It's been out for about 2months. The HD VOD movies run about 10.99 each and there's some other HD poop worthy programming for free.

Money is the biggest issue when running the fiber, so Orlando is probably not going to get it anytime soon. Sorry......

North Pinellas is suppose to open up in the near future. The orange line you are speaking of is conduit that will protect the fiber once its buried.

To give people BBS material I guess...... :D

Did anyone read what the terms of getting the tv were before expecting it quickly?

You'll probably have to get the movie package which includes Showtime, TMC and the Starz/Encore channels. Which runs around $13 extra. The only ala carte channels that are available are the foreign language channels for now.

If you're asking about the Multi Room DVR feature you have to have a DVR (either standard or HD) and can only watch the recorded programs off the DVR on the 2500 Standard stbs not the HD (6200) stb. You can only watch standard def recorded programs. In the beginning you could watch both HD and...

This is one of the annoying mistakes with the new IMG. You should turn off the box if your not using it, because with the 2500's (standard) and 6200's (HD) they'll heat up and pixalate if you leave them on too long. The dvr's have cooling fans in them for the hard drive and will start...

The FSC rep put your box back to the original factory settings like when it first is hooked up. Unfortunately this happens a lot, because they don't know what the hell they are doing. You probably need to either a) Have them re-initialize and activate your box again or b) Have a trouble ticket...

15/15 and/or 20/20 should be offered in some areas soon or now. I think NY has the 50/20 option. Most servers can't keep up so sometimes its wasting money IMO.

Evidently the high demand of the HD & HD DVR boxes has created the shortage within Verizon. Poor planning on someone's part seems to be the culprit. :(

If I worked for Verizon (cough cough) I would say I hear this all the time. :p I think price, customer service, quality of service and choice are the biggest factors. Although price outweighs with some not the quality of service. I'm in the same boat with availability. It's been 50 yards away...

The upload is the best part, but the download is no slouch. I don't think there is anything out there that can compare in speed out there.

The condition of the coax and/or fittings make a difference sometimes. Loose fittings, bad ends, bad coax can be a big problem. Which ONT do you have @ your new house? There's 4 different models (Tellabs 610, 611, 611i & 612) that have been installed over the past 3 years. Motorola ONT's are...

All orders that were created before last Friday (2-1-08) should be honored for the HD and HD DVR set tops. Last I heard the weather in China and work stoppages @ their plants created a shortage in the chips used in the Motorola HD boxes, but you'll never get a truthful answer if you ask me...
