VIP7802 flashes green when TV is off

PhilU — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 21:24:44 GMT

Hi. I have the new small fibe reciever. It's working fine connected to my 2nd tv in the bedrm. But when the tv is off it won't stop flashing green... + 5 days now since the install. Its bothersome at night. What to do so it stops ?

If I recall correctly in fhe Devjce settings there is a place over there to change the LED intensity.

At low it should be fairly unnoticable.

I'll look for that setting, although I don't think it should be constantly flashing when turned off. MY PVR box doesn't. It more a slow pulsing light than a flash.

Anybody have an idea for this? Actually noticing that both receivers doing this now. What does the green pulsing light mean when the tv is off?

Just had Bell tech at our place to check our systems. One of our two tv receivers does a slow flash on and off of the green light. I call it more of a "Yawn". The other TV receiver is green all the time. The BellTech (8 months with Bell) had no idea why the one was yawning and the other stays green on. He swapped out the flashing/yawning tv receiver for a new-out-of-the-box unit and it did the same. Both tv receivers are connected to a receiver for surround sound but one is Samsung and the other Onkyo. Otherwise same systems.

I am at a loss to explain and it seems that Bell is too.

Thanks for your experience on this Hunter. I did give up on a fix as nobody can explain it. The flashing "Yawning" receiver is is in our bedroom and at night it's noticeable so I wish someone could find a fix to this. Just saying, Bell ....

PhilU - Do you have more than one tv receiver?

As I said, one of ours yawns and the other does not.

You can unplug it at night. Anyway all recordings are done in the cloud. We don’t have to turn on the dvr unless for 4K, Restart, recordings older than 60 days, management & select on-demand titles.

Thanks for this but unplugging it sounds like a very old way of fixing something... I don't understand why my PVR receiver doesn't flash but the 2nd receiver in the bedrm does? Its something that should be taken care of by Bell for what we pay per year for the services. Bell, please give us a solution!

Nah, Bell started to allow recordings to be done in their servers in 2021. Before then you had to keep the dvr on anytime when there was a scheduled mission cause it would save the recordings directly to the hardware instead of syncing remotely.
If it really bother you very much but doesn’t warrant satisfactory credits, maybe you need to replace the TV, cause the other TV doesn’t have this problem and the new replacement also flashes.

Bingo. This is a good answer nobody mentioned over the past year. It might be due to my TV? If that's the case then I guess I'll have to live with it. Thanks Alex.

Yeah or put something in front of the light to hide it. Luckily Fibe TV has a lot less problems than Telus’ new service.

I put some dark tape over the light.

It seems to be an indication of standby mode. I left my condo for the day & when I returned I found it’s been “yawning” in kinda yellow & white mixed light. It’s gone after I start to use my dvr.

Why does The green light on my TV Fibe receiver blinks.

We have 3 units...2 of them are solid green ...the third (our bedroom tv) always pulses green. Another unexplainable Bell oddity!

Fibe TV service was upgraded this week. Since last night the receiver blinks slowly when the TV is off. What's wrong?
