New problem with channel blackouts
The new version of software is hardly every locking up so that I have to reboot. But now I am starting to get a new problem where a channel will black out video and say signal lost, but the audio is still there. This happened on WQED 13-2 local station this am. I flipped the channel down to 13-1 and back up and while changing to 13-1 (a channel with no picture or sound), the 13-2 picture flashed briefly before the picture went blank and the audio cut off. Then when I got back to 13-2, the pictured and sound returned.
I leave this stb on all the time because of tivo. Sometimes, I'll come in to the room and turn on the stereo and the HD monitor, and there will be no picture and sound. But the STB is flashing the red activity lights when I hit the remote and their is a green dish. I can turn it off if I hold down the power button but not if I just press it. Same for turning it back on. I actually have to reboot. In the old lockups, it would not respond at all. This is much more rare than the old lockups which I would get a couple times an evening some nights.
