Re: [DVR] 7232 Slow, Unrepsonsive Until Warms Up or a Reboot

What channels are effected? I assume local broadcast and premium channels are not effected.
I also assume ch 131/1952, which is now outdated as it refers to the 1.9.0 guide.would also not be effected.

It may help to leave your boxes on (I do) as I do and do not experience any issues noted in this thread.

I have two 7232s. I leave one box on all the time and have the issue. I have also had instances with the other box I leave off all the time, still experiencing the problem to a lesser degree. It's been reported as such.

The issue is related to the channel you leave your box set on last and the box turned off.

These two things, try a different channel and leave the box on is what can be tried now to alleviate the issue.

Once I know more in detail, I will post it.

OK no problem. I won't pass on anything I learn.

I wonder why I don't have the issue. 2 - 7232's and 1 - 7100.

My 7232's are recording all the time nearly non stop. I leave them on and both have esata. The 7100 is only on with the TV.

That is really strange I never have this issue on any of my 4 other 7100 I can turn them off forever and they come right on and I am able to change channels immediately. Now as for the 7232 If I shut the box off for any period of time channel changing is delayed for a min or so, so I just leave the box on not sure if the channel that I leave it on has anything to do with it however I am mostly on 600 or 603 and I have not experience the issue as of late but when time permits I will do a little trial and error experiment

It was on one of the previous posts that it happens when you stay on the same channel for several hours before trying to change the channel. It does not matter if the box is turned on or off during those hours. I've been noticing regularly switching from channel 577 (MASN).

I have updated the thread in the Verizon Forums to indicate that my DVR seems to be working better this afternoon. I have been out of town since last Thursday, it was awful then, now it is much better, still far from perfect, but a big improvement.

Anybody else seeing this?

I was told it should dissipate starting today. But the real fix is coming in a firmware update.

it only happens once after turning on my TV/cable box...after that 1st freezeup I don't see it again until my next shutdown/restart...also doesn't happen every time...very sporadic issue...not as bad as the video/audio hiccups that were occuring a few months back

I was an early member of the bandwagon complaining about this issue as it was happening frequently enough to be an irritant.

I have been cautious about saying anything but for about a month I have not experienced one freeze-up. I haven't changed anything and haven't heard about Verizon doing anything.

Looks like divine intervention trumps Verizon!!!

This is a daily issue in North Fort Worth (Texas) and it annoys the *hit out of us. Enough said.
