time warner new navigator

[Ditty]

I got the new cisco box and remote and I love it and cant wait until the samsung box comes out because it was messing up when it gave to us employess, the old navigator sucked they updated ours in march so were use to it already I know they messed up on the DVR a bit but I think the On Demand channels are easier to access and accessing the other channels if its running slow give us a call and well get someone out there to take a look at it

This is actually true from what I can tell, it used to take forever to load the the HD Showcase and alike, but it does work a little faster. But overall though there's seems to be a lack of responsiveness between the remote and info on screen, and the pausing/ff/rew is ed.

Could you tell me if it's just my imagination, or does the DVR now delete stuff on its own if there isn't enough space? I noticed it now describes how/who deleted recordings and sometimes "user" isn't the responsible party. o.O

[Mixability]

yeah laggy....

but i do like the ability to tell it when setting up a show, it'll let you setup start record 5 min earlier and stop record 5 min later. the last software would always cut off the "after" parts of parks and recreation and the office, even after i reset it manually and also deleted the recording and re did it.

i only set it up so far on this new update, who knows if it'll work right.

If you hold down the FF or Rew buttons for a couple of secs, it will process the command at a clip of about 15min. I wanted to get to the end of a 1hr program & got there in apprx 10secs or so.

New HD DVR boxes hold apprx 100 hrs of HD content, ehh, not too bad I guess.

I work for Grande Tech Support, VOD on the way lol..

I got the new update yesterday, and it screwed with my screen size settings. Also, it took away my PAC. The tech over the phone insisted that I "changed" something....After proving her wrong they are sending a tech out.. I bet anything its a network side issue... Crime Warner

This is the problem I'm having its running the channels in 480i and only giving me half of the screen usage...I'm pissed right now

I can't stand this Navigator crap!! I'm trying to watch one of my favorite classic flicks on TCM and it just keeps freezing up over and over Everyone in the house has been complaining about it for the last week or so. This really sucks.

try resetting the box. it's probably likely you got a refurbished or used box. maybe turned in an hour before you picked it up. who knows. that may fix that up, unless youve joined www.icantstandthisnavigatorcraptalk.com and confirmed this as a widely known problem.

One of my boxes switched, the other didn't. I like the old one. New one is too slow and glitchy.

The tech that came out fixed that issue ( i wasnt home so I dont know what he did), and the Public Access Channel thing was a headend\TW side issue after I kept telling the es that it was... Thanks TW for treating me like livestock.... lol

[Sir Loin]

Time warner sucks i hate it. They renew the contract without even asking. Only one of the boxes here updated and now the surround sound is really low. Lame

[greyforest]

Scientific Atlanta hires the worst programmers on the planet. So many bugs, so many failed boxes, and even returned boxes only to get another broken one with some other failed feature. The new hud pointlessly removes lots of features and also adds INFURIATING new ones, such as automatically rewinding when you press play after fast forwarding.

They must have the cheapest contract of all the DVR companies which is all TW cares about. It's because their product ing sucks ass.

[Stringer_Bell]

Did anyone try asking for the Cisco box and remote as recommended? I gave up ing about it and just settled, but I'm curious if anyone tried it and noticed a difference. Perhaps then I will build up the courage to rally myself to get one as well!

Our boxes finally switched over and ^^^

[Frenzy]

Just noticed now. Looks ok I guess.

don't leave us hanging, what movie was it??? I'm guessing not a Clint Eastwood movie.

[ChumpDumper]

Box spent about an hour updating again tonight. Hopefully it sucks slightly less.

[Slydragon]

Well my living room box switch yesterday, First major thing I notice is the volume. My ps3/xbox/old firmware cable box all sound fine when my tv volume was around 15. Now the cable box is pushing 30-35 more than half of what my tv does, so when I switch to Xbox/PS3 they scare the outta me with the loud sound because I'm not used to lowering it before I play.

You are guessing correct! It was Splendor In The Grass

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I guess I'll ask everyone else that has TW. Is there a way you could reset the box or is it a matter of crappy equipment?

The box is reset by unplugging it for 10 seconds.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Usually there are soft and hard resets. Normally holding a button down while plugging it in. Maybe the case here.

No the boxes have a sticker on them that instruct to reset by unplugging for 10 secs.

Yes. Mine has that too but when I called AT&T they instructed me to do a hard reset which cleared up my problem.

[TwAnKiEs]

If its an SA box AND has an info button... you can reset by holding down VOL - VOL + and INFO for about 3-5 secs and it will reboot without having to unplug

[PM5K]

I can't even figure out how to record on this one.
