Since switching to FiOS I don't think I've got any Zone Alarm(free) alerts that weren't the result of something I did. The ActionTec router seems to block all incoming security threats. When I had dial-up I might get a couple dozen or more alerts a day, most probably from infected computers. I...

Hopefully DirecTV will also move some of the HD channels currently on the 101° bird to the new satellites and improve the quality of the SD channels. Or free up room for more shopping channels. ;)

2/20 here too. Didn't see any new channels, but 3 channels (Versus, G4 and BridgesTV) are moving from the premium channel ranges to elsewhere. They are viewable now to all, but many people are probably unaware of that because of their current locations.

Have you tried unplugging the problem units? I was having a problem with one of my STBs the other day, but unplugging it for several minutes and then plugging it back in fixed it. Initially I just unplugged it for a few seconds, but that didn't seem to do anything. It may not solve your problem...

Many of the sub-channels are available in the 850-899 range. For DC, 850-852 are the weather channels for NBC-4, CBS-9 & ABC-7. 853 is Channel 50/Tube Music Network, 861-864 are the channels for WEAT-26 and 870-873 are for MPT-22. Some good programming, but a lot of digital artifacts, which I...

I would say YES! I haven't regretted switching from DirecTV to FiOS at all. Better picture and a better package of channels for a lower price.

I just wish you could create more than one profile/favorites list.

I just sit a DVD-RAM jacket in front of the display. I have noticed that if you enter and eixt the diagnostic mode the display is off. However, I don't know if it is wise to leave the STB in that state for an extended period or whether the display would remain off for an entire night. To...

I have the SD boxes. They are normally fast, but do get sluggish when recieving a guide update.

LOL! I'd love to know how they come up with the rating for movies. I can find a few non-2-star movies, but they are the exception. Maybe they only rate mvies they've seen?

I've been very happy with FiOS. If I weren't I'd go back to DirecTV and take the free portable DVD player and other rewards they offered us to come back. It's just that there are things about FiOS I wish were better. I suspect there are people from Verizon reading these forums, even if they...

Who controls what is avialble? I thought the networks did. I know the titles under Starz, Showtime and The Movie Channel are always the same ones that are listed for OnDemand on the websites for those channels. Starz: http://www.starz.com/appmanager/seg/s?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=on_demand...

Haven't noticed any audio problems other than inconsitent volume levels between channels. I don't have the DVR though, just the SD STB (2500 model). I live in N. VA. The VOD I watch (mostly Starz, Showtime, TMC) is excellent. Sometimes the first 1-3 seconds of a VOD program is garbled, but once...

Some of us are just impatient I guess. Tell me December and I think December 1st, not December 31st. :)

Yes, I saw it yesterday evening. Not sure how long it has been there. I've been waiting for them to add IFC, which they got in a recent deal with Cablevision along with other channels like AMC.

That will probably encourage a few people to add on packages to avoid the rate hike, at least if they are on the fence about getting HBO or whatever.

I heard the audio dropout for the first time yesterday when watching a CNET OnDemand program. However, I found that if I rewound and listened to the same section again the audio dropout was still there. I've notice quite a bit of variation in the quality of OnDemand programs. Some are...

I can record OnDemand to DVD. And using DVD-RAM I get DVR like functions such as chasing playback. Though ever since switching to FiOS I've been disappointed in the picture quality of the DVD recordings. It didn't bother me with DirecTV since the DirecTV picture was already bad. But with FiOS...

I for one hope that FiOS doesn't get XM or Sirus as I prefer Music Choice.

I haven't noticed anything like that. Does it happen on all channels or just certain ones? If the signal to the boxes is somehow being effected I would think you would also see errors in the picture, like random squares/pixelization, at the same time the audio drops out. The only audio...

I can't remember the last time that there were 3 shows on at the same time that I wanted to watch. Even 2 was rare until this year when Amazing Race moved to Sunday. Luckily I also switched to FiOS in September, which alternately provides the locals in analog format, so I have more...

What receiver? No problems with the SD #2500 receiver. Did you try a reset? With the 2500, you can briefly get up to the past 2 hours of listings by selecting a program (info or OK) that started before the current half hour. Then hit LAST to return to the guide. The guide will be at the time...

G4 is showing the original Star Trek, and marathons of what appears to be unedited episodes on Saturdays. Wish I had a DVD recorder with a hard drive. It would sure make recording, removing commercials and archiving it a lot easier. BTW, Is Bridges TV (channel 496) having a freeview? I'm...

When they installed the internet here they told us it was TV ready. Just a matter of waiting to get approval. Took a coulple months. I waited until I could get both to call.

I noticed the problem with channels 378 & 380 only goes out another day or so.
