Anyone Notice RED LINES on some channels Now?

[Ilya]

I noticed the "red line" for the first time this weekend. My wife was watching Bravo and she complained about this "line". Depending what solid colors were on the screen it was mostly red but sometimes green.

I changed channels and noted that it didn't appear on any other channel at that time.

This is an old software bug. Just reboot your box and that line will go away.
(To reboot: Switch to channel 100, then press the power button on the box itself for 6 seconds and then release. Leave your box alone for 10 minutes while it acquiers the program guide.)

Ilya,

thanks I will try that on both of our boxes this pm. Hmmm....I know how to reboot with the power button....but setting it on ch 100 first? I must have missed one.

thanks again.

...but setting it on ch 100 first?

It doesn't have to be 100, but not changing channels helps the PG to load faster at least in some cases...

Thaks Ilya... I finally saw the same red line myself and did the reboot. It did work until the next time.
