Boot times/issu​es for Motorola vs. Cisco DVRs

We have a solar powered home, and I'd like to keep our DVR off during the night when we're not recording anything to save power.    Is there any difference in the boot time or issues around repeated booting between the Cisco Chs435hdc, and Motorola 7232 DVRs?
 I noticed that the Motorola consumes less power (22W vs. 27W) so would like to switch from the Cisco to the Motorola all else being equal.   How can I switch my DVR to the Motorola 7232?      (we just started our service)
Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately we don't have any stats on the boot times between the respective units. While I understand your want/need to power the boxes down at night they are actually designed to stay on ( in a lower power state when off) so they can accept guide data and software updates. Since they are designed to stay on we can't really speak to the effect repeated booting would have on the units over time. To address your swap question we will need some further information.  Please look for a private message in your forum inbox.

  • Boot Times on Leopard

    Ever since I upgraded to Leopard a few months back, I noticed my boot times increased from about 10-20 seconds to up to what is now ranging between 45 seconds to a full 2 minutes
    Just wanted to know if anyone else was facing boot time issues on their macbook pros
    Post your boot times here if you can please

    Okay, I just ran the entire tests and fixes through both OnyX and Main Menu
    Boot times were about 45-60 seconds
    Then I tried resetting the PRAM and after I heard it reset for 3 times, the boot time got reduced to 30-35 seconds
    Although the first time, my applications seemed longer to open but at least the boot times were down
    So looks like holding down the Apple/option/p/r reset for 3 times worked for me
    Will 4 or even 5 times do any better?
    I'd like to know how resetting it over and over again helps with the boot time

  • Boot TIme question

    Can anyone report on what the approximate boot time should be for a Mac Pro 2.66 with a fresh OS install (no other apps to start up)? My new Mac Pro waits for approximately 50 seconds between the startup 'bong' and the Apple icon appearing (blank gray screen in the interim). Is this normal?
    Once the icon appears, the rest of the boot sequence takes 15-20 seconds.
    Mac Pro 2.66Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    From the time I press the power button mine will bong around 6-7 seconds after that time, during which the ATi X1900 XT fan will be huffing and puffing. Total boot time using an automatic login is approximately 30 seconds from the button press to the Finder fully loaded.

  • E1200 - Hang time issues

    The E1200 is a very nice router for the price. The range of features is solid and the install is very easy. I would have given it a clean 5 stars but since install I've been having hang time issues where for about 8-10 seconds the internet connection will completely die out via the router, it doesn't happen through the modem. Firmware has been updated, settings combed through.. Haven't found the reason behind it. All in all it's solid and this is probably more of an issue I'm missing but until I find it I will leave the review as-is. Happy shopping.

    This was my post via amazon after purchasing this router. I'm actually debating returning it as the problem is still occurring no matter what settings I run on.

  • Really slow boot-time, any help?

    Yeah, I've struggled with geting my boot time down for a while, I've looked at the wiki and tinkered with readahead-fedora, and nothing seems to help.
    Here are the daemons I load on boot.
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !dbus hal !network !netfs @crond @gdm @alsa @wicd @avahi-daemon @vmware @tor @privoxy)
    and here is my bootchart

    I think we can all agree that much boot time is insane for a dual core i5 processor
    You guys notice any unusual things going on there?

    These are some of the ways which can help you reduce the time it takes between GRUB and the DM.
    1. Append 'fastboot' in the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
    -->This enables asynchronous startup, which can slash one second(or a tad more) off your boot time, However this is known to break the arch boot process on some machines.
    2. Ascertain irrelevant HOOKS from mkinitcpio.conf which you can subsequently remove. Also, set the compression method of your kernel image to lzma, which has the greatest compression ratio of the three available formats. This should reduce the time it takes for your HDD to read the image, as it is compressed to a smaller size, at the price of more CPU. The trade-off is worth it, as a 5400RPM HDD is the performance bottleneck for most laptops. 
    3. You could try quick-init from the AUR.
    4. Use a lightweight DM like Slim.
    5. Use a kernel, optimised with patchsets.
    My laptop is nearly 5 years old(from the date of purchase of course). GRUB to GDM takes 20s without options 3, 4, and 5.
    I had an obsession with reducing boot-time for Arch on my desktop many months ago... and I do think I've lost count on how many times I've had to chroot from the LiveCD to fix my system haha :S
    I've managed 10s between GRUB to Slim(from18s), with the help of quick-init, having no identifiable consequences to my system.

  • Ios 6 orientation doesn't work and boot time increases. How to solve these issues for dummy? I don't understand code and strings suggested by others.

    I just upgraded from ios 5 to ios 6 on my ipad2. Now orientation doesn't work properly. Boot time increase, it takes longer time to boot. Is there any configuration to solve these issues? I can't understand the explanation with code and strings found on google to solve the orientation issue. Any easy configuration for dummy ?

    It supports well for ios 5. I couldn't remember (5.x.x) exactly but I always keeps update for ios5 and the abnormality starts when I upgraded to ios 6.

  • T400 boot time takes long time & has issue with restart

    Not sure if any one has already posted this and got replies...
    my T400 has a strange issue. it takes a lot time in pre-boot... a cursor blinks on the top left corner for 5+ minutes and then loads the 'Windows loading...' screen for about another 5 mins and finally shows the windows logon screen.
    Additionaly, when i hit shutdown, i am fine. if i hit restart - i am sitting there for ever. 
    my laptop has 8GB RAM + 256 GB SSD + Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

    Srini,
    I brought your tweet in and started a new thread and then found you already had a forum discussion going, so I'll just apend to your original thread and will leave this since I tweeted the link back to you to let you know we were taking a look.(Apologies) 
    Does this abnormally long startup of your T400 occur when docked or by itself?  On battery or on AC power?   
    Have you checked the boot device order in BIOS?  Make sure HDD is listed first.
    Are there a lot of applications being loaded in the startup folder?
    Have you tried using the MSCONFIG utility (start -> run ->msconfig) and then selected the startup tab to see what programs are being loaded during boot and if you can uncheck some that you don't always need to load?
    This could reduce your boot time.  I believe this, along with some setting tweaks was suggested in a similar T400 slow boot thread here...
    Perhaps other members will have additional suggestions....

  • PT880----Possible cold boot issue-----What are YOUR boot times??

    I may have an issue with this board that I hadn't really noticed since I've been so heavy into the max overclock I could get.
    My post and then boot time is strange and annoying-----and sometimes I have to just shut off and turn on-----to actually complete the process.  It just seems WAY too long!  But maybe this is normal for the chipset.
    Turn on>>>>>to POST beep = 40 seconds----D-Bracket shows code of "Memory Detection" during this time.....(----This is the time that seems way out of whack)----most boards I've ever had go from turn on>>>>to Post beep VERY quickly.
    From POST beep>>>>>to "Welcome" screen in BOOT = another 20 seconds
    Completion of BOOT = another 10 seconds-----not so much worried about this one as I would think it would be Windows dependent and what additional software was loaded.
    This total process seems remarkably slow----and again----sometimes-----I NEVER get the post beep (The D-Bracket code is stuck in Memory Detection) and I have to turn the machine off and start again.
    What are you guys' times with your PT880????  I tried two different types of RAM---no difference----changing RAM DIMM slots-----no difference----changing RAM timings and voltages----no difference-----I also ran Memtest on both sets of RAM (passed), reflashed Bios----cleared CMOS, and reset NVRAM----no change.
    Any ideas???  Beta Bios 1.53 issue??

  • Menu Bar Icons disappear/Long boot times for apps

    This is what my menu bar looks like. Also, it is taking forever for apps to open and boot time is longer than normal. Any Idea what could be the problem? I already deleted any 3rd party app I recently downloaded and deleted all files I recently downloaded as well. Let me know what you all think. Thanks

    I don't think that is the issue, as I do not even have that option in my Desktop & Screen Saver preferences. Below is what I see.
    Also, notice the forward and back arrows in the top let, as well as the + and - icons are missing. This is how all of my windows are. Any other ideas? Any other info I can provide to help?
    Thanks

  • Solutions for slow boot times?

    I got a custom-built AMD Phenom II X3 710 system (2.6GHz, 8GB DDR2 RAM, no overclocking), Win 7 Ultimate x64. It's got a truly annoying boot up time. I measured with a stopwatch, and it took 2:08 minutes to boot from start to the user logon. But it doesn't
    stop there, even after getting into the user account, there is still further boot up going on, and the hard disk LED basically remains on full for 5 minutes (since boot) before we see it first flickering down. The system is somewhat heavily loaded with hardware,
    it's got 4 hard drives internally, and a couple of more externals attached via USB. The boot drive is a 1TB Hitachi SATA.
    The same machine dual-boots into Ubuntu Linux in about 1:30 minutes flat from the same physical hard disk (different partition).
    I've been lately trying to optimize the services, by changing some of the automatic startup items to the new "automatic (delayed start)" method, but it hasn't made much difference. In the event logs there are various warnings and errors that show
    up constantly during the boot process, which I think are relevant here:
    One warning is from Wininit, event 11, "Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application".
    One error is from Volsnap, event 25, "The shadow copies of volume C: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time.  Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow
    copied."
    Can anyone explain these above two messages, and what I can do about them?

    Well, okay, I've gone through your procedures, it's certainly helped a bit, my startup-login time has gone down to 1:49 minutes (down from 2:08 minutes). And the startup-disk flicker time has gone down to 4:43 minutes (from 5:00 minutes). But unfortunately,
    I still can't say that this is fast.
    My feeling is that the disk seems to be doing a lot of seeking during this time, without doing a lot of transferring. It seems that the heads are so busy going back and forth, that it prevents actual work from getting done. Shouldn't the system disk cache
    be preventing this from happening? I got 8GB of RAM, so there should be plenty of room for disk metadata to get cached.
    Whoa! I've been able to get back another massive chunk of time by solving the Wininit, event 11, "Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application" warning message mentioned at the beginning. My startup->login time has gone
    down to 1:11 minutes (down from previously optimized 1:49, and unoptimized 2:08); meanwhile, the startup->disk flicker time has gone down to 4:01 minutes (down from previously optimized 4:43, and unoptimized 5:00). Plus the system has gotten much more responsive
    during boot too!
    I found the solution to that warning on a thread from the
    Microsoft Answers forum here . According to the solution there, when I change the registry value of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\LoadAppInit_DLLs
    from 1 to 0 , I immediately got back those massive chunks of time. I'm still not all that highly impressed with the actual Windows 7 boot times, but at least I'm able to click on stuff during the boot process and get
    some response out of the system: I was not getting any responsiveness before, and that annoyed me about the boot process. Since that event was listed as a warning, I was inclined to let it be, since it not as serious as an error. I'm glad I didn't wimp out
    and sought out a solution for it, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered this very simple solution. It looks like Windows 7 was loading a whole bunch of unnecessary DLLs for every program it was starting, and this stopped it from doing that.
    Thanks to Andre's boot optimization techniques, and this DLL load issue being solved, I got a much more responsive system that boots a lot faster too! And for the first time since I can remember there's no errors at all during boot-up on this system.

  • IMac late 2013 Bluetooth issues & boot time under Mavericks

    Hi there!
    After installing Mac OS X Mavericks on my iMac 27" late 2013 with a 3TB Fusion Drive my boot time is significantly longer than before. Under Mountain Lion the Mac booted in 13s, now it takes about 22s to boot up. The thing is that my Mac is just a few days old since the first iMac I received from Apple had display issues. I copied all my files from my Time Machine backup from the first iMac to the new one. Now I wonder if I should do a clean install to get back my nice 13s boot time. Have other iMac users with a Fusion Drive experienced similar issues?
    The second thing is that it takes a long time to recognize my bluetooth devices after the start up, especially my Magic Trackpad and my wireless Keyboard. Since the new iMac is only 2 days old I don't know what to do: If it's a hardware problem I could send the iMac back to Apple. What do you think?
    Thanks a lot!
    kind regards
    John

    I am having a similar issue to yours.  I have a 2010 Mac Pro.  I am currently using a Logitech DiNovo for mac keyboard and the Apple Trackpad.  Both devices are bluetooth.  They were both working perfectly fine before upgrading to Mavericks. 
    After the upgrade, I started experiencing latency issues in which both the keyboard and the trackpad would stop responding (not disconnecting).  I figured this was an issue with all BT devices but after disconnecting the trackpad I have not experienced any further issues.  If anyone has any suggestions as on how to resolve this issue feel free to leave them here.
    Thanks!

  • Outlook 2011 for mac daylight savings time issue

    Hello,
    I have a problem in my company where after daylight savings time meetings are shown an hour off in the calendar, but in the body of the meeting the time seems fine. The real problem is when after updating the meeting from it's body (just pressing save and
    close) the meeting is bloated by an hour.
    E.g. if a meeting after daylight savings time is from 11:00 to 12:00, it's shown on the calendar  from 12:00 to 13:00, but after updating the meeting it's shown from 11:00-13:00.
    This happens only on the macs in the company.
    Thank you.

  • Acrobat 7.1 update for Windows (with CS2 Premium) Continuous Configuration at Boot Time

    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 on an IBM T43P laptop with current MSFT patches. My system is set to automatically download and apply Adobe Patches.
    The patch installs, but requires "configuration" at every boot time. It completes the configuration process and requests re-boot or defer to complete the installation/configuration process.
    My system has been doing this for more than a week. I finally uninstalled Acrobat 7.0 (from within CS2 Premium), re-booted, then re-installed Acrobat Pro (within CS2 Premium) for Windows. I downloaded the full 7.1 update and the process has started all over again.
    Please advise, as the constant configuration at boot time and request to re-boot is annoying.
    Thanks.

    I use a different version of Acrobat, so didn't pay much attention... but I do know this has been discussed before, with a solution
    You might try various terms at the SEARCH link
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?126@@.ee6b2f2
    From what I do remember (as I said, no details) the solution was "something like"
    1 - manually install the update from the download page

    2 - turn Acrobat's automatic updating OFF

  • What are the normal Boot time?/Wake from sleep time? for MB?

    Looking to buy a MacBook for my wife to replace her old Dell D-420. The Dell still works fine but takes forever to boot and to wake from hibernation. I was given an old iBook a few weeks ago and was amazed at how fast it woke from sleep mode (the boot times were pretty snappy too). So my question is. What is the "normal" wake from sleep time on a MacBook? How long does a cold boot take?
    BTW: Steve isn't going to surprise us with an updated MacBook next week is he??
    Thanks
    Soon to be MacBook owner.

    lancia is right- 56 second sound about right, my 2.0 GHz MacBook boots in about 49 seconds.
    If you want your MacBook to boot up faster, you can reset the PRAM (parameter random access memory). What this does is that it resets all the devices it searches for when it starts up: forgets about them, literally
    To do this, press down the command (the buttons next to the space bar) , option, P, and R keys at the same time when you turn on your MacBook. Press these keys until you hear the tone a second time. Make sure to do it quick, because after you hear the tone it won't work.
    Hope this helps,
    Wookams
    To your BTW question:
    Almost certainly not, but I still recommend waiting a couple months extra because Apple notebooks usually update themselves every 200 days or so. I was disappointed from learning this, but hey...

  • Generate one time authentication for Guest on Cisco WLC

    Hi All
    Sorry for my question, because I just started to work with Cisco WLC.
    I have created some WLAN for local users with authentication by 802.1x + Radius by certificate.
    For Guest I used PSK with MAC-filtering.
    But I see that is not comfortable for Guests, each time they come and want to access our wireless, we have to come and get their MAC.
    I checked on Internet and find that the wireless solution for Hotel, Resorts are very easy.
    I also googled and see that Cisco WLC support Lobby Ambassador to generate Guest username/password. But as I checked, this username/password might only use with Web-Auth, this method is not comfortable for Guest who don't know they have to go to Web-Auth to do authentication (e.g: when they only get pop3 email, or vpn, ... not use browsers)
    Could I use this method (or another method) for creating one time Guest wireless username/password or Guest PSK that can be used for authentication when Guests click to Wireless-SSID name only (no need to open web browser to do Web-Auth).
    Regards
    Hai

    Hi Choudhary
    Thank you much for your information
    Could I reconfirm about my concern.
    With Cisco WLC, I can use WebAuth with Guest user only
    If I want to use Guest user for authentication when guests connect to SSID (not by WebAuth, I means use Layer 2 security only, not Layer 3), I will have to use additional Radius Server.
    And if I understand right, could you please recommend me software based Radius Server with support generate one time username/password for Guest, because I checked IAS/NPS on windows server may not have this function (ISE is not appropriate for us at this time, due to high expense)
    Regards
    Hai
