Quantum Media Server Freezing up

I keep having issues with my media server freezing up and rebooting. It has happened 6 times in the past month and jus this morning again. The most recent this morning included freezing up and when I was tying to waych a program on anothe TV is would give me the msg " tying to connect to the media server" then a 3 minute count down. A msg then appears "Returning to normal viewing channels" When it returns it goes to a channel that I had not been watching.

I reboot the server but it still repeats this cycle periodically. Any one have experience like this? I wonder if this is a software update that has not taken completely.

I'm having the same problem ever since I upgraded to Quantum FIOS. I had absolutely no problem with the older equipment. But the Verizon technicians are telling me its the coax wiring. This is a new home with RG6 coax and FIOS was installed prior to moving in. So I expect the wiring to be up to spec. They also tell me that it is a problem from Router to Media Server. These two devices are connected through a passive splitter also installed by the wiring contractor. And the length of the cable is less than 10 feet for either of them. So I don't suspect my wiring. This problem seems to be most problematic with Video On Demand, meaning that it is streaming the video. I watch in HD format. I plan on testing this with Standard Definition format tonight. The media server has already been replaced and that didn't take care of the problem. So I don't know what else it could be. I'm having a technician come out to the house because I've exhausted all other options.

OBviously it could be something wrong with your boxes. But the most common problem is still with the COAX, Splitters, connectors. Check them all just in case. THere is now a detailed screen on the network but I don't now what represents good readings on it. (menu/customer support/connected device status. Select the VMS and advanced info. Look through the pages). Good luck.

They keep telling me it could be a PON card and I'm the only one having the issue. Have you also had random pixelization on only a few channels.

See my post titled Frustrated.

Good News! A Verizon Tech came to the house on a service call and fixed the issue. When the cables were installed by the builder that terminated in the home run box, an analog splitter was used. The Tech explained that the new system ie, Quantum required a digital splitter to properly communicate with the units in the house. He replaced the splitter and it works great.
