I run one also, but I do like to record my HD content as well and it is the only set top box that does HDTV so it does not make a difference.

I have a fix for the blue bar on the left side of the screen. Go in to your settings and adjust the screen position. When you go in to a menu like the On Demand system it's only in 4:3 mode. Move the position over to the left more so it's just a little past where the line appear and it won't do it anymore. That fixed it for me. I was getting it everytime I'd come out of the On Demand screen.


Thanks for the tip will give that a try. Since it goes away for me with a quick power down and up it has not bothered me enough to complain, until I can get teh 6412.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13821877 Tue, 05 Jul 2005 23:19:19 EDT Re: ok this sucks, DVR goes capoot after 1 month http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13811509 Klownin3468 : It started doing that when they down loaded the new guide]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13811509 Mon, 04 Jul 2005 15:23:06 EDT Re: ok this sucks, DVR goes capoot after 1 month http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13811317 briantrue : I have a fix for the blue bar on the left side of the screen.

They would just shut off and not do anything]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13809509 Mon, 04 Jul 2005 10:03:13 EDT Re: ok this sucks, DVR goes capoot after 1 month http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13808247 Shack : I was able to pick my DVR up in the office, I don't see why they would not let you go in and swap it. I am having some problems with mine, on the HD channels periodically I get a blue line down the Left hand side about where the 4:3 letter boxing would be if it was not wide screen format. Power down and up and gone, comes back again in a day or 2. I am going to hold out swapping until I know Bloomington has the dual tuner boxes and swap then.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13808247 Mon, 04 Jul 2005 01:30:22 EDT Re: ok this sucks, DVR goes capoot after 1 month http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13807606 MSauk : GI1418TD0554]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13807606 Sun, 03 Jul 2005 23:12:15 EDT Re: ok this sucks, DVR goes capoot after 1 month http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13807373 Klownin3468 : under the box little white stickers

to wait a week to get another box.

I know they had a rash of them go bad, IE 1411...... Thru 1423...... Thats what was posted on the Motorola website anyway..

But i do Agree 5 days is too long for a box swap]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13807136 Sun, 03 Jul 2005 21:43:07 EDT ok this sucks, DVR goes capoot after 1 month http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13807095 MSauk : Well after just over a month my DVR has stopped working. I have tried unplugging and what not and still nothing. And here is the sucking thing, I will not have anyone out TILL the 8th! lol That too me is unbelievable. 5 days to get a tech out to get a box, maybe it is time to hire some more people. It should NOT take 5 days to get a tech out to your place to replace a box. Either hire more, or give the front desk people DVR's to decrease the load. Really not to happy about this situation. I have asked for a refund for these 5 days, and was told I would get one. I am happy about that, but for it to take that long is just not right.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13807095 Sun, 03 Jul 2005 21:33:50 EDT
