HD Set Top Boxes

Specialist - Level 2

I still need your help with my problem.   The problem exists only on the Tv's with HD boxes, and is iintermittent.   Program Guide disappears sometime every day.  We also sometimes experience a black screen which says   ( "No Signal)  This is momentary, and then the set top box resets.  Today, while watching a movie the picture froze on the screen several times momentarily.

We have 4 tvs.  Two of them are on standard set top boxes and they are working fine.  There are problems with the sets on HD boxes.  One box is a Motorola QIP7100 2and the other is a Motorola  QIP7100 1.

We have tried checking connectiions, resetting the router (ActionTec  MI 424-WR Rev.E )

We have checked all connections to make sure that none were loose.  Actually did tighten one a bit.  We have rebooted our router, Rebooted the set top boxes and did autofix on both of them.  I also called Verizon support.  A nice young man tried to help me.  He re -performed the above fixes.  Rebooting the set top boxes fixes the guide problem for a while but we lose it daily.  At this point, the young man could offer no further help.

We believe that if the router were at fault, our standard TVs would also exhibit the problems, but they don't..

We have come to the conclusion that it is not the set top boxes, but may be a software problem.  We have read in the forums of several people who got new boxes only to have the problem persist.

We greatly appreciate any help we can get!!!

I am having the same problem with my HD QIP 7100 1. I don't have the problem with my 2 QIP 2500 or my HD QIP 6200 2. How do I get someone to tell me how to get to this private support board for a possible solution?

You do not currently have any posts on the private support board. This board is a place where we move certain posts to that is private to only Verizon Employees and you. This keeps other customers from seeing potential account information that may be on there. Since you are having this problem, we will create a new post for you.

I am having the exact same issue with an QIP7100 2 HD box.  We didn't have any problems with this box for the first 5-6 months after receiving it, but began having this issue approximately 4-6 weeks ago.  This tv is essentially not watchable at this point.  Every show we attempt to watch is interrupted 3 times or more.  Since apparently I am not the only one experiencing this problem, I would love to hear what is being done to resolve it.

I am sorry to hear about the problems. Are you using an HDMI connection? Have you tried updating the firmware of your TV?

Our sets have been working fine for the last two days.  So, we believe it was a Verizon problem which has been fixed with the help of Anthony!

Since we haven't heard back from you as requested in your private support case, it appears assistance is no longer required. If you need any future help with your Verizon service, please make a post here on the forums so we can assist.

Yes, I am using an HDMI cable.  All connections have been checked and are fine.  The tv is 7 months old and there are no firmware updates for it at this time.

It might be an HDMI issue. Does the same thing happen with you use component cables?

I am also experiencing a similar issue with my HD set top box. It loses a signal, then resets multiple times while watching. And every time we power it on, instead of automatically displaying the channel it was previously on, it now goes through a boot sequence (shows the verizon screen like after resetting the box).  

We only started seeing this issue a few weeks ago.  Nothing on our configuration end has changed - still using HDMI cables to connect the box to a receiver.

I am need of whatever solution has been provided to this problem. I constantly need to reset my 3 HD boxes in my home because it doesn't have info in the guide and getting no internet connectivity. About twice a day I am unplugging these boxes to reconnect for the guide info and on demand menu.
