Strange 811 Problem

[NightRyder]

OK, here's a strange one. I am having a problem with one channel on my 811, the channel is HBO2W. The channel pauses every 1 to 2 seconds. I've experienced the freeze frame/stop motion bug before and this isn't it. This is the only channel that is having this problem and, here's the strange part, the channel is perfectly fine on my 508 and 501 receivers. I have tried a hard reset but no luck. Can someone with a 811 and HBO check to see if you are having the same problem? I still have 2.81 firmware.


Thanks

I have the same problem on TNTHD, everything else is good.

Same thing here. It's fine on a 301 but not on the 811. I am also on 2.81.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll give it until tomorrow before I try to explain this to E* technical support. Not looking forward to that.

Same thing here on my 811 with HBO2W and I'm at P281. Weird. It jerks about every half-second...

Whatever the issue was with HBO2W, it seems to have been fixed. I checked it a few hours ago and it was still jerking. I'm watching it now and it's fine. Is it working for others as well?

 

[NightRyder]

Yep looks like it's fixed now. Still a very strange problem.

I agree. I've never seen any of the channels do that before (except TNT-HD go into slo-mo mode). Very weird...

I was watching the Charger-Colt game the other day on CBS-HDW with my 811. It went into slo-mo at one point. I changed channels and went back and all was OK again.

That's how I fix TNT-HD when it goes into slo-mo mode - just change the channel and change it back. It hasn't happened in a while though.
