Hi corky2,When does this happen? While watching TV, recording TV or both?The box is very sensitive and the IR remitter needs to be in the 'exact' location of the sensor, which is very critical. So, try to place the box to an optimized position.For more information, see the link below:Troubleshoot Guide downloading problems in Windows Media CenterTV-on-your-computer-Understanding-TV-signals-and-TV-tunersYou best bet is to check with your device manufacturer for more help, as this sounds like setup issue.Thanks and Regards:Ajay KMicrosoft Answers Support EngineerVisit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv Just installed this unit (already have Standard TIVO).There is no comparison between the software, with TIVO the hands down(thumbs up) winner. But since TIVO does not seem to offer any solutionfor cable based HD, this will have to do. The dual tuner HD capailityis nice, even though the software is poor.I do have some questions about features that maybe someone can answer.I would like to know if the behaviors are related to settings, errorsor limitations.1) How do you play from beginning of a show? Sometimes when picking arecording from the 'LIST', 'play from beginning' is an option. Most ofthe time it is not, especially when the program is still in progress.Is there a remote key combination that allows this?2) While watching a recorded show that is still in progress, the unitswitches to LIVE TV when the show is done recording, even if I amwatching the middle of the show.
Is this normal, an error ora setting?3) Any way to keep the power from going off?4) Any discrete IR codes for power, HD format?5) I have noticed unsynchronized sound and picture. So far onlynoticed when recording 2 shows at once.6) Lots of digital glitches with picture. Is this related tomultitasking (recording 2 shows at a time and watching playback?)The best thing about this is that I didn't buy it. It is better thannothing and I will rent it until TIVO has a solution.thanks for the help (in advance)Bruce.

1) How do you play from beginning of a show? Sometimes when picking a recording from the 'LIST', 'play from beginning' is an option. Most of the time it is not, especially when the program is still in progress. Is there a remote key combination that allows this?This appears to be a limitatiion- a very frustrating limitation. Fromthe best I can tell 'play from begining' is never an option until therecording has finished.
2) While watching a recorded show that is still in progress, the unit switches to LIVE TV when the show is done recording, even if I am watching the middle of the show. Is this normal, an error or a setting?Mine does this randomly.
It is listed as a known 'bug' in the box. DidI mention there is a message board devoted to hate post for this box?
3) Any way to keep the power from going off?No. 4) Any discrete IR codes for power, HD format?Power off the box. Hold down GUIDE and INFO on the box to access the'Advanced Settings' menu. From there you can do some tweaks (some ofwhich may be manditory, e.g. 720p or 1080i output selection) 5) I have noticed unsynchronized sound and picture. So far only noticed when recording 2 shows at once.I've noticed ocassional problems recording two HD shows at once. Thisreally stresses the box.
Sometimes it's not a problem, but often thereare little glitches here and there in the playback.For sound sync, it seems some programs have problems when using theToslink (optical digital audio) out. I don't think this has anythingto do with the box. 6) Lots of digital glitches with picture. Is this related to multitasking (recording 2 shows at a time and watching playback?)I believe so. With TimeWarner Cable in Houston I had a Motorola HDcable box prior to the 8000HD, with the Motorola box I experiencedocassional picture problems (brief periods of pixelation). The best thing about this is that I didn't buy it. It is better than nothing and I will rent it until TIVO has a solution.Glad I didn't buy it either.
From what I've read, the cable companiespay about $800 a pop to buy these in bulk, so be glad you didn't buyit. Aside from it's few problems, the ability to record HD and recordtwo programs at once beats out my old ReplayTV, also I don't know whatTivo was charging you, but at $7.50/month, I'm saving a bit. thanks for the help (in advance) Bruce.

I have to manually rewind itto the beginning. I dont know if there's a fix to this.

If there is pleasepost.Is there a remote key combination that allows this?2) While watching a recorded show that is still in progress, the unitswitches to LIVE TV when the show is done recording, even if I amwatching the middle of the show. Is this normal, an error ora setting?I don think this has happened to me but I hardly watch recorded shows inprogress.3) Any way to keep the power from going off?Ive never had power problems. The problem I have is the sound on the digitalchannels goes out, I have to disconnect the box and reboot to get sound back.Very annoying, it happens about once a week. Ive had it for 4 weeks. I may haveto exchange the box.4) Any discrete IR codes for power, HD format?5) I have noticed unsynchronized sound and picture. So far onlynoticed when recording 2 shows at once.I get this problem alot also.
I fix it by rewinding it a little and somehow thesound gets sychronized with picture again. Very annoying also.6) Lots of digital glitches with picture.

It started in mid-August andhappened several times, then went away and never came back. I'massuming that it was related to an intermediate firmware version that'snow been replaced. I haven't carefully checked versions, though.Adelphia updates it from time to time - I really don't pay that muchattention. In any event it hasn't happened this month at all.

Is this normal, an error ora setting?This is a 'feature'. You are probably watching a show that is beingsaved. As it completes, the DVR reverts to live.
