The billing has been a bit hard to sort out but, I've been very pleased with the service. I have tv, phone, internet (5/2) through FiOS. I have had no problems with the DVR, but from what I read, I'm not supposed to be pleased with the FiOS DVR. It works fine for me.....but I'm too busy to...

HD is a fad...just like color tv VZ is right to ignore HD. For the love of Peter, Paul, & Mary, it's not like HD is really catching on. Give it a few years and the same thing will happen to this HD nonsense that happened to color tv. Besides, piss on shareholders. That's the ticket. I'm...

I think the point is that the VZ's inability to add a bunch of hd channels now is not due to limits of fiber but to the limits of the equipment. I'm not an expert ...I'm not remotely educated on the ins and outs of fiber, but I really don't think the issue is the fiber itself.

Not so young Jedi, D*'s HD rollout is composed mainly of national channels. The "locals" you speak of are RSNs. D* has something like 45 or slightly more national channels. Everyone gets the truly national HD channels. I think you can get RSNs as well, but the major league sports on those...

History HD on VOD Anyone else have history in the HD trial folder? i noticed it early this afternoon. not much there, but it's a start.

they started laying the fiber in my neighborhood in Feb '07 or so. I was able to order FIOS in early June '07.

Not to be smart about it, but I don't. Since I'm a sub. to them, it would nice to know why it's a POS.

My office just got a 37inch LCD vizio. I hooked a dvd player up to it and played a couple scenes from The Eagles Farewell I Tour & The Incredibles: both looked pretty nice on it. GMA and TODAY look very good as well...don't know about other HD since it only has some rabbit ears hooked to...

VZ slow to play the HD game The thing that makes their slowness more tolerable is that there's isn't a whole lot that we're missing. Yes, I know the playoffs are on, but overall, it's not like there's a waterfall of HD flowing....channels, yes, but not the content. VZ will get there....but if...

No-TBS HD I got an email from a programming/content person @ V* a couple of days ago and it said that TBS-HD is not happening for the playoffs. I don't believe that we V* subs will get much new HD this year other than a channel or two....this is an opinion, but the no-TBSHD is fact.

Part of the reason I chose not to go through with my D* installation for tomorrow was cost. I got a good deal through my local Costco ($169 for the HD DVR and $10 off my bill for 10 months), but I would be looking at slightly more than $140/month with D* and FIOS internet and FIOS phone...

Almost dumped V* But I didn't. I went so far as to sign up for D* at my local Costco last Sat. I even got a quick install date of Oct. 3. I called today though to cancell the install. When I was in the process of ditching Comcastsucks, I chose V* over D* and I figured there was a good...

We FiOS subs are out in the cold with the E* people on TBSHD as well. Anyone want to start a fire to keep warm?

Not to be a smartass, but what else is there that's not already out there in SD? If you want cool stuff in SD, try Fios if it's available to you. I just got it and as nice as the HD quality is, I'm really digging the Military History Channel and channels like Sleuth and ESPNU, which I didn't...

Don't hold your breath for HD additions Well, like many of you, I called V* to try to pry some information out of them regarding some HD additions. I routed to some yahoo who gave me the standard line about how they're constantly working to add channels and upgrade service. I told him that...

That sounds right. I got Fios on Spet. 5 and I had no special wiring...just what was there when I had Comcastsucks. YOu might also want to run CAT5 (CAT6 maybe?) b/c the router that V* provides has four ports for hardwired netowrking in addition to wireless capability. Enjoy FIOS...just don't...

Will D*'s unleashing of new national HD channels be followed by a similar unleashing of HD locals for those us still out in the cold on the HD local front? I've been wanting D* for two years now (even before the big HD release), but no HD locals in the Richmond-Petersburg, VA market have made...

My samsung is pretty good I've had a 46" DLP for a little over two years. Other than paying through my nose for it at CC, I'm pleased with it. Being two years old, it's never been the best at contrast, but overall, I think I did okay with what was available 2 years ago. I read either at...

Not sure if its a D* or E* issue my FiOS feed has had no problems with ESPNHD or ESPN2HD.

I always thought you couldn't buy these things, but I saw R15 DVRs at Best Buy's ebay outlet store? Will D* activate one of these things if I buy it from BBY? The fine print says it's not necessary to subscribe to D* in order to buy the DVR, but that the DVR is useless w/o D* service. Any...

D10 has not yet been launched because Chuck Norris is not available to throw it into outer space - Chuck is busy teaching Charlie Ergen how rip another man's larynx out. ...I like this posting stuff.

Chuck Norris accidentally knocked the satellite out of orbit while practicing roundhouse kicks.
