strange, not sure what the issue was yesterday. i was watching a dvr, and did the 4 screen pip, resolution changed to 4k looked great. when i went to either turn off pip, or select 1 of the boxes, the box immediately rebooted. I did this twice, then gave up. The screen goes black, like a resolution change, but i can see the network drop off, so i know its rebooting. these are alll dish channels or dvr, no ota. (i do have the ota but pay for locals also)
has anyone else seen anything like this ??

It has always done that on ours. If I have Multi activated and then go to a DVRed program then try to expand, BOOM-REBOOT. It also does it when I've skipped back on a live program and decide to go full screen.
My favorite feature on the H3 is Multi-View. Only wish it was available on my 4KJ boxes.

Yes, the regular two-channel PIP was originally announced as one of the features that the 4K Joey was supposed to support. They never got around to adding that, either. :(

well, i swapped my splitter, made the h3 no longer seeing 4k, 4 screen wasn't 4k for testing. Once it still crashed. Another time after exiting, i lost any pip, small, swap, nothing. unplugged the h3, then swapped my 4k splitter back in (it reads the capability from my main 4k tv, then is able to also output the second leg as 1080p for my office and bathroom) its been working with 4k 4 screen, i did get a resync touching the arrow once, when the red boarder becomes bigger and brighter.
its great when it works, watching a dvr show say in the bottom right, 3 screens to monitor and easily swap audio to.
seems its glitchy, its easy to see when it reboots, i have a gig switch in that location, and the h3 light drops off right away.
