anybody elses voice remotes not working. all of them. sufficient batteries. multiples boxes. bug in recent update?


Mine voice remote works.

 

I have lost the buffer on satellite boxes after watching something from the DVR.  That has always been the case with On Demand, but not buffering during DVR playback is relatively new to me.  Might have started at the same time as the "re-tune"/buffer start at first command after turning the TV on / no buffer with TV off change and I just didn't notice until now.  Seems they're doing everything possible to save bandwidth.

 

I can understand not having every single box buffering 24 hours a day.  But once you start using a box the buffer should continue even during DVR playback.

Twice in the past week, both NBC HD stations have been pixelating.  Several days ago, the problem went away when I did a system refresh, but I don't know if that fixed the problem or if it was just a coincidence.  Today it happenned again, and system refresh didn't do any good.  Early this morning I noticed that the volume was so low during the program (any program) that I had to jack it up full to hear anything.  The commercials however had normal volume.   I called Comcast,and after doing their standard diagnostic steps, they concluded that it was in their system not my dvr.  Later in the day, the volume returned to normal and the pixelation lessed, but was still there.  I called Comcast again, but was told that my ticket was escalated and they couldn't give me status.  They also couldn't tell me if any other customers called in with this issue.  Both answers were very frustrating.

 

I am in Metro-Atlanta and the problems are on the NBC HD channels of 806 and 1011.  Does anyone else have or know about this problem?

I am in Metro Wash DC area and have had volume and pixelation problems from time to time on several  major networks for years on SD and HD but never with cabe networks or premium.  NBC and ABC are the worst here but there is no pattern to it.

I'm having the exact same problem.  I just switched out my box yesterday (boy what a mistake).  I was told there was a defect with the box I picked up yesterday and to return to the store and get another one.  well, guess what the second box is doing the same thing.

you didn't quote the post you were replying to so it is impossible to determine how to assist? would you reply with your problem and any error messages/error numbers?

What was it that the boxes were doing? This is a 50 page thread, “same thing” covers quite a bit.

your in-home signal is too 'bad' for the set top box to be able to communicate with comcast servers. if you have other sets working check your splitters or if you have an amplifier check to be sure the power LED is illuminated (the power plug may be unplugged).
