I have a VMS1100 DVR set top box as my main unit, and when I power the unit on it runs through the initial startup routine - checking the connection, loading the guide, etc.. with the red bar running across the bottom of the screen. They sent me a replacement box, and no change. A tech came out to the house yesterday, said it was a signal strength issue and replaced the splitter in the basement near the ONT and redid the ends of the coax going into the box. He started it and nothing happened - it worked fine. Then last night and again today we had the same issue again.
I'm on release APR-4.1 (Gallia), build Number 08.12.6. I called Verizon for the fourth time, and they still have no clue. I'm ready to go back to DirecTV.
