WTF is this v. Time warner

its been happening daily, basically this stupid blue mask pops up that is see thru, and it says press any button to continue.

If you dont press a button, that dissapears and you get stuck with a blue screen that you have to shut the box off to continue?

WTF?, I leave my shit on 24/7 and its pissing me off.

Are they like monitoring who watches vs who just leave thier tv on?
If so they can stop, before I switch to dish.

Anyone?

from watching to much porn.

hahaha, We watch our porn on the internet where its free.

Looks like your avatar, pwned.

^^^^truth!

Are they hooking up FIOS in your area?

I have no clue, but I’d love fios.

Me too… fuck this TW shit. They are taking way too long to lay these fiber lines for fios.

Same thing happens to me! I don’t have to shut the box off though. Even if it’s just the blue screen with no text, pressing a button makes it go away for me.

Well I ask because my buudys street they are hooking up the fios lines and his TW is all fucked up, he called and asked if fios was being installed on his street.

fios has been a block from me for 3 years. fuck verizon. switched to TW for internet.
That said, TWC’s TV still sucks balls and I would never use it. Ironic since it’s supposed to be their core business.

the first few times that didnt work, but it worked tonight.

I still want to know why its happening. Time warner needs to fix thier shit or give me credits.

why don’t you call TW and ask them about it?

Just eat some shrooms and stare at it.

It’s probably because you leave it on 24/7. Try turning it off when you’re not using it so it can reboot for updates.

have you ever tried calling them?? SERIOUSLY? :fuzzyfish: everyone i’ve dealth with at TWC was BEYOND RETARDED. THEY MADE ME WANT TO KILL THEM AND THEIR MOTHER FOR HAVING TO DEAL WITH THEM and their stupidity.

^ I’ve never had a problem with the customer service on the residential end. The Business Services department on the other hand is completely worthless.

I leave my box on 24/7. For about the last 3 weeks every time I turn my tv on after being off for the night/day, all I get is a blue screen - no face though. As soon as I turn the channel its fine. Fuck TW.

Its called switched video… If noone in the neighborhood is watching a certain channel, it goes black after 4hrs, and frees up bandwidth. To reactivate the channel, it takes 1 second to channel up and channel down… It takes 5+ seconds to post about how much a pain in the ass it is on a forum… lmao

Just turn the fucking box off when your done watching TV.

This is in prep for 100+ HD channels for WNY and docsis 3 in mainly fios areas.

its retarded. wake up in the middle of the night and have to dig around for the remote. I will seriously switch providers if they dont fix this.

I was also about to order center ice, not going to happen.

Anyone have a clue how this will effect like dvr?
