    Verizon and Cablevision Agree to Terms

    These channels are now also showing up in Howard County. IFC is also not part of the movie package, as i am getting it with FiOS TV Premier.

    Program Guide issues since 10/1

    Yeah, I've been noticing the same thing with Universal HD and movie info. Could be on Universal's side, but who knows. Also, within the past few days my box has been automatically resetting about 2 times a day. The random resets are annoying, esp. when you have a program recording during that...

    Yes, it is awesome. My previous provider was Comcrap (comcast) and their SD was horrible because it was practically all analogue feed which either had lines through it, static, or barely worked. We were getting local HD with our built in ATSC tuner and with comcast i remember noticing some...

    Well, I got FiOS installed today! 2 Techs came at about 9:45 and finished up around 3:30. The install went well, it took them longer because my basement is finished, making it harder to fish the line to my study. They did a great job! We did a speakeasy speed test and I was getting 5.1...

    Okay, thanks, I'll do that...but what I am worried about is if internet and tv are ordered seperately (like you said internet order online and tv over phone...or maybe even both ordered online) can i have just ONE install date for both services (internet, phone, and tv all on the same day)...

    Yea I noticed that in the paper. Nice! Well I have a question regarding the amount of time for availibility. About a week or so ago verizon passed the fiber through their conduit and in the past week I have seen several verizon trucks at different boxes working with the fiber in their...

    I also went to the Fios Kiosk at the Columbia Mall last weekend and I really liked how they had everything set up. I asked the guy that worked there if regular SD channels will always be stretched like that on a 16:9 tv. He said that they asked the tech that question because the tv outside of...

    That sounds great! Hope to hear from you about how great it is once you get it. After a month since i got that door-hanger, they have just yesterday started putting conduit in our neighborhood. But, they got slowed down a bit because they hit a gas line down the road. It was leaking...

    Well finally, today, two weeks after I got the notice on my door-hanger, there was a guy that came into our neighborhood that made white lines and boxes with the marking paint throughout the neighborhood. I know the white means that it is the proposed excavation and also this should mean Ms...

    Well, do you remember my previus post from last wednesday about CableCom comming out within 72 hours and beginning to prepare for conduit and such (according to the door-hanger). Now it has been about a week, well over 72 hours and there isn't even paint markings on the grass. The weather has...

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. So i guess the 72 hours just means they will begin preparing to bury conduit within that time, then you have to wait about 2 months for the fiber to be pulled through and activated? Or do they pull the fiber through shortly after the conduit is buried and...

    GOOD NEWS! Today, as I was comming home, I was driving through the neighborhood and noticed things on all the mailboxes that were the colours red, black, and white. I thought to myself, aren't these the verizon colours. Then i thought, nah its probably just some advertisement. So, as I...

    Yea, home prices have really increased here. And putting myself in your shoes, it must be terrible to have to wait that long for such an amazing service.

    I find it odd that verizon is digging in neighborhoods around me...and yet, as I have been checking the construction schedules since december...I never have seen any of these streets posted. I still dont have any digging for conduit on my side of the neighborhood even though the two...

    yea, thanks... I tried taking the top off one of those green boxes, but i couldn't figure out how to get it off since it was locked in place. I didn't seem to see a "key lock" anywhere, but i wanted to try to get it off to see if conduit is running into there or if the conduit already has...

    Thats pretty cool. The orange cable you are talking about is really the conduit that they pull the wire through. Anyways, I went out today and took about 14 pictures or so with conduit, FiOS utility boxes, and some fiber. I would like to post it, but what do you think the best way is to post...
