I checked my old one this morning while on the phone with the engineer at WAGA.It frooze and rebooted.I hung up with him and hooked up the new one got it authorized and scanned the dig channels and called him back with the news that it no longer was freezing up.They had not done anything to the system in 4 days.This all transpired over 20 mins.So,WSB and WAGA fixed the PSIP issue at the same time this morning?I don't think so.Maybe it was my 811.
Do you still have your old box? Did you try removing your OTA channels and doing a rescan. It is hard to tell what exactly is happening there. Based on the fact that the 811 that you plug in works could mean a couple of possibilities in my mind.
1) conflict between what is saved in the previous 811 and the updated PSIP stream. If there is a conflict, resetting to factor defaults and doing a rescan might have fixed the issue.
2) Possible hardware difference between the 811s.
3) Different software versions? I would doubt it.
Like I said, given that this happen right when the PSIP stream changed points to it was PSIP change related. There is a difference between the 811s. The one you had in service saw the old stream the new one had not.
Without doing some tests further troubleshooting it is hard to say what the issues is. The point I was making is I doubt it is cased by 811 hardware differences. Most likely this issue was created by a change in the stream data.
The first step when something like this happens is to try removing all channels and doing a rescan. If that does not work. try setting the unit back to factory defaults and do a hard reset. There is another step, but not one for the faint of heart. If all those steps are done and the issue is still there, then it would point to possible hardware differences between the boxes. Not sure if you did any of these steps Pete. Did you?
