![http://i29.tinypic.com/54apas.jpg](http://i29.tinypic.com/54apas.jpg) 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? ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

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? [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtf-is-this-v-time-warner/73693.md?page=2)
