When initially booting the DVR box and TV for the first time of the day, the box comes on, the TV comes on and I'm presented with a screen full of green static and an extremely loud noise that can only be described as a high-pitched screeching.
This lasts about 15 seconds, during which time the remote control is non-functional. Then the DVR automatically turns off and re-starts. Then all is fine. It only seems to happen the first time the box is turned is turned on during the day.
What I've done:
Re-booted the box.
Ordered and installed a "new" DVR from Verizon (and it still happens).
Re-booted the "new" DVR
I say "new" DVR because it's new to me; I called VZN about the issue, they told the DVRs they send out aren't actually brand-new, they're REFURBISHED!! So I spend about $400/month for Verizon services and they sent out a DVR that in my case is 4 years old and had been rented by 3 other people!?!? SERIOUSLY????
Still happens no matter what. Anybody else ever heard of this issue?
What am I supposed to do, VERIZON????
