Got the same answer from Verizon. They sent me Component cables. Still get the blacking out about once every two minutes. Not sure I want to switch to 720p to solve the problem when I should be watching in 1080i. I am still in the 15 day window to cancel my service. See you later verizon.. welcome back Time Warner.
720p is better than 1080i, I'd make the switch.
This started happening a couple nights ago. last night it was so bad I just turned the tv off. Before tow nights ago it happened and we'd get a message "Aquiring Signal". We are using HDMI, it never happened with the coax cable or the old stb ( we now have the new Media box). I'll go back to looking at my programs on the net maybe.
I was having the same problem when outputting 1080i. Switching to 720p made it go away completely. This is a known issue, at least according to some other posts I've seen.
Resetting the STB will stop the blackouts for a few days, I have gotten 2 weeks w/o blackouts this way. just unplug it for about 5 min.
I was the original poster to this problem. Verizon swapped my 7 series dvr for a QIP 6416-7 DVR and the problem has never occured again. The technician I talked to was well aware of this problem and knew exactly what was the culprit and the proper fix.
Problem seems to be fixed after IMG 1.7 update. 7-series STB, 1080i via HDMI, no flicker for 2 weeks or so.
