    FiOS Questions...

    After many horrific hours trying to set up our PS3s so we can play R6V and COD4 online my friends and I set up our PS3s to have static IP in DMZ. We never had to do a thing to play SOCOM but those other online games required router changes and that was the best solution. All of us on FiOS most...

    Favorites guide messed up

    Once again the brilliant programming staff at Verizon released a firmware update that has altered the favorites guide. They fail to realize that the consumers spend a painful amount of time to set up the favorites and weed out useless channels like QVC, MTV and Jewelry. At least this time I have...

When you edit the favorites list you will check only the channels you want to watch. Here is where the favorites is BROKEN since the infamous...

    If Fios Wants To Beat Cable Then They Have To Listen To The Consumer!!!!!!!!!!!!

    talk about customization... how about RF remotes rather than IR how about a PROGRAMMING guide that tells you the year and actors names how about turning the ugly AMBER clock/channel display off and/or dimming how about making the FAVORITES work like they used to before the upgrd how about...

    A&e Hd

    Im a subscriber in MD and see the A&EHD as well as the Fox Business Network ch in the guide. You cant tune it in yet. What a joke. DTV has announced so many more HD channels and VZ gives us one. And the big killer is still the dysfunctional favorites/guide/remote.

    How do they physically lay the cable?

    They dig and bore holes and bury the cable 90% of the time. I have seen it on the poles in some areas but they still burried in your yard. A Verizon sub contractor team will be in your area digging and boreing for quite some time. If you are in a new development its not so bad. If you live in an...
