Problem with Mult-Room DVR after moving to new location

We are having a remodeling project done in our Family room so I moved the multi-room DVR to another room to continue recording. While I can see the DVR from our bedroom DVR (also multi-room), the moved DVR does not appear to be recording anything. While we can see programs that were recorded (including at least one recording done after I made the move), the DVR states that they are no scheduled recordings (despite several series recordings being scheduled). a reboot of the box doesn;t seems to have done the trick.
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem?

Now it seems to be working fine. Before the newer backups weren't showing. It was just skipping from today to a few years ago. I checked this a couple of days in a row originally because at first I just figured that it hadn't created enough backups to show. The weirdest things is that there seems to be a couple of years missing. I know I've backed up the old computer between 2008 and 2010. Where did those files go?
It looks like Time Machine thinks you've had two separate Macs, thus the different names. You may be able to use the (badly named in this case) +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #17 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), to see the "other" Mac's backups.
1. Can I delete the old backups? The reason I would like to do this is to free up space on the external hard drive.
Yes, but not via the Finder or Terminal. You'll have to locate them via the "Star Wars" display, per #12 in the FAQ.
But if you have (or are thinking of putting) other data on the drive, in the same partition as your backups, don't. See #3 in the FAQ.
2. If I change the name of the file as described, will time machine find it?
+*NO !+* Never change, delete, or move anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal; that can corrupt them beyond repair !

Fast forward problems with 2nd room DVR

I am enjoying my new FIOS set up very much. I have the Home Media option on my HD DVR and STBs. I'm having trouble with the "Fast Forward" when watching shows in my "non" DVR room. When the show is longer than about 45 minutes... after scanning thru commericals the program jumps back to the beginning. This is very frustrating and in some ways defeats the purpose of the multi-room option. I'm considering canceling this option but wanted to check first to see if there's an easy fix.
Thanks in advance.
Arnie

Hey nascar,
All three problems are reported issues and due up to be fixed. The first of your problems isnt a problem with the site, as it is a problem with IMG. The DVR content isnt being flagged properly after finishing it. Number two, you already know what is causing it. I don't know too much about this problem as ad insertion is handled on the network level. I do know they are reporting to be working on a fix at this time. Only a few areas at this time experience this problem as verizon does not locally insert ads in every market. Number three has been around for a while. We have attempted to fix it but the "fix" actually broke more things than it fixed so we had to pull it off the boxes. This one is still a work in progress to be fixed.

Problems with certain mail attachments after moving them to a different folder in Mail

I am using Mac Mail as my default email client, and every once in a while when I move a message with an attachment from one folder to another (for example from my Inbox to my Personal folder) in Mail, the attachment will no longer show up, but rather an infinite set of characters.
I know it's a problem with my local Mac Mail client, since:
I can see the attachments perfectly in my webmail
I can see the attachments perfectly in my other Mac's Mail client, as well as on my iPhone and iPad.
This is a sample of what it looks like:

Get info on the drive. What format? FAT drives may be behave erratically for heavy-duty use of the kind you are doing. It's okay to leave a flash drive FAT formatted for light use but for heavy-duty file transfer I think you can encounter issues.
iTunes does not look at files directly. It maintains a database (library.itl) of the files in its collection. When you play a track it looks up where that file is located and goes and plays the file in that location. If you manually move a file or folder used by iTunes that database is no longer correct and you get broken links ( ! ). If you want to move files or folders with iTunes you have to let iTunes do it. Since iTunes is organizing your library there isn't much flexibility in what you can do other than move the whole collection to a different folder by changing the media location preference in preferences.

Problems with input accented characters after moving JInitiator to JDK 1.5

After upgrading from JInitiator 1.3.1.18 to JDK 1.5.0_06 (jdk plugin in IE), the input of accented characters (in our case portuguese) isn't working anymore in text areas on the forms (Forms 10g).
So, if you push first the "´" key and then the "a" key, you should get as result "á" (worked correctly with JInitiator), but after upgrading to JDK 1.5 you will get simply a letter "a".
Pressing Alt + 160 shows correctly "á".
Somebody can give a clue about this problem please?
Downgrading again to JInitiator is no option for us, as we need a more modern JVM (for a Dicom viewer applet we developed), and IE crashes if you have an Oracle form running with JInitiator, and then try to open another IE page with an applet requesting JVM 1.5 ...
Thanks a lot for your comments.

SQL Developer:Problem with multi byte size after import using excel format

Hi,
Need your help. I am trying to export multibyte characters from our China instance(r11i instance) using SQL Developer's export data via Excel format into an R12 Vision instance. I have a staging table with exactly the same structure in both instances. Prior to export to excel, I check the byte size of the sample data below using LENGTH and LENGTHB sql functions and these are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=13
Then, I exported the table as excel file. Afterwards, I used SQL Developer to import the excel file into the table of the target instance. I check the bytesize again and here are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=17
The byte size increased from 13 to 17. I did not change anything on the excel file. Just straight forward export to excel file then imported it to the target instance. How come there is an increase in byte size? Has anyone encountered this in SQL Developer? We really need to export the files as excel.
Source:
Database version = 9.2.0.5.0
Target:
Database version = 11.1.0.7.0

Wendell

Wendell,
This forum is for handling issues migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle databases.
As this is an Oracle to Oracle issue using SQL*Developer export it would be better to open a new thread in the SQL*Developer forum -
SQL Developer
There will be more people there who can help with this problem.

Recurring Multi-Room DVR problem

Hello.
My multi-room DVR (new - installed in April) is repeatedly having issues lately. Once about two weeks ago we turned it on and, though the FiOS live TV option was working fine, the DVR button brought us to a screen saying something about how the multiroom DVR is unavailable and to try unplugging it. There were no recordings. We did unplug it and leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes. When we plugged it back in it was working again but no programs or scheduled recordings were saved. It was like starting from scratch and we were frustrated, but we thought the problem was solved.
Since then the same thing has happened three more times. The third time I live chatted with a Verizon support tech and she ran some remote tests and reset the machine and it worked. The saved and scheduled recordings were back too, but one scheduled recording just hadn't been recorded (probably because the issue was happening with the DVR all afternoon without us knowing and so it wasn't able to record. Today it happened again (for the fourth time) and I went on FiOS support troubleshooting. A reset of the machine worked, and our couple of recordings that we have had since the last time this happened are still there.
So the problem seems to be getting better. But, I'm still frustrated because I don't understand what the underlying problem is and how to fix it. I don't want to be doing this troubleshooting every day. Especially because if it malfunctions while I'm at work or, even worse, away for a week it won't record my shows. What's the point of having a DVR if I can't be sure that my shows will be saved for me to watch at my convenience?
Does anyone know what might be wrong with the machine or its settings and how I can make sure this doesn't keep happening on a regular basis?
Thanks,
Emily

Multi Room DVR Problem

Recently had FIOS TV installed and all was working fine until last night. We have the multi-room DVR and have 3 other HD boxes that were able to access the DVR.
Last night, one of the three HD boxes gave me an error when I tried to access the DVR and said it could not access the DVR.
I unplugged both the DVR and the HD box. Now, not only cannot I not access the DVR, the TV guide also does not work (i.e. does not give me any listings, just that info is not available) and also no access on VOD.
Any ideas?

Is your internet connection working? The router is what provides guide information to the TVs over the coax cable using MOCA. It sounds like you might have lost your MOCA signal.

Is it really necessary for me to replace my STB 7100 series with this new multi-room DVR?

I just wanted to know other people's opinions on this because so far, I'm leaving my existing setup alone. I was looking on line to see what upgrades may be available to me and the multi-room DVR is one of them, which now I see is not only available to just new customers.
But here are some of the reasons for my hesitance about switching:
- I never record anything and I never will. People say "never say never" but that's one "never" statement that I make pretty confidently.
- I only have one TV in my house, just in the living room.
So I guess my question is, "What would I gain, if anything?" Or would getting that new DVR be good preparation for further upgrades in the TV Guide Display?
As long as I can watch my TV and all the basics are working as they should, that's really all that matters to me.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Based on your comments you don't need a DVR.
However if you were to decide to get one you only should get a HD DVR. The multi-room is a software feature, not different hardware, that can be enable if you ever setup an additional stb for another room. The multi-room feature is an additional $4 over the price of the DVR.

FIOS TV Multi Room DVR

Has anyone else been hung up on after - 10/24 my main tv screen goes blank and they send a replacement box - 10/29 upon return from business trip I learn that new box dropped all 27 hours of recorded programming and reflects no shows to record - this is contrary to the Represenation when I signed up in June - i was told multi room DVR would store this information if a box needed replacement - I plugged old box back in and informed technical support and billing that once i watched the 27 hours of recorded prorgammming I would leave if they would not give me two months free - Billing supervisor HUNG UP ON ME MID SENTENCE - I sat down for dinner after 60 minutes on the phone
when I turned TV back on screen is blank but I get sound - this was problem causing my wife to ask for new box - shipped 10/24
new technical support person said my blank screen meant my box was dead, duh that is why they sent new box in first place - new billing person offered me one day credit as it was first time I compained box was not working - she had no record of Oct 24 shipment of new box - Supervisor asked why I disconnected last call - Customer Retention Department in DC closes at 9pm - how ironic, I am offered direct line to call them in the AM between 8am and 9pm. - there is no way to get Customer Retention to actually speak with a customer directly about retaining them, the onus is on the customer to be retained.
Veriszon customer service is an oxymoron...

FIOS TV Multi Room DVR Video On Demand errors

I recently activated FIOS TV (already had FIOS Internet and Freedom phone) and received 5 STBs (1-QIP7216-1 DVR, two HD STBs a second HD DVR (QIP-6400 and a standard def STB) connected via COAX (MoCA) to an Actiontec Gen2 wireless router. Since the TV service install 1 month ago I have been on the phone with FIOS tech support at least a dozen times trying to resolve intermitent internet connectivity problems and most recently issues with FIOS TV features (i.e. Video on demand and multi-room DVR configurations). The Video on Demand issues would manifest as VOD_6 (request timeouts). Each time I worked with tech support to reset the router, power off the STB, etc and sometimes the VOD service would activate.
Last week VOD failed again and the FIOS tech I spoke to was havnig difficulties remotely connecting to my STBs (a common situation from previous tech support calls). He dispatched a technician to visit my home to check DB levels for each of my STBs. The field tech arrived two days ago and brought a new QIP7216-1 and a new router. It took over an hour for him to get them working even with help from remote support (they couldn't "see" the STBs). Once they were able to flush out the issues, he departed but unfortunately he left without enabling the multi-room DVR functionality. I called FIOS support yesterday and the remote technician had significant difficulties getting the "system" to recognize my configuration and he eventually broke off our call so he could escalate to Video support. He called me back hours later once he felt that they had resolved all the configuration issues and when I checked everything seemed to be working.
This morning I tried to program my DVD from my Verizon cellphone (this was working last week) and the DVR displayed a message that my account was not authorized. I called into FIOS support and the automated service attempted repair which included a "reload" of the STB firmware. Once the automated system felt I should be able to continue I noticed that the Video on Demand error VOD_5 happened when I tried to select it and now the option for Remote DVR programming is nolonger available on any menu!
I called back to tech support and the technician had me unplug and restart the STB but he was having issues remotely accessing the STB. He broke off the call explaining that he needed to escalate to Video Networking specialists and I'm awaiting his call back.
I am wondering if my experience is common and whether someone else has encountered (and resolved) these frustrating issues. I can't believe that Verizon expects users to have to re-boot routers and STBs anytime a feature is accessed. Hopefully one of the Verizon employees who monitor these forums can see some commonality and suggest a course of action that will bring relief. I have spent more hours troubleshooting my configuration than I've enjoyed the entertainment offerings, Please help!

Hi gr8scot,
Since my original post I can attest that I've made it through 2 weeks without any error messages or unavailable features (fingers and toes crossed) . I can identify with your frustration and hope that once they exorcise the demons from your configuration (if you hang on) it seems that eventually the solution stabilizes.
In my case I found some help by contacting the Verizon Customer Relations team at 800-483-7988. Once I got these folks engaged I can say that my blood pressure returned to lower levels as they were in daily communications with me until I was satisfied that my issues were resolved.
It's unfortunate that it had to get to that point for me (and for you too) but it was fairly apparent that something about my equipment configuration was confused within the Verizon FIOS provisioning applications (my issues seem to have developed around the time of any equipment or service changes). I spoke to some very dedicated and personable FIOS tech support agents (unfortunately I actually got to know them very well after spending hours on the phone). It was clear to me that they were doing the best that they could and the issues were way above their toolset and my big beef was the lack of communication that happened once the first level folks had to pass the problem off to either the "network group" or the developers.
Good luck and hope we both can eventually get to enjoy our entertainment systems.

New HD Multi Room DVR Issues (AV Syncing & DVR Error Message)

I recently upgraded our Multi Room DVR to the new HD compatible box. To date, we have had no problems with our Samsung which is hooked up to the primary DVR in our Family Room, the issue is with our 20" LG in the bedroom, which is hooked up to the new box.
The issues are:
1. Audio/Video Syncing - After watching a live program for a while the AV syncing becomes an issue. I find this mainly on HD channels, but it will also happen on the non HD channels as well.
2. 'No DVR Signal' - When watching a recorded HD program on the new box, we have gotten the a communication error message toward the end of the show. The only choice that the message gives us is to select OK, which stops the recording and takes us back to the main playback menu. When we try and fast forward to the part of the show where we got the message, the picture freezes and we can not watch any longer.
I have talked with Verizon and, initially, I thought that it was an issue with the activation since it happened the first night that we got the box, however, it has now happened twice in the same week.
I will say that we did not have this issue with the standard STB Multi Room DVR, it worked fine.
Sorry, if this issue has been discussed already...

1) I have not seen or heard about this issue yet.
2) This is a knows issue and they have a fix that will be rolled out on image 1.7 on the STB. And that should be out in the next few weeks.
Hey Thanks Tim for the update. The "Unable to Locate Hub" nag is really getting me. If Verizon fixes that issue I would be able to live with the other issues. I love the service except for the nag. It's a real killer to try and watch a show and the nag comes up.

Multi room dvr not working

I signed up for Home Media DVR, however, I have never been able to view recorded programs from the other tv. After a VERY lengthy phone call with tech support the problem remains unchanged. They had me unplug every set top box and the router and then power them back. They also did several remote system re-sets... No luck.
The phone call ended with Tech support mistakenly claiming that my router wasn't working (the actual problem with the router was that the wireless settings changed when they asked me to re-set it). I figured this out on my own, after hanging up. So, they sent out a new router, which actually doesn't work. All lights come on as expected except the "internet" light is orange instead of green.
Anyway, the old router is working fine but I can't get the multi room dvr to work. I saw another post where a Verizon rep replied that they "waived their magic wand" and the problem was resolved! Still got that magic wand??
Solved!

Multi-room DVR and DVR

I recently added a multi-room dvr to my FIOS package along with the current DVR I have had since original installation. It doesn't seem they can share recordings between them. They are acting like DVRs, but tried a few combinatoins of recording and neither one sees recordings from the other. Is this a problem with my installation or configuration, or do I need a STB instead of a DVR to use multi-room DVR?
Thanks,

When you get the new IMG 1.9a update you will be able to share. Earlier versions do not support DVR to DVR streaming.

Multi-Room DVR can't play recordings properly

Wondering if anyone else has this problem, or knows of a solution.
I have Multi-Room DVR. In the past, my biggest problem with it was that recordings would occasionally freeze when played on a remote box (i.e. not the main DVR box). I would have to reset the system and try to get past the moment in the recording that was causing the error. The key discovery was that the recording would play fine on the DVR itself, so the problem had something to do with the communication between the DVR and the remote box. It's as if there was an error in the recording that the DVR knew how to resolve during playback but the remote box didn't.
Now I'm having a new but similar problem. Recording plays fine on the DVR itself. On the remote box, when I hit a specific moment in the recording, it freezes for a second, then continues but th picture becomes pixelated. To imagine the picture, draw a horizontal line halfway up the picture. Everything above that line is fine. Below it, the right half of the image is now on the left and vice versa. Plus random pixelation. Also the sound becomes "pixelated" in the sense that it turns into a mess of beeps and stutters.
Once this happens during the recording, it continues until the end.
I know the recording itself is fine because the main DVR box can play it without error.
I talked to a tech. He reset the boxes and checked the connection levels. Everything seems fine. His advice was to monitor it, and if it happens again, they'll have to replace everything.
Anyone with a similar problem? Was it resolved by changing the boxes out?

Hello,
I would suggest the following:
From the non-DVR STB that has the pixelated recordings, try following troubleshooting steps:
Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Reboot STB
Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Set Top Box Auto-Correction
Also, if the problematic STB is a Motorola 6000 series, I'd recommend replacing it with a newer model.
Moreover, try the autocorrection technique for the MRDVR (if the above two are confirmed OK) via the remote.
Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Autofix MRDVR Issues
or DVR -- Autofix MRDVR Issues
If all else fails, contact Verizon's Technical Support at 1-888-553-1555.
By the way, if you have questions on your account or need to switch out equipment and there is a Verizon FiOS store in your area, then they can help you. You can give them a call; contacting the VZ FiOS store might be less time consuming than calling the 800 number for Customer Service. For technical-related matters, though, they'll connect you right through to Technical Support.
Here is a list of Verizon FiOS stores:
http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/tv/fiostv/General+Support/Account+Issues/QuestionsOne/8...
Lastly, if the TV show is a fairly popular, the recorded episode might be available ON DEMAND via "Free & Premium" -- TV Shows --- By Network (find network name alphabetically) from the "On Demand" on the TV Remote.
Good luck!

Multi-room DVR and router location

My multi-room DVR was working fine and so was the Internet, but the only problem was that the wireless Internet signal was too weak for my computer's location. I was told by 2 different Verizon tech support people that I could move the router upstairs and the multi-room DVR would still work, even though the actual multi-room DVR is still downstairs.
So far, the multi-room DVR is not working, but the Internet is and the wireless signal is much stronger for my computer.
Does anybody know if there is a way to move the router and not have it directly connected to the multi-room DVR?

I had a similar problem recently with my MR-DVR. I made some changes to my Routers Configuration which required a power cycle. Afterwards my STB and DVR still worked fine, but the STB could not find the MR-DVR. I had to reboot the MRDVR and STB to get everything back in sync.
