Picture freezes and starts constantly

when watching a show it runs normal for a few mins then stops and starts then stops and starts.. no matter what channel i am watching . it has been going on for a long time and i have been dealing with it because i have not had the time to wait on the phone for someone to answer. I tried checking all connections all the wires are secure but it is still doing it . and it is getting annoying . Do I need a new box? please contact me and let me know.. I also had the automated system do a reset , still doing it.
thank you 

It means that something is wrong with the signal at that STB. Either there is a loose connection or bad coax or splitter somewhere. Check all the connections and make sure they are tight. If that doesn't fix the issue you will probably need a service call.

  • Z3 compact freezes and reboots constantly with large music collection on sd card.

    Hi 
    On adding my music collection(72GB) to the sd card via the usb cable, I've run into a pretty serious issue/bug with my z3 compact. This renders the phone useless.   All is well as long as I never reboot/shutdown the phone after adding music. I've successfully used the walkman app for a number of days with the full music colletion present.  Once the phone is shutdown,  on restart it gets hot, battery starts to drain significantly( +- 10% in about 4min) and it then freezes and reboots constantly. I've tried a number of things to attempt to recover.
    removing the sd card, leaving it out and restarting the phone
    removing the music files from the sd card 
    factory reset but keeping the music files on the sd card
    I've used mp3diags to scan my collection for broken files, there were some minor issues with id3 tags which I've corrected but no broken files. 
    None of these actions improved matters, the only solution seems to be to erase data from the sd card and factory reset the phone. Then add the files again. This is quite time consuming and very very frustrating.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance 

    Have a look at this post....sounds very much like what you are experiencing dont you think

    That would indicate a network issue.
    Reboot ATV and router
    Make sure DNS is set to auto
    Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
    Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

  • 40S51U Picture Freezes and TV Restarts

    When I am watching TV, sometimes the picture freezes and the audio will continue for about 5 seconds. The TV will then shut itself off and try to restart. The LED flickers a faint red, then blinks green 3 times. The TV turns itself back on and is normal again. This happens when I watch Netflix. I only use Netfllix and the HDMI but it only seems to freeze when I watch Netflix. It doesn't happen everytime, but on days that it does, it seems like the problem reoccurs every 5-10 minutes if I try to continue watching.

    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 631-3811.

    recently recieved a second hand Iphone 4. I was testing the Camera, the rear one worked perfectly fine, however when i pressed the switch button the front facing camera shutter freezed and started flickering. In order to get it back to the rear camera I have to reset my settings. Does anyone know why the front facing camera is doing this and how i can fix it.
    iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

    I would ask the person you received it from if they've had this issue.
    You can completely close out of the camera, then do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until yo usee the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

  • Thunderbird freezes and lags constantly

    I have been using Firefox for years and loved it above any other email client - until it started lagging a few months back. I don't know what caused it, it just started happening one day and never stopped after several updates and a few un-installs, it always returns.
    The problem is pretty simple, every few minutes, at random periods of time (can be 10 seconds, can be 5 minutes) the program freezes and doesn't allow me to do anything at all. Sometimes, especially if I insist and keep clicking or typing, the screen whitens out a bit and I get a "non responding" message next to the program name. This lag can last anywhere between 10 seconds and 1-2 minutes.
    I use it with Gmail and I should tell you that I have 100s of folders, but my inbox is clean. I never go over 100 emails in it at right now I have 4. I can't avoid the use of so many folders because of my work dynamic, I need to assign a new folder to every new client and several sub-folders for every provider associated with such client (I'm a travel agent).
    I used to have Lightning installed but I removed it thinking it might be the cause of the problem - it wasn't.
    I hope I can find a solution to it, I don't want to switch back to Outlook :(
    Thanks!

    If all of the above does not help, try what I did.
    Windows explorer to C:\USERS
    RIGHT click on your account and choose "Properties"
    In the General tab, select the Advanced button
    Uncheck the box "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"
    Select OK, and then select APPLY
    When asked, allow this to apply this to all sub-folders. Click OK to close this window.
    THIS WILL STOP THE HIDDEN APPS FOLDER FROM BEING INDEXED, WHICH WILL STOP WINDOWS FROM INDEXING YOUR EMAILS (which is the cause of the problem).
    Next, go into your account folder and select just the folders you want indexed.
    Repeat the above process of those folders (this time choosing to index the the folder and its sub-folders).
    Ta da. Worked like a charm for me.

  • MacBook Display Intermittently Freezes and Starts Fading to White (Refers)

    I have an issue with my MacBook display freezing and gradually fading to grey/white. The issue appears to be shared by other users.

    Having the same exact issue as OP with my 2007 Macbook Pro. I'll be contacting Apple tomorrow to see if I can get it fixed (w/o a warranty). Right now I have a clamp on the right side of the screen squeezing the bezel to keep the screen active.

  • Macbook pro freezing and start up problems

    Hi, I have a 2011 model macbook pro that has recently started freezing without an apparent reason. When it freezes I can still move the mouse around but everything I click is unresponsive, and remains so untill I force it to reboot. In adition to this I have also been having problems when it boots up some times, in which it gets to the pale blue startup screen and then gets stuck there, and again it remains unresponsive untill I forc it to shut down and restart.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

  • Qosmio F60 - hibernation freezing and start up issues

    Hi...
    Problems began when my computer goes into hibernation mode and when i press the power button to start up again, it remains frozen.
    I then have to hold down the power button to turn it off and on again.
    Option comes up to start normally or safe mode.
    Either way comp freezes in the middle of loading and I have to hold the power button down to turn comp off
    Upon restart new msg saying there was a problem in start up and asks if I want to fix the problem
    I click yes and a number of things have happened on different occasions:
    1) computer fixes itself and loads normally
    2) computer says it can't fix the problem and continues to load properly
    3) computer freezes in the middles of loading or during the fixing process
    4) computer fixes and restarts but freezes in the middle of reloading
    i often have to go through this half a dozen times before i can load up normally
    incidentally my norton antivirus has been coming up with msgs saying i need to reactivate it (my subscription has not run out) or an erro has occured
    have done a full virus scan- none found
    is this a virus problem? do i need to do a system recovery? any other advice?
    help much appreciated

    Hello
    Have you already tried updating the BIOS as Akuma and Xardas suggested? I had a similar problem on my Qosmio F60 that battery wasnt always detected properly. So I checked the forum and tried updating the BIOS from official Toshiba website. This has worked!!! Newest BIOS version has improved the battery control so I had no problems with hibernation anymore.
    But before you update the BIOS you should do the following:
    -Close all running programs (also antivirus and firewall)
    -Make sure you are logged in as Administrator
    -Unzip all files from zip archive
    I hope it helps :)

  • Mac Freezing and Starting up Issues

    My Mac G5 has been acting funny lately, every time I leave it alone for more than 2 or 3 hours, when I come back it's frozen. This can be very bothersome but it's also not the only problem. When i try to boot up my Mac again, it goes to a gray screen and just sits there, then the fan will start up and create a loud noise. Usually I have to put the OSx instal disc in, hold down C, and then when it goes to the install menu I click on "Select Startup Disc" then tell it to use my harddrive. MY computer then will retsart and everything will be fine..... that is untill it freezes again 3 hours later.
    Now I've tryed verifying and repairing the disc drive, and choosing the startup disc under preferences. But nothing seems to work! Please help me, this is getting very annoying.
    I have an iMacG5, single CPU at 1.8 GHz. I've already ran the Hardware test disc and it said there were no problems, I need help! Ive got 3 projects I need to have done this summer and alot of people are getting mad at me because I can't work on them.

    Assuming "repairing permissions" reported that your HD was repaired & OK, except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all peripherals from your computer & try the suggtions (if you have not already done so) in the following:
    Mac 101 Lesson 1: Computer Crises . Scroll down & click on the "My Mac stopped responding (aka "crashed" or "froze")" link.
    If the above does not work, you may need a 3rd party utility. A few are mentioned and/or recommended in the following link:

    Good Luck!

  • Acrobat on Mac OS X Yosemite Freezes and Hangs Constantly

    I am so frustrated with my Acrobat Pro performance that I'm seriously considering moving to something else to manage/edit PDF files.
    I have a pretty new 27-inch iMac with plenty of memory, which had a clean install of Yosemite (not migrated from another computer) last spring. I loaded Acrobat on it, and ever since, I've had problems with freezing, unexpected closing, and general slow performance.
    In particular, nearly any time I select text, I get the rainbow ball for a second or two after I've let off the mouse, and sometimes I have to click again to get the application to respond again and get the text selected. The program crashes ALL THE TIME, and it hangs on other tasks besides selecting text.
    I've tried the "reduce the number of recent files" trick, which did nothing (except make it exceptionally annoying to use Acrobat, since I actually use the "recent files" function a lot to get back into whatever project I was working on).
    What else can I do???? It's driving me crazy!!!!
    Details:
    Acrobat version 11.0.10 • Build 11.0.10.32
    Mac OS X 10.10.2
    32 GB 1600 mhz DDR3 RAM

  • Internet stops and starts constantly

    Every 2 hours or so my Internet stops working and about 30 seconds later starts working again anyone have any solutions?
    None of the lights on my Bt hub change they all stay blue which is why I don't understand I was given one of the new hubs to stop this from happening but nothings changed.

    Have a look on the hub logs and see if the PPP0A session is reconnecting. I had the same issue on one occassion and it was happening every 10 minutes, in my case it was down to a IP profile being stuck higher than it should have been causing too many errors and resetting the PPP0A connection without needing to resync.

  • Audio freezing and picture pixelates

    Starting about 3 weeks ago after the local snow storm, I am experiencing constant picture freezes and a pixelating picture when it comes back.  This occurs on all TVs and it occurs during the initial watching as well as DVR playback.  It is occuring on all channels as well.  Sometimes a show will go for 30-40 minutes without it happening and other times it occurs every 3-5 minutes.

    This sounds like a loose coax connection problem.  The symptoms you discribe are often experienced when connectors are not seeting properly, and are often intermittent in nature.  Suggest you start at the STB coax connector and work you way back to the ONT, checking each connector for tightness and proper seating.

  • Podcasts and tv shows videos stop and start when playing.  The Audio flows fine, but video freezes for a moment and continues.  Do you know what I can do to fix?

    When watching a podcast or tv program on itunes the video freezes and starts.  The audio still flows just fine.  Do you know what the solution might be?

    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.
