#Cisco receiver 4642 free#
After checking all of your own equipment, including cables, splitters, etc, I would contact the cable co first to have them come out and test the line (assuming this is a free service when you're having problems) and see if something has changed on their end. Sometimes it only happened on specific channels. After a couple years of problems, and having the cable co out to check things, I finally came to the conclusion that there is a signal (either hot or cold) issue: when the signal is bad the STB's start screwing up because they can't dial in on a particular channel. I have had a 4640HDC exhibit similar issues, as well as it's predecessor, the 4642. That basically defeats the purpose of having a PVR in the first place. If I do not turn both boxes on and off frequently enough, I end up with a blank recording. This happens in unpredictable intervals and in the vast majority of cases it affects both boxes at the same time. One actually has to press the button twice to turn the box off (to make the on indicator extinguish). What I mean by that is that while from the outside both boxes are on and look normal, they in fact do not accept any commands including pressing the power off button and do not generate any output.

Since couple of weeks ago (and I believe after an "update" of the boxes' internal software by Rogers) both boxes started to exhibit annoying behaviour:Īfter some time being on, they both go into deep space. I have two CISCO 4642HD digital cable receivers connected to Rogers Cable network and controlled via USB-UIRTs.
I understand this is not strictly SageTV related, but I am wondering if anyone has come across anything like this:
