    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...

    How Come You Cant Delete Channels On This New Stupid Img

    The favorites guide is what you want to use. It allows you to remove all the channels you never watch so you can quickly channel surf to what you want. 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.

    MD area HD artifacts

    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...

    Leaving DTV for Fios...I cannot live without NFL Sunday Ticket

    DONT DO IT! If you want to keep your sanity (the primitive guide will drive you nuts) stick with DTV. The only reason to switch from DTV is if you have line of sight issues.

    Guide V2.0: Better or Worse?

    come on people... vote. I know we have more viewers than have voted so far. FiOS reps will have to look at boards like this if we get more numbers and constructive feedback.

    Why does volume level vary so much?

    I have the same issue with Verizon FiOS and thought I would check to see if DTV would be different... guess not. You would think with everything being digital they could do something.

    Got the new guide last night... YUCK!

    Im not getting used to the new guide. I see nothing but bad things from my couch. What could they have done to make an improvement: -made the guide wider to take advantage of 16:9 screens. It would be nice to see about 2 hours of programming without having to use the directional button to...

    problems with Voom remote

    Anyone else notice or experience these problems with the remote? 1) Using the back button frequently (ie bouncing back between 2 sporting events between commercials/plays) will eventually lock up the VOOM/Motorola set top box. Have to unplug/reboot. 2) If I change a channel directly lets...

    So what the hell is going on???? re olympic feed

    This whole crap over who maps to what OTA signal has got to go. It does not account for people like me who may get the OTA ABC signal from Baltimore fine but cant tune NBC because a tree is in the way. Better yet when Southwest Airlines is stacked 10 deep in the sky coming into BWI airport I...
