    IMG 1.9 Release

    Ok, 01-2012 Still nothing in Mass for 1.9. I called and their CSR Dweeb says 'You know, these rollouts take a long time'. I used the Apple/MS argument that they do updates all at once. His answer 'Well, we aren't Apple', I agreed, sighed and hung up.

    I am having trouble with this. The iphone can see my account and list my dvr's, but trying to access them it says network error. I go to the dvr and it says 'not activated', and I type in my iphone phone number, and the dvr says 'waiting for activation, enter the following confirmation...

    Anyone else having ESPN3D 1002 problems?

    Answer! I read this elsewhere about someone saying top/bottom 3d format from cable didn't work but side-by-side format DID work: The ESPN3d signal is 720P, but my cable box was set to output 1080i, so 1080i top/bottom is NOT supported by Mits in the latest firmware. I set my cable box to...

    Anyone else having ESPN3D 1002 problems?

    Hi Finally hooked up my shiny new Cbl DVR (IMG 1.8), using HDMI v1.4 cable to my MITS DLP set. Set does 3d fine on a PS3 using same HDMI wire So I hook it up, go to channel 1002, tell the set top/bottom 3d (DLP Link glasses). TV says ok, put 3d glasses on. Left Eye 100% picture, right...

    Boston got ESPN3D channel (1002) in the last few days

    Isn't 3d the 1.3 standard? 1.4 is ethernet over HDMI. Oh and HDMI 1.4 allows a TV to autoswitch to the correct 3d mode. That does explain it, so the component out is working, kind off. The pic is def 20% darker on the right glasses. Maybe a small timing error because of Component...

    Boston got ESPN3D channel (1002) in the last few days

    We now have ESPN3d, yes, 3d X-Games! I also have a dilemma. I was going to buy an HDMI cable to watch in 3d BUT...I have my Tivo Premiere connected by Component to my MITS DLP set. The 3d is the up/down split picture type. The set can't figure the 3d out (cause I am on component), but...

    FIOS after a month

    Yes, Tivo box means virtually unlimited space. You can have a 2TB drive inside and a 2TB drive external. I only have the 2tb drive inside, and have 667hours HD, or 2667hours SD

    Fios adding TruTV HD

    After reading, I stand corrected. I do think that Fios better get their act together and fix their QAM problem. Not being able to roll out zillions of HD and be the leader, but instead poop out TruTVHD and BetHD and their only additions in months is dismal. Re: IPTV. I think this might be a...

    Fios adding TruTV HD

    Their IPTV rollout will be a dismal failure too. AKA AT&T Universe. It will limit the number of HD Channels a subscriber can simultaneously get in their house and limit the internet bandwidth when one does go towards the limit. Phil

    fios in weymouth mass.

    FiOS deployment has pretty much been stopped. They are filling out towns already done, but no new ones. Costs per house were thru the roof, like $850 a house to wire. Lets hope they continue deployment after the economy comes back, if it ever does. I am lucky. I have it in Natick and love...

    When is FIOS REALLY fixing their QAM problem stopping more HD Channels?

    Well, I don't use their boxes, I use Tivos (3 of them) and cablecards. I do have one of their boxes, just to get on-demand. The service is great. I just wish they would: 1) tell us their plans for new channels, 2) Honor their own promises for fixes, like this QAM thing.

    When is FIOS REALLY fixing their QAM problem stopping more HD Channels?

    Yes, they started using this as an excuse in May/June and said it needed a QAM restructure, give it a 'few months'. 6+ months later, I renewed right before contract times were removed, and still no answer as to timeframe. Latest I got was it could be 'a few months to a year' to fix it To get...

    When is FIOS REALLY fixing their QAM problem stopping more HD Channels?

    We were told in JUNE'10 that Fios was out of QAM space and that it would be fixed 'in a few months'. For recollection, this was the excuse FIOS used as to why they had no HD Channel room, and they were removing west-coast versions of movie channels, etc to make room for a few new HD while they...

    FIOS after a month

    Tivo makes most of its money from long term Government and Hospital contracts. They close circuit training to these all the time. They were the first to make encrypted closed circuit addressable content viable back 2002-2005 timeframe.

    Is Verizon Losing Money on FIOS?

    Exactly The Fiber run is enough to cost a fortune, but over time, the maintenance costs for fiber are way lower than old copper networks. As stated, that is why there is a 12 month minimum for service. The thing that surprises me is that FiOS phone, still is POTS, just over fiber. I...

    Anybody got the on-screen Caller ID yet?

    I am in Boston, Checled it's availability and was told NO, because I have 'distinctive ring' feature (2nd phone number, rings my line differently so I know a business call is coming in). So, no go if you have Distinctive Ring. I called Verizon and they said they could turn off my...

    Device to move and combine 2 5mhz-1ghz signals??

    Hi I want to be able to put antenna and cable on one rg-6 wire. The device would move the band (like the old directtv box called a 'signal stacker') Band 1 in the normal range add 1ghz to band 2 so it would be in 1.05-2ghz Obviously not cheap, but definitely doable. Anyone know...
