FIOS DVR Info Screen during Pause and Playback unnecessar​y!

Info Screen I'm talking about.
www.prakashandlisa.com/comprak/uploads/blog/fios/f​ios6-thumbnail.jpg 
The Info button on the remote is a nice feature, but am I the only one who thinks the Info Screen stays on to long? My count is 6 to 7 seconds. Where it is more of a pain is when you use the Pause button. The Info Screen will stay on until you either hit the Exit button or Play button. Hitting Play starts the 6 to 7 second clock before it disappears. Yes I know you can hit the Exit button and it will disappear. At this rate my Exit button will wear out soon.
There are 2 times when my fingers are constantly hitting the Exit button to cancel the Info Screen.
1. Sporting events. When you just have to see the play again, you use the Skip Back 10 seconds button watch it again. Was he safe or out? Was it a touchdown or not? I don’t know because the Info Screen is showing. I have to go back and view it again and remember to hit the Exit button so the Info Screen will disappear so I can see first base or the end zone. The same goes for game stats that pop up on the screen during the game. You hit pause to view it and the Info Screen pops up over it. You have to hit Exit again.
2. Newsmagazine (60 Minutes, etc.) / Reality shows (Survivor, etc.) / Subtitled movie or TV show (Heroes, etc.). For the rest of you who don’t like sports and could care less about my number one reason for hating the Info Screen maybe this will sway you. Every now and then during one of the above mentioned shows a text subtitle is bound to pop up. You hit the Pause or Skip Back button to read it. There is the Info Screen in the way.
I called Verizon to ask them if they could shorten the time the Info Screen stays when you hit the Info button or maybe they could make it a watermark image. The Pause is different because the Info Screen will stay on indefinitely or until you hit the Exit button. My suggestion was to get rid of the Info Screen during Pause, Play, Rewind and Fast Forward and just show a small watermark image of a Pause button on the side of the screen.
The response I got from them was that my complaint was logged. This will not get fixed unless other people complain. If you are also bothered by this call customer service and respond to this thread and maybe they will fix it. One can dream.

I can’t believe no one else hates the Info Screen that shows up across the bottom of the TV when you Pause, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Skip Rewind and Skip Forward. If I want to know what I’m watching I’ll hit the Info button or OK button. I don’t need all those other buttons/actions to do the same thing. It is very redundant. Is anyone else tired of the Info screen popping up during the above actions? A solution would be very simple. Show an image of a Pause button or any of the other actions on the corners of the TV screen. 
And yes I know you can hit the Exit button or OK button to make it go away, but why should I have to!

  • Black Screen During Gameplay and not High Demand Renders?

    Hi, 
    The computer I own has been having issues with games that it previously had no problem with. 20-30 minutes within a session the screen will go black and audio will continue momentarily. The only way out of this issue is to hold down the power button for a reset. I have updated my drivers and cleaned out any dust with pressurized air. But the problem still continues. The strange thing is that I use Photoshop and After Effects for my work and there is no issue. Need help!

You will have to reinstall or redo the changes that are undone during that time frame.

  • Intel iMac G5, black screen during erase and install -- PLEASE HELP!

    My sister's Intel iMac G5 seriously has been a lemon, it has had SO many issues. It's now 2 years old, and has been rather slow for the maybe the last year, but over the last month or so it has gone way downhill, and it literally takes an hour to boot up, and 4-5 minutes to do anything (open an application, look at a photo in iPhoto, etc.). So, we've been trying to "erase and install" with her install discs to hopefully give the computer a clean boot and see if it helps at all. She has already backed everything up.
    She started the erase and install last night, and it was going ridiculously slow. This morning when she woke up, the blue progress bar had gone about half way across. Then she went to get her kids ready, and when she came back in it looked like the computer was rebooting itself (gray screen with apple), but then the screen turned black and she can't do anything on it. Has anyone seen anything similar to this before?
    We have had so much trouble getting this to work (we tried an archive and install a few days ago, but it gave her an error at the end). For about a day we couldn't even get the computer to boot up at all, but then miraculously yesterday morning it booted! Please help, I've converted her to Macs but if I can't get hers fixed she may never get one again!!

    Does she have the Apple Hardware Test CD/DVD?

    I'm afraid that it's a contradiction in terms to talk about an intel iMac G5. What your sister has is an intel machine, and she will find good advice by posting to the [intel iMac Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110].

  • "snowy" screen during startup and then White screen

    I have an iMac about 2 years old.  It was working fine yesterday.  Now when I start it up, it has a "snowy" or "fuzzy" screen when it boots up with the Apple logo and spinning icon.  After it does its thing, it goes to a blank white screen.  I did the safe mode, by holding shift during restart.  I couldn't read what it was really doing because of the "snowy" screen but after safe mode was done, it went to the blank white screen.  Any ideas or any help would be greatly appreciated.  thanks.

    It looks like the graphic card is damaged. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your graphic card replaced

  • Clitching during capture and playback

    hi there, I have been having some major problems with FCP and my computer...I don't know if they are related.
    My HD died on me, so I put in a brand new one...since then, my fcp has been acting goofy.
    When I try to capture video and audio (in firewire NTSC Basic mode), the video stops, but the audio keeps going. When I place the clip in the timeline, the audio doesn't follow the video. I did notice though that even with just my capture window open and video is playing from my deck, it will stutter withough even hitting the capture now button.
    However, I can capture video on the "non-controlable device" mode, but it has some glithces (pixleated colors that appear in the video), but the audio doesn't get off.
    Is this a back firewire port on my computer? I did try a different f.w. cable and it still did it...anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!
    -R

    Once past the immediate AH HA!, I recognize THAT problem (which doesn't seem to be happening), more basic information becomes necessary to track down the problem.
    Video format? DV, HDV, Uncompressed HD of some flavor?
    How captured? iMovie? FCP?
    External drive type and free space? Firewire, USB, e-sata?
    Any filters on the footage?
    Sequence settings?
    How are you viewing the footage? computer screen only, external ntsc/pal monitor?
    And so on.
    Cheers,

  • My iphone 4s goes back to home screen during text and apps. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from doing that?

    Can you tell me how to prevent my phone from crashing and returning to the home screen while I am in the middle of a text or in an app?

    When was the last time you powered your iPhone off and on?
    Try a reset instead which is similar to a computer restart. Press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • How to Stop Lagging? at 1/4 resolution paused and playback but still lags?

    I've never had this problem before but iv been sent some movs as part of a editing job and i make new sequence clip from file in premiere pro cs5.5 and the sequence settings are AVCHD square pixel 25p 1280x720,Square Pixels, No Fields 48000Hz.
    I have a MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Startup Disk Macintosh HD. The movs play fine in quicktime but play choppy in pro as I say never had these problems with AVCHD before and have tried converting to H.264 and Prores then reimporting but still lags, My media scratch disks are in a folder in my documents as they always have been, if i partion a drive and make set my scratch disks to that partitioned drive, I haven't partitioned a drive before and will back up my work first to be safe but would that make a difference as I want to avoid doing that if possible as have all my work on my laptop so dont want to rush in to something and accidentily delete my work.Please help
    I'm not looking for someone just to say buy a new computer or hard drive- that is not helpful as I have had no problems with AVCHD in the past on the same computer with the same software so i'm looking for reasons to improve playback other than chaging resolution

    I'm currently editing with bigger AVCHD files in another project which play fine at full resolution.
    I've just converted the movs into proxies, 640x480 jpeg2000 and made a sequence from clip settings in pro and it still plays stuttereing playing around 1 frame every 5 frames, in quicktime it plays fine, this is an exmaple of the file I'm using...

  • [Dell E5510] Blank screen during and after boot

    Hello,
    I performed system update some time ago (2 or 3 weeks) and left my computer unused. Today I tried to power on it and I was very surprised, because I didn't see anything on screen during boot and after it. I rebooted computer in fallback mode (I also added "i915.modeset=0" to kernel init args), and I saw command line. Then I updated whole system and rebooted it again - no luck again blank screen during boot and after.
    I rebooted it one more time, but with default kernel (I disabled KMS again via GRUB command line) and I saw systemd output during boot. I teems, that all services were started successfully, because all messages were prefixed with "OK". Then I cloud only use command line, because Gnome 3 was not running under seventh console.
    Any idea what is going one here?

    Hi there Sudarshan21,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • 'Clicking' during vocal recording & playback

    Hi guys, I'm new here and I am having a problem with Garageband and recording live. I am using the TC Electronic Konnekt 8 which seems great, the vocals record at a good level, but there is a 'click' that keeps appearing during recording and playback usually in the louder sections. I don't think it's peaking because the red lights aren't highlighted.
    Your help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks guys,
    Tj

    Hi again,
    I just wanted to say that there is an annoying latency that goes with it too. It's ever so frustrating as I've spent alot of money on the set up and I am trying to record to deadlines. If anyone can please help, I would be most grateful.
    Thank you!

  • Rented Movies pause and skip during playback......................

    I am running iTunes 9.2. The last three movies I have rented pause and then skip ahead 6 seconds during playback. Its like with compujter cannot keep up. It happens at ramdom times but happens often, sometimes two or three times a minute. All movies were completly downloaded before playback. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem with purchased video content.
    I am NOT a happy camper right now. I was really looking forward to purchasing a season pass for one of my favorite programs, but not until this is resolved
    I also can't figure out how to play the itunes purchased videos directly in Quicktime. It used to be possible in preferences, but it looks like that feature is missing from this current version.

  • Short pause in playback when Saving a change in Get Info

    Hello,
    Just upgraded to the current iTunes 8 from 4. Now whenever I save some info in the Get Info screen, +playback pauses+ for a moment as it's written. It didn't happen with the old version. An hour's Googling hasn't shown up anything, although I remember reading something about it in the past.
    Anyone any idea how I avoid this problem in the current version?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Don't update info. for the currently playing track... I don't think there's much you can do apart from that, although it seems that after one edit, subsequent edits of the same track don't trigger a pause. It may also be dependant on whether the edit requires that the full track & tag be rewritten, to accomodate artwork for example, or if it can be achived by updating the header alone.
