DVR turns off TV!

Since the 'upgrade', when I press the DVR button now, it turns the TV off and I can't get to any recorded programs or anything else. I have tried several times and each time the TV goes off and the set box has to be reset to get the TV on. Anyone else having this problem? I haven't had any problems with it doing this before the upgrade. Worked like a charm. Now it's worthless.

Using the "in home agent" reset the remote code "900" I believe.

DVR 620 keeps turning off while recording

I've been recording dvd's a lot in the last few months, but this just started today. I can't find anything in the manual about this. Does the dvr part need to be cleaned from time to time?

Describe in more detail what is happening. Are you trying to dub from VHS to DVD? If so, can you play back the VHS tape without a problem? Which kind of DVD is it? DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW? And is there sufficient space? What setting is your record speed? Not dubbing, just recording a tv show onto a Memorex DVD+R (16X 4.7GB 120min) disc. It was a new disc, recording speed SP, which is good for 2 hours, and it was only 30 minutes into the recording. Not only did it stop recording, the player/recorder turned off. It wasn't programmed, and I was in the room, so I grabbed the remote and turned the player/recorder back on and hit record again and it recorded to the end of the show. It did that 3 times yesterday but not once today. I've only recorded one show today though.

Turn off ads when accessing DVR?

Is there any way to turn off those annoying pop up ads when I try to access my DVR? If I want to rent The Hangover 2 on-demand, I will access on-demand. When i hit DVR on my remote, I want to watch something on my DVR. THis is made doubly annoying because the ads take a long time to load.

Actually you can turn it off. It is under Menu -> Settings -> Television -> Interactive TV. Set that to disable.

Turned off power strip to DVR Box and Wireless Router...now I don't have internet connection..

I went away this past weekend and turned off the power strip that my DVR box and wireless router are plugged into. When I got home early this morning I powered them back on and I did not have an internet connection anywhere in my home. I restarted the router twice and still no connection. My computer says that connection to my wireless is "very good" but I get notice that computer "cannot display webpage" or "invalid web address". I left for work and have not tried anything else to remedy this issue. Ideas anyone?

Is your TV Service and Phone service if you have it working as it should? What does the router indicate as far as status lights go?

TS1368 when downloading large files such as videos of television season do you need to turn off autolock to prevent download from halting

when downloading large files such as videos of a television season do you need to turn off autolock to prevent download from halting? And if so, if the download will take a significant amount of time (not sure how much offhand) how do you prevent burn in from prolonged screen image?

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

TV turns off after powering FIOS receiver on

Just bought new Samsung PN58C8000 3D plasma 58' TV. I'm using the older FIOS receiver box. When I power on the receiver, the TV turns off. I doubt its the TV, because I've tested it with DVD player, and it works just fine. Not a remote issue either, bc I notice it while manually powering On both units too. The TV will show a channel (with working image of the programming) for 1 second before Powering the TV off on its own. It COULD be the HDMI cable (didn't try recommended 1.4x cable - instead tried just a regular cable). OR, its COULD be that this FIOS box is old, and maybe not compatible with this new TV. Either way, TV turns off still... please give advice.

You say it is not a remote issue. But if it is, this information may be helpfull to you or other users. Also the 58" TV being plugged into the STB may not be a good idea. Not sure what power switching capacity the STB has, and would need to look it up. To protect your TV investment, I would say get a seperate good quality surge protector and give it a dedicated power source.
The first, or older remotes have a power button that turn on and off both TV and STB with the same button. They can get out of sync. If you plug the TV into the STB, this can make matters worse, or more confusing. Make sure the STB is on and press just the power button on your TV to get things back in sync. Or aim the remote at the TV so only the TV can see the remote signal once the STB is on. Even though the newer remotes only control two devices, I like them because or the seperate STB and TV power buttons that do not send out both the TV and STB on/off signal at the same time.
If you want the Power Key to control only one device at a time…
To power any device, you will need to press the appropriate Device Key, then the Power Key.
1. Press and hold the STB key.
2. While holding down the STB key, press OK.
3. Release both keys. The Device Keys will blink twice.
4. Press 9 - 7 - 7. The STB key will blink twice.
5. Press OK. The STB key will blink 3 times to indicate success in programming.
The original setting for the Power key depends on which remote you have. (Please check the Play / Pause key on your remote to see which remote you have.)
Now this is odd. Sure your just not trying to get the 7232 DVR without the upgrade fee. Just kidding, and don't mean to insult you. I supplied any information I could come up with, and it looks as if everyone else covered things very well. Let us know what happens today.
Best Regards.

QIP 7100 2 boxes constantly turning off

I've got 2 QIP 7100 2 boxes
they turn off constantly (go into standby)
this messes with my DVR!
I don't want verizon's DVR, i want my DVR to work. It would work great if the boxes would stay on for more than 30 minutes to 2 hours at a time.
What can be done?
thanks

The only I can suggest is to reboot the STB then go back in and check to make sure the sleep timer is set to never and see what happens.

Remote Powers Off X1 Box When TV is Turned Off

I installed the X1 box using the self-installation kit two days ago. When I turn the TV off, the X1 box turns off. I have tried to power the box back on pressing the power button and it won't turn on. It will only power back on of I turn the TV back on. I never had this issue with my previous box. I was able to turn the TV off and have the box still powered on.
And each time I turn off the TV, when I turn it back on, the X1 Box reboots and takes about 3-5 minutes for the cable to work.
This is so frustrating! I've tried troubleshooting, reading all kinds of things online. I have reprogrammed the remote, tried to power down my TV with just the TV manufacturing remote, and that still turns the box off. I have no idea why it's doing this.
I can't DVR anything unless my TV is on. If I'm not home, my DVR won't record anything because the box is off.
I've looked on the X1 tips and tricks and nothing has helped to resolve this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have one of those smart power strips? If so, is your TV connected to the "Control" outlet and the X1 STB plugged into one of the automatically switched outlets? I have one of these and my PC is in my Control outlet, so when my PC goes off, so does my Ceton device, my speaker system, and my monitor. Reason I'm asking is if you have your TV plugged into the control, and the X1 plugged into a switched outlet, turning off your TV would also switch off the X1 box. Here's an example picture of one of these -
If not....then just ignore this piece

VOX: Sound turn off after 60-90 seconds

After 60 - 90 seconds, sound turn off, video is ok. Pls help me. I am woking on Notebook HP ze5470us. I've tried changing many things but always is the same.

They're dated 2004-5-4, which I assume means May 4. There is no change in the sound problem. I have a Creative SoundBlaster Live Value card with line in jack. The sound is fine for the first 60-90 seconds of either live view or recording, then it snaps off and stays off. It's the same whether I'm using MSI PVS or WinDVD Creator as the capture software, so I'm pretty sure it's the driver.
However, I'm not sure how to make sure the new driver was the one which WinXP Home installed. Before running the setup.exe that came with the new driver, I ran Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel and removed the USB Audio/Video Device Driver item that represents this device driver. After rebooting, I ran the setup for the new driver I just downloaded. After rebooting again with the MSI VOX2.0 card unplugged, I plugged it in and Windows "found new hardware" and offered to search for a driver for it. I allowed that to go forward and got a warning from Windows that the driver was not signed or approved. I allowed it to install anyway, but there is still the same problem. I don't know how to verify that the new driver was the one picked and installed by Windows, or if it could be still the original one that was on the install CD supplied with the MSI VOX2.0.
I noticed that a no-audio problem was mentioned as fixed in the ReleaseNote.txt file included in the msipvs_8609.zip file, but I'm not sure they're talking about the same no sound after the first minute problem.
I can't find anything else about this anywhere.
Anybody solve this problem yet or have an idea where to find help?
Yes I think I found the problem. It seems that only laptop users have this problem. I also had this problem with the vox connected on my laptop. Sound simply switches off after about 30 seconds. Reading the forum I found out that the problem only appears with laptop users. I tried it on my desktop pc and the problem disappeared.
The problem can be solved by disconnecting all other usb devices that draw current from the usb port. I did this and since then the vox is working correctly for hours now. It is a pitty that we are not helped by MSI. I would expect that they know how much current the vox draws and that it is critical.

Need help turning off WPA!! on MI424WR-GEN3I

Hi,
I cant seem to turn of WPA on the router. I have it on WPA/WPA2 resulting in speeds of 56MBps. Simple fix to turn off WPA but I am not sure how to.
Anyone with ideas please?

The OP needs to use WEP to connect some legacy equipment to his network which aparently won't support WPA2 encryption.
My suggestion still is to purchase/ beg an older G only router and set it up as an AP and then connect only the cameras and DVR to it either using WiFi or Ethernet.
PROS:
1. This will give you the WEP security you need.
2. By having the cameras and DVR connected on this AP you won't slow down N capable devices which can connect to your primary network.
3. Devices connected to your primary network will be protected by WPA2, but there is a big but
CON:
1. By having an AP using only WEP someone can easily gain access to your network. The best thing you can do to prevent this is double NAT the second router behind your primary which will result in any devices connected to it being in their own subnet with no access to the primary network. This however may result in it being much more difficult acessing the cameras remotely.
2. If you choose not to double NAT then enable every security feature you can on the second router which will delay and discourage script kiddies but not stop a real hacker intent to gain access:
a.Long as possible and secure WiFI encryption on WEP.
b. very secure administrative password.
c. Block administrative access by WiFi
d. Allow only certain IPs to administer the router
e. Block remote access to router
f. Give only the MAC addresses of devices that you want to be able to use the second router access by WiFi.
g, Monitor the system logs so you can tell if your router is under attack

DVR turns TV on automatically

I have two TV's connected to the same DVR: a Panasonic plasma connected via HDMI cable and a Samsung in another room connected via component video cables.
My problem is that sometimes when I switch on the DVR to watch the Samsung TV it turns on the Plasma as well. This causes the Samsung to flash a component video icon and drop the audio for a second or two - this happens every 30 seconds or so - I have to turn off the Plasma to get it to stop.
I have gone through the menu on the plasma and deselected anything that would cause the DVR to turn it on, yet the problem persists.
Is there anything in the DVR menu that would prevent it from automatically turning on a device hooked up by HDMI cable?
Thanks in advance.

Theres nothing in the DVR settings that could automatically turn the TV on. Either one of two things are happening
1) The verizon remote has master power turned on.
That means when the Verizon remote is in STB mode and if you press power, the remote sends out 2 power command. One to the TV and one to the DVR. To turn that off follow one of the two following steps:
          a) If your remote has 2 buttons across the top, Hold the OK and the number 2 button at same time.
               Release. When red light stays on, punch in 9-7-7. Then press OK
          b) If your remote has 4 buttons across the top, Hold the STB and the POWER button. Release. Buttons
               at top will all flash Punch in 9-7-7. STB light will blink. Press STB. It will blink again. Then press ok
2) Your TV has an autolink setting turned on
That means the TV is constantly doing port scanning. When it detects another device turned on and/or sending a signal, it  will trigger the TV to turn on and switch inputs. For information how to disable that you will need to contact the TV manufacturer.
We can help in scenario 1, but not in 2. If you need further assistance with the remote, please send me a private message.

TV turns off randomly

Last weekend, my wife and I were watching an OnDemand movie and the DVR clicked over to live TV. It seemed to think the movie was still playing, but it was showing live TV. We cancelled the show that was recording and were able to resume the movie.
However, since that time, the TV has started turning itself off randomly. It seems to happen mostly at night - but that might be a coincidence. The TV will play for hours at a time, then turn off. We have to wait about 30 seconds, then we can turn the TV back on. From there, sometimes it stays on the rest of the night, sometimes it happens again in 30 minutes.
It seems to happen most often when we are watching recorded shows on the DVR, but then again - 90% of the time we are watching recorded shows vs live - so that is to be expected.
Anyone else having these problems? Any advice?
(using a HDDVR and Panasonic Plasma TV)
Thanks!

I have the same problem. My TV randomly turns off anytime I watch TV - it does not matter if it is TV, Video on Demand, or DVR. However, the TV NEVER turns off when I watch a DVD movie. I have noticed that every time the TV shuts off while I am watching FIOS TV when I turn it back on my FIOS DVR Box flashes a DUI code.
If anyone has an idea on how to make this stop happening please let me know as it drives me crazy and I am on the verge of getting rid of FIOS because I never had this issue with any other service provider.

I recently sold my Mac Air to a friend, he wants to use iTunes Match, but it says he can't for another 40 days because it was attached to my account. How can I get that turned off so that he can use his account and turn on iTunes match.

I reecntly spold my mac book air,to a friend, when he tries to use itunes match it says the computer is registersed to another user and cannot be done for another 40+ days. How do i get that to turn off. I have unregistered it under my account.
thanks s

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

I've already turned off the automatic switch to white on black in low light while reading my book. But other areas, such as the shelves still switch to night view and I can't find where to turn that off.
