DVR STB will not hold the display of the time of day.

I am new to FIOS. I have a DVR Set Top Box for my HD TV. I prefer to see the time of day displayed. I set this option in Menu/Settings/Set Top/Display and it works OK UNTIL you change the channel. Then it displays the new channel and DOES NOT revert back to the time of day as it is supposed to do.

Called Verizon. They reset the box. It worked OK for about 30 minutes then went back to the same problem. I don't want them to reset it again because when they did it wiped all of my favorites.

Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.

Try rebooting the STB and then change the clock setting and change it back. That worked for me when i had this issue. I have seen this reported a couple of times and most of the time if this fix didnt work, the issue resolved itself within a couple of days.

Also, it should be noted that with the 1.7IMG release they changed the way the front display functioned. It now changes to show the channel number at every program change and then reverts back to showing the clock after about 2 minutes.

I'm having this same issue with my non-DVR HD-STB. It was working fine up unitl the recent power outage. I tried resetting it, works for a bit, then gets "stuck" on the channel number instead of the time.

How do you REBOOT the STB?

I am having the same problem, and going through the menu and changing it there doesn't help--it changes it right away, but stops working when I change the channel.
