Poor sound and picture quality on CNN and MSNBC

[SRCMom]

Have been experiencing poor sound and pictures on CNN (both channels 100 and 600 HD) and MSNBC (channels 103 and 603 HD) for days.

I have the same problem on the same channels.  Additionally, I also have a problem with the sound synchronizing with the picture, I.e. lip movement is a split second off.

If you have VMS/IPC, audio sync is a known issue.

Hoping to see fix in Jan.

I have the same problem with audio sync.  I spoke to a Verizon tech support person yesterday on the phone and he was unaware of any problem, or a future fix.  Perhaps you should spread the word to the tech support people.

This is a major issue with HDMI cables on the VZ 1100 server/box.  Fix is to press the hold button on the remote control then the play button which is immediately above it.  This corrects the delay on the sound. There is also a second temporary fix for starting the picture.  This involves pressing and holding the “lit” power button on the 1100 server/box for 15 seconds.  VZ says this all started with s software update in late October connected with Netflix.  They expect to correct both with their next software update sometime in January.  They do not know when.  I was told this is a huge issue affecting customers in many eastern states.  Impression I have is this could invoke tens of thousands of customers.  For the information I noted above I made at least ten phone calls along with a new 1100 box, router, HDMI cable and battery.  None of this corrected the problems.  I also had a technician visit along with BestBuy’s Geek Squad. Verizon needs to tontact it’s subscribers and explain what is going on.

I have the same problem with CNN. All of the other channels I watch seem fine. I’m using a TiVo with a Verizon cable card. Mostly picture issues with occasional audio cut outs.
