STB says off after the reboot. At least sent a code to turn the STB back on after a reboot. |

Yep, mine all rebooted too. What I don't get is why the DVRs get stuck on the startup screen but the 7100 doesn't, I just have to push menu and it comes right up. |

said by bohratom:Might have been the VOD-UI update that all the VHO's have been getting the last few weeks. something did change here and it's WORSe than ever this machine has slowed to a painful rate and it's the newest one. now it seems like the DVR box no longer retains the "subscrived" mode and reverts to ALL channels, also the bedroom box seems to want to show you some AD screen when you first push one the GUIDe( everyday) and it freezes up for 15 seconds then finally shows it. the respond rate now is worse that the older slower box was, also the bedroom boxes have to be REFRESHED daily in order to watch recording from the front room DVR. funny thing is they are not changing the revision numbers? |
