Trouble with my 80 Inch Vizio freezing on startup for around 5 minutes I have no control. DirecTv DVR units may interfere. Anyone else with issue?

I have an onkyo entertainment center attached to mine. It takes about 30 seconds to get the picture also hooked up to direct tv, so you may want to call tech support.

Don't expect any support from Directv on this issue, I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a tier one support person, who basically spent the time , reading me information from the instruction book. You might want to just look on Directv forums, and notice the number people who have some sort of issue with CCK boxes. I sent the CCK back, and figured out a way to get a hard wired connection to the back of the Directv DVR.

Have you made a recording from a Verizon FIOS box recently? My DR410 has worked perfectly for years but in the past month it won't record anything coming from the DVR. It pops up a message about the signal not being one that can be recorded (like you tried to burn from a commercial DVD or VCR) and I haven't been able to burn anything else. Very frustrating!! Anyone else see this problem recently? And does anyone know a solution? Thanks.

Hi Loretta, sorry to hear this. have tried other inputs like DVD/BD player, computer, game console, cable box? have you checked your physical cables for loose connection? have you tried changing physical cables from your devices going to your TV? -Vincent

I have Direct TV and I can assure you I have never experienced anything but a flawless picture from my set except for the odd super storm which is very rare. I think you need to look to your provider as I believe it to be a cable issue.

I don't know about the other units, but i got mine a week ago, today i finally hanged it on my wall, i found out the TV freezes a lot, had to unplug it so many times., i will try to update the firmware, hope it will solve the problem.

I had the same exact issue and it got worse with the Vizio driver. I now use the .75 atheros driver and it's perfect...hasn't dropped once since I was originally having the issue.

Mine just went out today. I purchased it in the beginning of November. Trying to decide if I should see if Amazon will refund me and buy a different TV or just get it replaced by Vizio. I'm a little worried about the longevity, since it went out so quickly and others are experiencing the same problem.Loved the TV until it picture went out on me. I still have a 32" Vizio that's about 6 years old running strong.

I have two of the Daewoo and each records all the channels available to me on my Directv including the above and premium channels. If the Daewoo fails to record any channel it may be a set up problem.

There is a thread in avsforum dedicated to the xvt3 series. There have been some issues reported - RVR (random Vizio Reboot), Sets turning on by itself, occasional defective units. Not all TVs are affected and similar problems are not uncommon in other models. Vizio 's support has been prompt in most cases.Picture Quality wise - Vizio ranks highly - esp in pro reviews. There are the standard issues - blooming and some uniformity issues. Also the set does not handle 1080p/24 correctly according to pro reviews .. It uses 3:2 pulldown on 1080p/24 material (e.g. Blu Ray) which can lead to judder in some scenes, There is a thread in avsforum dedicated to the xvt3 series.

Cinda, upon reflection, I would purchase a Vizio remote through Amazon. If it doesn't work,odds are it can be returned for a refund. They are good about returns. Good luck. Hansford

I recommend for you to contact the Vizio Support Team @ 877 878-4946 or email techsupport@VIZIO.com. I hope tech support can help with your question regarding the digital optical line. Lots of luck......

I haven't noticed an issue since I don't use the remote it came with. I am using the logitech harmony one. There are a few times where it fails to turn the TV off/on but I think it is because I need to change the timing on the remote. I think it sends all the signals at the same time (TV, directv box, amp) and in rare occasions someone gets left out (usually the TV). I had the same issue with my LG tv before getting the Vizio and I changed the timing on when the remote will send the signal to resolve the issue. I just haven't gotten around to doing the same with the Vizio tv.

Thank you for the replies! So, I shouldn't worry about having to return the tv?? Do you think it could be an issue with the cable box possibly? Or, is it the TV? The line that I see doesn't go away, and is in all modes.

My BD player also requires semi frequent unplugging to resolve freezing or disc loading fine, like getting menu prompts to work, froze. And cannot manually or remotely open tray or turn power off/on. Recently ONLY my Star Trek season sets did this in addtion to NOT recognizing the discs or load properly or at all.....so I did a factory reset and it resolved issue.

I would suggest you either have a bad cae or box. I have the unit and it works with both my dtv dvr and roku box with both sound and video no problems. I would check each cable by bypassing the box, and direct connecting first. If both cables are good the wire the box with the out going to the tv and inputs 1-5 going to your device. if the output is still either or then rma the box.

I've had this once too. But it wasn't with youtube, it was just that I unplugged from one TV and went and plugged it in another. It froze while loading. I had to hit the reset button on the bottom and redo all my account logins. Only happened once so far, I only used it a handful amounts of times so far but I don't really use YouTube much. Hope this helps.
