    How Come You Cant Delete Channels On This New Stupid Img

    Once you make the selections and choose Favorite Channels on the Flip Channel category it will not change the settings when the box is turned off, but why do you shut off the box?

    How Come You Cant Delete Channels On This New Stupid Img

    No - once you add/remove channels and go to Flip Channels and select Favorite Channels (rather than All Channels) you only see your favorite channels when scanning

    New Remote issue...

    Whn FIOS TV went online last month in RI we got the new guide. Let's hope we get an upgrade here - 30 seconds on the replay is too long. Although I never had the old guide I understand there was a 7 second setting which makes more sense.

    The skip offers the same: 30 seconds, 1, 2 and 5 minutes.

    The repeat offers only 30 seconds, 1, 2 and 5 minutes.

    New Remote issue...

    Yes the 30 second skip works fine - my major complaint is that the shortest replay is 30 seconds. Hopefully a future upgrade will give you the option of having a 7 second delay like I had with Cox.

    What the f*&% with the emergency broadcasts

    Yes, I live in Rhode Island and hopefully the only thing I will get is "test" alerts for a long time to come, I was watching live TV both times so didn't realize that it would effect recorded programs. I can hardly wait for that :mad: Regarding two previous comments, I agree the volume level was...

    What the f*&% with the emergency broadcasts

    I've only had VIOS TV for about 2 weeks, and have had two emergency broadcast tests, both at the worst time possible - during a crucial point in a program, and with 2 outs, bases loaded and the winning run at third (Red Sox game). Never had these tests during all the years I had Cox. Is this...

    Had my install on Thursday - all went flawlessly. The new IMG is installed and I find it VERY fast, good interface and am impressed with the backlit remote. My only complaint about the new IMG is that you can't delete channels when you are scanning. PQ is noticeable on the SD channels and I...

    TV service for Rhode Island

    The final public hearing by the PUC will be held today (May 17th) at 1PM. I would hope that an announcement will be made later in the day by Verizon on the start up date. The technician who installed my FIOS internet & phone last week said there were extra crews being brought in. The other...
