622 - Pauses but then goes live

[Eric_C]

I've had this problem with my 622 for about 3 weeks now.

I've rebooted it with no luck.

If I pause TV for under say 2 minutes, as soon as I hit play or pause again instead of picking right now it jumps for a second and then goes right to live.

Normally it will go back about a .25 to .5 second but now it just goes live.

A real PITA...watching the Tiger's game...wife walks in to ask a question, pause, 20 seconds later I hit play, and miss something.

If I leave it paused for a long time it works fine. Items off the DVR work fine.

Anyone seen this before?

This is the infamous L3.65 pause bug, which we documented pretty extensively in this thread.

E* is aware of it, but they have not issued a fix yet; probably not considered serious enough for a separate release. (Although many don't think its a "minor" bug.

Oh, by the way, there is a workaround. Instead of hitting pause to restart play, skip back 15 seconds, or even just rewind for a split second, and then hit play, and it won't jump to live.

Thanks for the work around...minor my ***.

Obviously no one at E* is married and has had their wife pop in on them, regularly, while watching something. Hell I pause for 10-15 seconds at least 5-6 times during a football game.

Its weird. When people first started posting about this bug, I checked my 622 and noticed I had it as well. But now pause is working fine as long as I wait for the counter to start. It could be at one, and I'll unpause it and it will pick up where I left off. It doesn't jump at all. So I thought maybe I received a software update, but no, still at 3.65.....

This is still an issue for me

Does anyone, other than myself, still have this problem?

Nobody but me?

Does anyone, other than myself, still have this problem?

Am I still the only person still having this problem?
I can sometimes pause for 10-15 seconds and when I unpause it goes live.
