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 to be the same problem between the Sharp and Tivo HD.

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 though) wife who HATES change, how much changer would...

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 is occasionally losing its signal. He also said there are...

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 be recorded by the dvr. But then, I know very little about...

Thanks Richie, there are no splitters. I actually wanted the installer to split the cable so we could hook up our tivo s2 and he wouldn't do it. As for the cable itself, verizon had me unplug it, turn it around a hook it back up to make sure it was tight. I can tell it was very tight at both...

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 at about 11% faster (SurfSpeed2). Had 12mbps went up to 20...

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 and hard to follow the wires (well, I haven't had time to...

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 blackout or had interruptions of any kind. The tech guy said it...

In Nov 2008 I bought a 32" Sharp Aquos HDTV and got Comcast to install an HD DVR. From the very beginning we have had 2 to 5 second blackouts with no sound, pixellation and other broadcast problems. Had Comcast out numerous times. Once they replaced the Motorola STB. Same problems. They said it...
