Watched a lot of TV yesterday and still no blackouts. It seems to me that there is a compatibility issue between the Motorla STB and the Sharp Aquos as well as a number of Samsung and Sony HDTV's. Fortunately for me there doesn't seem...

Oops! Think I posted the wrong Yamaha info. Should be Yamaha RX-V465

Hooked up the Tivo HD XL today. Easiest thing I've ever done regarding home theater. HDMI into the tv and away we went. So far no blackouts or pixellation but it is too early to tell. Question: Being an old guy with an old (not too old...

The Sharp tech came out yesterday and ran a bunch of tests on my Aquos. All the findings were negative, as in no problems with the tv. Evidently, the tv keeps a list of internal errors and there were none. He said what I thought: the tv...

Just in case anyone is interested, a Sharp rep is coming out to replace a bunch of parts in my TV on Monday (8/17). If that fixes the problem I'll be very surprised. I'll let you know. Still don't see how a blackout caused by a TV would...

One other thing: I doubt if it is the stb as this is the fourth one we've had between Comcast and Verizon (2 each, all Motorola DVR's). I think it is Comcasts wiring. My internet connection isn't visibly faster with fios. I measured it...

Like I said before I don't know too much about this stuff. The cable goes into the fios stb first. I believe (I did not hook this stuff up) that the sound to the receiver is coming from the TV but I'm not positive. It's tight quarters...

It happens on any channel. Even an on-demand movie had 5 long blackouts in it. I'll try your DVR diagnostics on Friday (no time now). Everything is hooked up with component cables except the DVD (HDMI). However, the DVD never has...
