    IPG Interface

    I actually like the "looks" & ergonomics of the new remote, but it is just missing too many buttons / functions . Using the guide to select future DVR recordings with just the 1 at a time arrow keys is slow ... (just a day +/- would be great), I see from the tutorials that the older remote had...

    I was given the new Phillips remotes when Fios was installed just over a week ago, ,& it has no page up/down , or Day + / - , or "list" ect. probably what the OP has too. I had an older light up universal remote & was able to progam it for the Moto DVR box, & it has working page up/down keys ...

    Just got Fios TV .. Questions ...

    A work around that allows you to do what you ask is You can hit the "record" button on the live show you are about to switch away from, & then when you want to "switch back" simply select it from the DVR recordings screen .. likewise you can hit record on the 2nd live show, & then you can...

    Just got Fios TV .. Questions ...

    If you mean the same problem I was also referring to as well, it IS a Verizon specific problem. The Verizon DVR is programmed so that it starts Every Single show 1 min before guide start, & ends 2 mins after Guide end & you can't "de-select this . Every single recorded show, every single...

    Just got Fios TV .. Questions ...

    So , to clarify, EVERY "normal" start-time show you select to record will actually start a minute or 2 before, & end a minute or 2 after, causing conflicts if you happen to be watching TV (a 3rd channel), at that time?

    Just got Fios TV .. Questions ...

    This doesn't seem to work for me if I understand correctly ... I tried to follow your above a few ways: A) - If I power on the STB, then with the remote hit "power" it shuts off the box, & then hitting "OK" does nothing. B) - IF I leave the box off, then hit "Power, then "OK", the...

    How to hook up both cable & Direct TV, same house?

    Have you considered using a Wireless router, or a "Through the House wiring" router to simply get the internet from the front to back rooms .. This would eliminate any dealing with extra cables or drilling thru walls ... & give you functionality for wireless handheld devices & laptops too .. I'm...

    Do I need a Box for All Channels w/ Fios??

    Yes, I was aware of the DVR, I only have the 1 HD set right now. I was also aware of the VZW speed being better, I had Optonline when it was "theoretically 10/1" & never saw more than 6 on a good day, & it would fluctuate all over depending on day & time usually averaged between 1 & 3 ... I then...

    Do I need a Box for All Channels w/ Fios??

    No I am well aware I have 10/2, which was upgraded from the 5/2 when it was initially offered in my area. I called back, & it turns out that it is cheaper to Not take their "triple play, & leave my Fios internet at it's current 10/2, & I'll save about $12 or so vs. the pkg deal for the same...
