The STB turns on, generates audio, and responds to channel changes via the remote...just as it's supposed to do.<br /><br />As soon as I turn on the TV (connected via HDMI cable), I get "no signal" and a "du1" error message on the STB display. As I pointed out, this is a new issue. I hooked a DVD player to the TV using the same HDMI cable and it works just fine.<br /><br />Verizon tech told me I should get RGB component cables to connect to the set instead of using HDMI. Not happy about this non-solution!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02913090065554009141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680042907700082960.post-27012919496021520512009-08-04T13:31:14.685-04:002009-08-04T13:31:14.685-04:00Thanks for the updates.

The tech told me that they know of the problem and to not hold my breath on them fixing it.<br /><br />Question, if the 6200 is working for you, do you also have a home media-dvr? I was wondering if the 6200 is compatible with that, as I watch dvr'd programs remotely from my 7100Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864901736623243784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680042907700082960.post-70855758807109613142009-07-19T17:11:27.134-04:002009-07-19T17:11:27.134-04:00Well, I got a replacement box and it fixed the iss...Well, I got a replacement box and it fixed the issue (for now). <br /><br />The old box was a QIP 7100 (newer model), and the new one is a QIP 6200 (older model). <br /><br />The 7100 had the issue, the 6200 does not (yet). The 7100 worked for months without a hitch though, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the 6200 craps out too.<br /><br />They still claim "engineers are working on a fix" ,although I've found posts and threads going back over a year with Verizon telling customers the same thing, so I guess they're not working too hard on it.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654728544571699517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680042907700082960.post-74718904607545542602009-07-15T23:43:36.322-04:002009-07-15T23:43:36.322-04:00Just thought I'd follow up and post what I lea...Just thought I'd follow up and post what I learned.<br /><br />Verizon acknowledged it's a known, widespread issue on all of their Motorola boxes (HD, HD-DVR, etc).

I did read that you are able to force your box into 720p mode which eliminates the issue, but then you will get black bars on the left and right side of all of your standard definition channels, which is not an option for me.<BR/>I am not sure on this particular Motorola box, but I know with the comcast one, if you powered it off while holding the menu key (on the box not the remote), it would take you to a special setup menu.Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864901736623243784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680042907700082960.post-47343967240528835952009-03-12T20:53:00.000-04:002009-03-12T20:53:00.000-04:00I had FIOS installed today 12 MAR 2009 in FL.

That did not solve the problem. I have read something about initially configuring a menu but have not been able to get to said menu on my Motorola FIOS HD box.Pete_Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201247498675775937noreply@blogger.com
