I'm really getting tired of seeing this message lately. (See Attached)

Changing the channel up or down and then back works, but according to TWC there's nothing wrong. The "A" button does nothing.

Non DVR Cisco box HDMI hook up. Handshake issue?

[Jack 1000]

We have the same thing on and off on Fox News 1352. Our box is an SA-8300 HDC.  My guess is it is another SDV issue.  It's not handshaking because the logo is in place.  The best thing to do is to call and report the problems with the channel.  This is NOT a box issue.  The more people that call in about it, the faster they will work to resolve it.  Also do the following:

Thanks Jack,

I'll look into it later tonight.

This happens randomly on every HD channel for me. Also, it's not specific channels either. I hate Switched Digital Video.

Rebooting the DVR fixes it. I'm glad they added new HD channels but if capacity is becoming such an issue then it's time to start cutting out some analog channels. A single analog channel uses a full 6 MHz QAM channel - 38.8 Mbps! That's 2 or 3 high definition digital channels that could be fit into the space a single analog channel uses. They're an incredible waste of bandwidth!
