STB fast forwarding recorded tv shows from the Media DVR.

When watching a recorded program on my remote STB in the next room ..Tv programs will always start Fast Forwarding all by itself. I see others are having the samething happen to them too..Hello to the MODs out here..this a glick/bug? Is there a fix for this?

I reported this to a couple techs and even provided video to show what was happening. It always happens during a commercial and it seems to be a Verizon inserted commercial.
So far no one has told me there is a fix for this. It would be nice to hear some feedback from Verizon, but nothing.

That would be a awsome feature. Auto fast forward commercial.

A temp fix is to powercycle the DVR (unplug for at least 45 seconds) and then plug back to allow the DVR to refresh its programmimg, or, call tech support and have them reload the programming. the cause of the issue has to be local, otherwise it would happen to everybody. with that said, try re-seating all coax cable at both ends of each cable. The coax going to the dvr from the wall, the coax from the wall back to the splitter, the coax from the splitter back to the ont. realize that the more connections there are (more splitters, junction boxes, etc.) the greator the chances will be that the coax connections would be an issue.

Although I appreciate the advice... That does nothing to solve the problem. Once I have a recording with the issue I can recreate it at will.

It happened this past Saturday to a newly recorded show.
When it happens again, and it will, I'll record it and forward it to you like before.

Techman28

no this is perfect info and the exact same thing as what Nascar reported in his shots......Nascar do you have any new ones you can send me please?

nascar

Yes. I have one and it is from the Suze Orman Show recorded on 02/01/09.
I'm making the video to send to you now.

Hey Nascar,I got a vhs-c camcorder..and pinnacle studo9 software now here the question..what video format are you using to give Techman28?

OK I sent you a video. Check your email!

I couldn't get the Suze Orman Show to fast forward on its own more than once so I couldn't record it to video for you. I sent a different one I recently recorded.

If anyone is interested I can mail them the video too. It is just under 4 Meg in size and shows how the remote 2500 STB fast forwards on its own. For me it always happens when Verizon inserts a commercial. Either their own commercial or a locally inserted advertisement.

This happens far to frequent for me and I'm surprised it is not happening to others.
