Solution to slow navigation Motorola QIP 2500-P3

Have you been having slow navigation with the old sd stb Motorola QIP 2500-P3
I have found that if you connect the stb via video cable instead of rf cable the speed improves dramatically, still not perfect but much better than connecting via cable connection.Try it you should see an improvement.
Best Regards
Tim

No, apparently not all of them are aware of this problem since the tech that I talked to actually shipped me a replacement box after being online with me for over an hour troubleshooting.  Truth be told, I knew changing the connection method to the TV wouldn't make a difference, but I was willing to try anything at that point.  I already have the HD boxes for the living room, basement, etc. and even those boxes have been slow to respond and freeze up lately.  That seems intermittent though and a power cycle always fixes that.  Annoying as hell, but at least there's a workaround.  The SD box is always slow.
The "free" SD box is in my bedroom.  I hardly use it, but it would still be nice if it worked properly.

  • QIP 2500-3 LED CODE problem

    The motorola QIP 2500-3 STB I own showing 'E 11' on the led screen and not showing anything on the screen with the coxial unplug. Currently,  there is something wrong with my cabling of coax in side the wall right now so I can't plug it in.  say if I keep it unplug, is the sympton described above normal? if not, what does it means?  is it fixable by myself? I have followed the reset procedure by unplug it and plug it in like the verizon official procedure for resetting, no affect whatsoever. any reply will be appreciated.

    0 is usually the indicator that the box has not been activated yet. However with the coax dissconnected there is no signal getting to the box to tell it what its status is. So its got the 0 display because it cant display anything else. Without the cable connected, it doesnt know what time it is, if it is activated or not, or anything else. This will correct when you get the coax reconnected and it can get the signal again.

    You would need to update to an HD STB or HD DVR. With your new flat screen TV it would provide a much better picture on the HD channels. What most do not realize is, you can have an HD STB on an SD TV, and receive the HD channels that are not otherwise visable with the QIP-2500 SD STB. I would pay the $5 more a month and get the HD box. All the STBs and DVRs went up in cost by $2, so the HD STB is $11.99. Every bundle includes HD channels, but they are not available with the older SD boxes.
    Save the $20 shipping cost if you have a Verizon FiOS store near you. You can ship the old box back at any UPS. But be sure to get a receipt with tracking information. It is better to return the STB at a store so you get paperwork that has the serial number on it. Also once you turn in the QIP-2500, you can not order another. They are being phased out.

  • QIP 2500 STB shuts off when accessing VOD

    My QIP 2500 STB shuts down when you try to play any On Demand selection. You hit play and then the unit powers off flashes some codes on the display of the box itself, not the tv screen, and then powers back up. The codes go by so fast I haven't been able to write them down. It was happening the day of the install, but the tech put an amplifier on the line to try and boost signal for two troublesome outlets up stairs and then it was able to play VOD.  Any one with any experiences like this?

    Yeah it happens... it is likely a bum box... If you wanna try some stuff on your own
    try simply unpluging the power from the box for a minute or so...
    If need be, unplug the power to the box, unscrew the COAX from the box to the wall, and check the pin in the middle to make sure it is not bent or broken... Do the same at the wall jack, if applicable... If all is well, plug it all back up, turn it on and test it out
    If need be, reset the router with a paperclip or pen in the reset hole on the back of the router for 15 seconds, reboot the STB and try again.
    If all else fails, contact Tech support at 1 888 553 1555

  • Can we please have a FINAL solution to slow internet in Snow Leopard?

    I've read so many discussions but none of the proposed solutions work for me.
    I installed Snow Leopard a few days ago and ever since internet pages take forever to load.
    Before SL my internet was running perfectly. I have the same strength connectivity, my router didn't budge and I didn't even move my laptop location. I'm convinced it is SL and I am not happy that I may have to uninstall it and have wasted $30.
    I also couldn't believe that there is no way to contact Apple in a way they can respond. They're just leaving the solutions up to regular users and maybe offering an update if a few million people complain.
    Anyways, does anyone have a solution to Slow Leopard?

  • Old 2500 box and slow navigation

    does anyone know what it takes to have new boxes sent to replace 6 year old qip2500 boxes we've had since we signed up?  using the guide and any navigation is basically a one second or so delay between press and response from the system.. 
    do they send boxes out to replace old equipment?  i read this in another post
    "If someone wants the guide full screen with HD graphics, they simply need to call in, tweet, post on forum or facebook and we will overnight a replacement."
    --- and ---
    "What I am saying is that if someone is having a compatibility issue with an older 2500 or 6xxx series due to the 1.9 rollout, we will upgrade them to a newer 2500 or a 7100 or 7216 for free. They will not get a free upgrade to a 7232."
    how do we go about getting free replacements if they never respond when we fill out the form asking for them?  I can't call without being able to use a telephone.. i don't get why it's so hard to ask for them in the form and have them sent..   i just went through all the generic fixes with a tech person (resetting router etc..), but this isn't the problem.. i have old boxes that need to be updated to function correctly.  He told me he could forward me to billing and that there might be a charge for them.  Why should I have to pay because their equipment isn't giving me proper service?  This slow guide is enough for me to cancel my service period.

  • Solution for Slow Open and Save As Dialogs under 10.4.4

    I don't know how many others out there may be experiencing this, but...
    I noticed that -- after updating to 10.4.4 -- I started getting really long delays when accessing Open and Save As file dialogs -- I mean, sometimes it would take 5 to 15 seconds for the dialog to appear!
    I did a lot of troubleshooting, and finally hit upon the solution a couple of nights ago:
    It's the Desktop iDisk!
    Going into the .Mac Preference Pane and turning off "iDisk Syncing" has totally eliminated the slowdown.
    I think it has something to do with DiskMirrorAgent, since that has frozen on me a couple of times and prevented logoff until I force-quit it.
    'Hope this helps.
    -- Steve

    Hi Matt,
    One can always manually mount the iDisk when needed, and it still syncs, albeit in real time, and kind of herky-jerky.
    As for the slowdown when multiple items are mounted, I believe I'm describing a different issue, related to DiskMirrorAgent. If and when you get this slowdown (with desktop iDisk syncing enabled), check Activity Monitor, and you'll see DiskMirrrorAgent sucking up most of the CPU time for the time it takes before the dialog appears. My record time was about 25 seconds.
    As for slow Open and Save As dialogs when multiple items are mounted: I customarily have several external FireWire drives mounted, and often a couple of CDs and/or DVDs (I produce a radio program, and have several optical drives), and I have had no Open or Save As dialog slowdowns since at least 10.3.x, maybe earlier.
    Even when the dialog opens to a directory on a CD that has spun down, the opening time on an Open or Save As dialog is nearly instantaneous for me, suggesting that Mac OS X 10.4.x is doing a good job of caching the data.
    But I hear you about the "old days," when it used to take forever to get a dialog to appear, just because a CD was mounted! Maddening!

  • Can't get My Book AV 500 esata drive working with Motorola QIP-7216

    Scenario1: When I connect external drive to DVR, I'm prompted on TV that external drive is connected, and it will be erased. Select "accept" or "reject". I click "accept", and nothing happens.
    Scenario2: I go to "Enable More Storage", I follow the steps, and set-top box reboots. When the DVR comes back up, I still don't see the external drive under "Recorder Status".
    Verizon tech support has been little help. When I first called, the rep had not idea about external storage functionality. The 2nd rep that I chatted with, replaced my DVR, this didn't help. The 3rd rep that I chatted with told me they couldn't issue commands to my DVR because it was during off hours.
    So I've tried two DVRs, and no success.
    Tech details:
    Western Digital My Book AV 500
    Motorola DVR QIP-7216-1, Release: 1.9, Build: 10.95
    Please help!

    Hey, sorry you're having difficulties getting the external storage to work properly! I am not familiar with this particular drive, though I have heard of it. Is it a brand new drive you're using specifically for additional storage, or have you used it with a different device/computer previously? I'm wondering if it may be due to how the hard drive is partitioned/formatted. My suggestion would be to refer to the manufacturer instructions for formatting the drive within windows if possible, and once that's done, try it again on your DVR. Feel free to post back here or shoot me a PM to discuss further. Thank you!

  • Extremely slow navigation in full screen mode and other erratic behavior

    Hi,
    Is it me or every new release of PSE feels heavier and more bloated than the previous?
    I have PSE9 running on a dual core, one year old dell PC with W7 with 4GB of RAM. I have the maximum amount of recommended memory alloted to the program (set in preferences).
    Ever since I upgraded, moving forward (or backward) to the next pic (via pagedown, or up) through the filmstrip in fullscreen mode has become very, very sluggish. Sometimes it just will not move to the next image even when thi image is in the same directory as the previous one.
    Is this sluggish navigation normal? Or is there something that I can do to improve performance??
    I look at images in fullscreen mode to decide which ones to edit and which ones to delete so I use this feature a lot. Another example of sluggish-- or in this case erratic-- behavior happens when looking at an image in full screen and then I decide to edit the image. I load the image to the edito by clicking the editor icon on the left options pane. Even if the editor is already open, sometimes it brings the editor to the ferground with the image ready to be edited and sometimes it does not; I have to cycle with alt-tab to make the editor active. Why this erratic behavior? Then, after saving an image and selecting the close button, you are supposed to be returned to the organizer... well this happens sometimes, other times I have to manually swithc using alt-tab.
    Please help, this is very annoying.

    I don't understand whether you have a Referenced-Masters Library or a Managed-Masters Library. Drives slow as they fill and with a Managed-Masters Library sooner or later the internal drive will become overfilled. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on an external drive and the Aperture Library on the internal drive.
    iMacs, laptops and Minis are by definition limiting to heavy Aperture usage, so work carefully to optimize setup and workflow.
    First is to max the RAM and make sure the hard drive stays less than 70% full. Restart the iMac prior to a major Aperture session and only have Aperture open. You should also investigate to see if a substantially more powerful video card is available at reasonable price.
    Set Preview size to be exactly screen size and build Previews manually when the box is otherwise not being aggressively used.

  • A Solution to Slow Computers (People with Gmail)

    As many other people, I noticed a HUGE SLOWDOWN when I installed Mavericks.  I have been trying to figure out what is causing it.  I've used the suggestions that many people have made here and none have helped.
    I noticed from the very first installation of Mavericks that my MAIL app was acting strangely.   I  use GMAIL as my primary email source.  From time to time, I would try to quit MAIL and it would not do it.  I would have to do a FORCE QUIT.  I also noticed that a HUGE NUMBER of emails were being downloaded from Gmail's servers to  the MAIL app.
    So, as a last resort, I quit MAIL and have been leaving it OFF.  I just go on it quickly and then QUIT.
    My system is now running almost normally.  I believe that GMAIL in MAIL is causing the slow downs. 
    Even Safari, that was running so slowly and oftentimes not loading sites, is back to normal.
    So, I hope this temporary solution helps others until the 10.9.1 Mavericks Update comes out.  It appears to me that

    I tried it before I read this. I initiated airplane mode, synced at like 12pm...it backed up for almost an hour BUT it's still syncing (It's 4:07pm now) and it's been on calenders for almost an hour! In my options it's set to only sync calenders from a day old and forward!

  • Slow navigation in the Open dialog

    Here at work, we've just updated all of our Macs to OS X 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion), the latest version as of this writing, from Snow Leopard.  This has brought about a very unwanted change in Illustrator CS6's behavior.
    Previously, whenever opening a file in Illustrator, navigating through a folder with hundreds of files by typing the first few letters of the file name we're after, it would take us quickly to that file.  If it was slow to do so, then it was because the dialog was trying to generate a thumbnail preview of each file that we were hitting along the way.  No big deal, since we could easily hit the down-arrow next to "Preview" so that the dialog would not try to generate a preview image for each file that was selected.
    Now, however, the preview window takes up the rest of the Open dialog and it cannot be closed.  For example, as we type the filename "test.ai" in a folder with hundreds of files in it, the selection would stop at the first file with the letter "t" as the first letter, take about five seconds to generate a preview of that file, then move on to the next file, which is the fist one that begins with "te"—stopping at it to generate a preview, of course—then on to "tes", etc.  This means that it can take upwards of a good 15–20 seconds for the dialog to finally reach the file we need before we can finally hit <return> on it to open it up.  Please note that this behavior is not present in InDesign CS6, however.
    Is there any way to turn off this "previewing" of files that are highlighted in Illustrator CS6's Open dialog on Mountain Lion?
    UPDATE:  We have tried using each of the four different view options at the top of the Open dialog—Thumbnail, Details, List, etc.—with the same result.  Even in the Detail view, which doesn't have a Preview pane, still takes several seconds to move from one file to the next as you're typing out the target filename.  Any thoughts on what is causing this, then?

    Hi,
    Is there any error message when you try to map network Drive manually? It would be better to provide more details about error message.
    Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by Network Connection problem, please make sure your Client PC could access to Network Drive PC.
    In addition, please check Network Drive PC security setting, if there is any firewall policy prevent this operation.
    If still no use, please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.

    There is no error.  There is no connectivity problem.  THe drives map automatically and always have.  I can open up File Explorer and browse these drives all I want.  I can open up Word and browse to these drives just fine.
    However, when I open certain programs, and click File | Open, the mapped network drives just simply aren't there.  I only see C and D and that's it.

  • Can I turn off Time Display on my Motorola QIP 7232/2 at night without unplugging?

    I would like to be able to turn off the Time Display on my STB at night. Right now, I have to place a book in front of the display as it is in my bedroom and lights up the room. The QIP 7200 STB in another room goes totally blank when the TV and STB are shut off with the remote. Any help would be appreciated.

  • No Audio from out from Motorola QIP 7232

    I have a QIP 7232 DVR connected to a Denon AVR3311 receiver for my family room. I have sound currently through my HDMI connection to my Zone 1 speakers. But to be able to enable Zone 2 sound I need to connect optical or RCA audio connections. To verify that my Denon is working properly I have Zone 2 sound from my other sources, a DVD and Apple TV, not my DVR. I have tried everything, switched boxes, tried RCA, Optical and coaxial audio connections, changed settings inside the Denon interface. Nothing.
    Any ideas?

  • WRT54G Extremely slow navigating pages @ 192.168.1.1 - Could this be a network card problem?

    Friend of mine is having Internet connection issues on his main PC which is hard wired to the router, He's using Comcast cable (18Mbit) and all of a sudden today the speed dropped to dialup speeds, literally, however its ONLY this main pc with the speed issue, there are 2 other computers connected wireless to the router and they are running full speed when testing on speedtest.net
    While troubleshooting the problem I tried bypassing the router and the speed issue still remains, So I can pretty much rule out the router, But as part of my troubleshooting whenever I try to access the router's configuration pages via 192.168.1.1 it is VERY slow at responding.
     For example when hitting enter after typing 192.168.1.1 it takes around 45 seconds to display the router configuration page, and at that point clicking on any other tabs takes 30 - 45 seconds as well to respond.
    So my main question with this post is, is it possible his network card went bad? What would cause really slow access to the router configuration?
    The PC is running Win 7 Ultimate 32bit and Ive tried running the network troubleshooter, uninstalled his network card in device manager / reinstalled the drivers but nothing seems to be working.
    I also ran Malware Bytes and scan results were clean. 
    Any ideas appreciated!
