I am getting severe pixelation on almost all channels. The odd thing is its only like this during the day. At night its not nearly as bad. I have a 722.

Time for a L618 thread.

This problem seems to have started with L617. I have a 622 and have had recordings interupted and getting the 005 error about "the smart card not having authoaization".My wife records Fox& Friends On the Fox news Ch. every morning from 5:00 am to 8:00 am. and some mornings when she gets up around 7:00 she turns the tv on ( tv 2) there is the message. She press the up or down button and is asked if you want to stop the recording. She presses no and the the show pops up but parts of it do not get recorded. This does not happen every day but does once or twice a week. I have called Tech support about this but they were of little help.

On several programs, all of which happen to be various CSI shows recorded off the Satellite feed of WCBS-HD, I have had the episodes jump suddenly to the end and bringing up the menu for the end of the recording. I backup the show several seconds, and it continues again for maybe 10 minutes, and the samething happens. No problem so far with any other recordings. This on ViP622 still on L617.

I just noticed I have .18 and have my first major issue in years. I just am not sure when I got it but my timers got corrupted last night and I am not sure if they two are tied.

if you lock up skipping a timed event then welcome to my hell that started last night out of the blue. The unit would 'stick' on the screen as soon as i clicked SKIP. Now the program in the pip window still played and I had audio. After 4 or 5 minutes the unit would reboot. You could not cancel out to get back to full screen. Once skip was clicked I was screwed.

I do recall now that when it rebooted the item WAS skipped but I have no real idea if this is because of the new revision but i have had no problems until last night

and per the advise I got in the thread I created this morning I let the system unplugged for 15 and then i had also had to delete all timers and start adding them back. No idea is this is really fixed or what caused it but if I had money to bet it's .18 related. Ogh last night I tried deleting a few timers and it would lock up doing that too. It even locked up when I was in the timer menu trying to scroll up and down to select the timers i wanted to hose. It just stopped moving around and after a few minutes.....rebooted on me.

So far I seem ok but time will tell
