This is how you can tell its cold

I had to get a replacement receiver sent to me and it's so cold I had to wait for the receiver to warm up before it would even load.

Now that's cold! I've never seen that before.

 

[satjay]

I have heard that before with maybe new tv's being delivered this time of year

 

[whitewolf8214]

Wow that is cold and never seen that before thanks for sharing!!

 

[BobStokesbary]

This is CLASSIC! That is cold.

As a programmer, there are some error messages that you figure will never be seen in actual usage, but you put them in there to explain why you cannot perform an operation. I'll bet they never expected a user to ever see this message.

 

[andrewj0781]

I never seen one either so that's why I posted it.

I have had Both options in the Motorhome, too cold, wait for recvr to warm up ..... as well as the recvr is too hot and needs to cool down before your able to use it ... the heat I think was over 135* or there abouts.

snowy here in south Alabama.

As an installer, where I am, I see this message on every receiver I install.

 

[Aridon]

LMAO never seen that but I am in SE FL. Thanks for sharing OP

 

[StealthMonkey]

Haha, that's pretty funny. An alternative string they considered was "You should move further south."

I absolutely hate hate HATE seeing that screen! I take my receivers in as soon as I know we're good to go on the install/upgrade due to this screen

 

[Enraged newb]

We see that screen and we are in lower Alabama. It's because when a receiver sits outside it's actually colder then what the temp is because of the fact it's made of metal and we have high humidity.

I have only seen it like twice though.

I guess this means, treat it like flatscreens whenever there new in a box in cold below zero weather, plus it would seem dangerous just plugging the receiver when it's been sitting in the car awhile outside, get the shock treatment

Um, really?

Give him a break, he's from Alabama they don't get cold weather often.

 

[Enraged newb]

I am not talking this week. I am talking even 40 degree weather. But when you put it in wet air there is a difference. I can tell you I have heard people north of us don't get the message but at our office we sure do. But normally if we bring in the box at beginning of install it warms up more then enough to work just fine. Don't take long then.

Also here it is obvious it we don't get that message after the first job or 2. Can get toasty then. <3 the south ;P
