UVerse signal lost

Every time I change channels I get 5 seconds of play, 10 seconds of frozen play and then the Signal Lost error. This has been going on for 11 days now. Previous tech visits have includes 5RG's, 2 ONC's, cble connectors, movingDVR to 5e etc etc. All in all over 6 months of intermittent issues but never this long. Power sockerts / switches are almost wore out from reboots. Ideas please!! Hope Equipment/receivers is the right place Thanks!!

@hoghacker, how are your receivers connected back to the RG?  Via Ethernet? No other routers or switches with any level of intelligence between them and the RG?

The DVR is via 5e, the wireless AP is of course 5e, and the remaining 2 receivers are RG6. All are connected directly to the RG's ports. I have seen the issues with routers/switches and none are involved.

Hello HogHacker!

 

I apologize for your inconvenience! Now with your RG, have you tried doing a Factory Reset of modem by holding down the red reset button on the back of the modem for 15 seconds. After that, I would reboot each receiver after your services are restored back on your modem. After this, your latency should be resolved.

Thanks for the comment but no go. I hate to be short but I am a 40+ year veteran of IT wars and Level 1 reboots solve 0 in this case. A switch ( card ) reset works for a week or so and an account rewrite lasted for almost 2 months. The issue is not in my hardware but in the network. Just can't find the person with the right  admin rights. Hoping for a link here. Thanks again.

If you've done the whole house reboot, including factory resetting the gateway, and the devices are connected directly to the RG, and this is not the first gateway on which you've seen these same symptoms (10 seconds of video after a channel change, then freezing, then signal lost), then apparently there is some device upstream not processing your IGMPv3 messages properly.
