I woke up this morning to updated software in the DVRs and STBs here in central NJ. The version is 1.4. I played with it for only 10 minutes before leaving for work, but it seems to address a lot of the problems and missing features people have complained about. Fox example: The time...

Well, this seems pretty standard. When I left Cablevision for Direct TV they tried to hit me for big bucks for unreturned equipment, etc. Eventually it was fixed, but it was painful. Then, 2 years later, when I left Direct TV for Fios, the exact same thing again. It's just the way of the...

Interesting. I LIKE "The Tube" music, but Verizon removed it a month or so ago from our channel lineup. The channel which had it is now showing sports.

You have to be careful about that. Most of the new HD channels coming from DTV are locals, not national networks. Any one subscriber would only get a small number of those 70. The difference between marketing and lying is very slight!

It's not a farce, but it's not terribly useful either. The trouble with HD is that it requires such a good signal to noise ratio for the digital signal to "lock in" that the advantage disappears. I have a Radiosiphy receiver and even with full strength signals the HD rarely locks on. When it...

There's a lot to like about FiOS TV, but all in all I MISS MY DTV TiVo!!! (See my rant posted elsewhere in this forum about the DVR and its problems.)

I joined FiOS TV about 1 month ago from DTV. While there is a lot to like about the service: * Multiroom DVR access * Better picture quality * Cheaper price I am VERY UNHAPPY with the Motorola DVR they supplied. I was wondering if anyone else has similar complaints. My problems are with...
