i've had to reboot twice in two hours today. dish evidently dislikes me putting nascar in a small pip window. luckily there's not much to record yet, but i did lose beach volleyball which i like much more than nascar. [g] /guy

the one i loved was the replaytv. anyone remember that? i kept it going like 7 years past when it should have died due to the great community that had hacked nearly every aspect of it. moving to the tivo felt like a huge step down and i missed functions like the ad-skip everywhere to this day.

lol! no, tivo were good guys, but even they couldn't crack time-warner. i got to know most of their best techs by their first names. [g] /guy

you won't hear me complaining too much. you should have been at the disaster some years back when tivo went from sd to hd menus. it took them two years and perhaps 12 updates to make most of everything work. it was so bad they had to put an option in so people could stay in sd mode until they...

first, before i launch into a couple of minor annoyances, let me say that i forgive dish all due to the 16 tuners. this alone solved nearly every annoyance i had with the previous hopper. i got tired of rescheduling show so i could watch two programs at once in pip during prime time when it took...

i've been running the multi-view and pip ever since i got mine a couple of day ago and only had a similar problem yesterday. but closing pip didn't fix it, the noise just filled up the whole screen. also, soft or warm resets didn't fix it--i had to pull the plug and wait 30 seconds and it's been...

anyone notice that the /delete/ command doesn't seem to work when you hit /select/ or /stop/ and then select the trans can item? the only reliable way i've found is the /recall/ button or by clicking on the show icon from the recordings screen and selecting /delete/. /guy

anyone else notice that if you have the multi-view up with 4 windows and then hit go into a full screen option like the guide, you'll still get the audio from whichever window you had selected, but you'll get the video in the window at top right overlaid on the guide? it's disconcerting because...

so i have a new question for the group. i have a m43-c1 43" vizio which has five hdmi ports (inputs) and, as you saw in the previous posts, they are not well documented as to specs. but #5 is the 'best' one in that it's 60fps and most likely hmdi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 (?). and it's the only port that...

tks. yeah i was going through all the documentation and dipping into every setting in every menu. perhaps something hung or i was going too fast. i'll take it slower for awhile. /guy

just did. it's holding up for now and i've even back to multi-view. it lost a couple of settings here and there, but nothing major. something glitched pretty badly and i think some memory or buffer got corrupted. unsure why but it sure does change resolutions a lot. /guy

yeah, i'm dead in the water. it's like corrupted video is stuck in buffers or something. guess i'll try the dish support chat and see if they can get someone back out here.

folks, i got major problems. i'm getting snowed out while just watching cable news channels and i can't find any way to recover than a restart. my internet is solid as a rock and i can't find any problems by running the diagnostics. i tried playing a recording and the cable channel is still in...

good point. if it goes out again he can run speedtest. i'm having problems of my own. twice now i've gone into the /settings/remote/ section and changed one or another items and when i backed out of it both my main and pip screens went to total snow. both times it's been completely...

yep, you're right. that 4k section wasn't there last night when i told you to manually search for 4k stuff. funny thing, when i found a list of netflix 4k content last night, it included 'the holiday' and i eagerly went to netflix to put that on my list, but was disappointed to find that it...
