| [DVR] 7232 Slow, Unrepsonsive Until Warms Up or a Reboot Lately every time I turn on the 7232 and I try and change the channel within the first minute and the box just freezes for a minute or 2 and then changes the channel. Any other button pushed during this wait seems to cache and the function then follows in rapid fashion. If I hit the menu button, wait a minute and navigate to reboot it seems to go away a little quicker, but I cannot change channels, push any other buttons a few times until the box warms up. VOD is really slow during this time.
Anyone else have this going on or is this box specific. It started about 2 weeks ago, VHO8. |

kudos:28 | Yes. Have also been seeing this in VHO8 with a 7232-P2. The display will change in response to channel up command, but the channel does not change for a couple of minutes.

Yep, same here. First time it happened, I walked over to manually shut off the box. I pressed the button, the light went off, the picture went off but the info for the show was still on the set! I unplugged the box and let it reboot.
If there is I show I want to watch, I turn the box on five minutes before, choose the channel and wait. It eventially changes to the channel. This is really getting annoying. |

I am noticing the same thing in VHO4 (Maryland) so I don't think this is a localized issue. |

Also seeing on startup slow response to changing channel numbers. Have (2) 7232s, seems worse on the one that is turned off at night. Am in VHO8.

It's "a feature" not a flaw. I have even received a replacement box. Begged for a newer box here in VHO8, but no joy. They give the excuse it's the guide updating etc. wow what a mess! |

| VHO3308 and slow is the word of the day here too.
You got to love VZ, raise the price and slow the service down. |

One of my three 7232s act that way, I'm in VHO9a. It's actually done it for months. |

Same here on a 7216 Box. Try the "Menu" options:
Customer Support/In home Agent/DVR/Auto Fix
I've tried it before and didn't process (because I don't have a Multi Room DVR, I assumed) but it "appears" to be better now after running this test (resets the box, etc.) |

Same here for me in Pittsburgh, VHO11. Started a few days ago. Very annoying. |

Been there, tried that and the T-Shirt only lasts a day or two

I am wondering if this has something to do with this »Verizon Router Multicasting To My Home Network If Verizon has moved a bunch of the STB data to a multicast stream (This has nothing to do with the video itself) it would make since that everyone would have this problem. Before the box would request updates and start receiving them immediately, if they are pushing multicast then the box has to wait for the stream to start over before it can use the data which could take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes depending on where in the data stream the box is turned on at. |

I'm also having the same problem with occasional slow response in VHO8. I had to manually reboot my 7232 on Friday night 8/24. Sometimes when changing the channel, DVR will go blank or sometimes takes 30-45 to respond to channel change. Also had a problem with VOD hanging on Saturday and had to unplug the 7232 to fix. These problems have been happening over the last 3-4 weeks or so. Thought maybe my 7232 was going bad but after reading the posts I'm not the only having these problems. |

Makes sense, especially with Dave's hint it's being changed by VHO said by nycdave :
No, once IMG Multicast is enabled in a VHO, all the STB's will use it, not just the DVR's.
Not in all VHOs yet is how I read that. |
