    FiOS TV...the VOOMless HD Leader?

    I think FIOS is going to add Food and HDTV HD this month so they should gain two new ones.

    Aldephia

    The acquisition is complete but it may take them a month or so to switch over the name and more than that to begin changing equipment and programming.

    Electronic Program Guide Question?

    Wow! That's a lot of issues regarding the Moto 6416. I have read similar complaints elsewhere. It would certainly seem to make sense to have a static thread regarding the 6416 and various problems/issues with it. Regarding some of the issues, can you use a Harmony remote or another...

    Electronic Program Guide Question?

    I have a basic question regarding the EPG that comes with the Motorola HD DVR. Can you edit the guide to only show the channels that you want to watch? I couldn't do that with my Adelphia box and it's important to me. I just found out that I can get FIOS TV but before I do I wanted to get...

    HDNet and G4 - please read if you have FiosTV

    I read somewhere else that Verizon has to block HDNet due to conflicts with local sports (e.g., hockey) and the fact that Verizon does not yet have the ability to blackout local sports. So, they've just decided not to use the channel until that capability is available. Not sure if it's true...

    (Rumor) Verizon CableCard and other news):

    I have a question in this area for Longhorn: Will the 2.0 cable cards be compatible with old cable slots but just not have the interactive feature? In other words, would I be able to use the 2.0 cable card with my current set-up? I have heard in other places that the 2.0 cable card will work...

    Good deal for CableCARD users?

    The cable guy in my area told me that they have been having terrible experiences with the cable cards in my area (motorola cards). He said they are cheap and break down very easy. Have others had problems with the Adelphia cable cards?

    Good deal for CableCARD users?

    Sorry, I didn't mean the in demand channels. I mean the two high definition channels with the names INHD1 and INHD2. This is part of the confusion because an Adelphia CSR told me that they were not available but I think they may be confusing these particular channels with in demand services.

    Good deal for CableCARD users?

    A question about Adelphia cable cards -- are you able to get INHD1&2 with them. In my area (northern VA) I was told that you can not get them.

    Verizon VA Info

    I'm trying to work at home here in Leesburg and I have this distration -- a verizon truck is right in front of my window as they are attaching the cables to the telephone polls here in Leesburg. Looks like they are finalizing hook-ups for the internet service here and the TV service (as soon as...

    Doing the happy dance!!

    Hey Susan! Hope you got all of your problems fixed. Here is a question: did you have a Comcast HD DVR before you signed up for Verizon? If so, how does the Verizon unit compare? Sounds like you think the Guide is much better -- how does it compare with the Comcast HD DVR? thanks in...

    Verizon Fios Television Installed Today

    Thanks for the info Kramer! Nice to know the PQ is excellent as we were hoping for! How do you like the guide for the DVR? As I understand it, the DVR is very similar to the Comcast Motorola unit but has a guide that was designed by Microsoft. Happy TV watching! We are all very jealous!

    New Geographic Areas Added to Verizon Fios's Website

    Not sure if this has been posted but the Verizon Fios website now shows three areas for channel line-ups on its website: North Texas, Fairfax County and Tampa, FL. I should note that the Fairfax County and Tampa channel line-ups still only include HDNET Movies and not HDNet. Not sure if this...

    Can I get just the HDTV HD service

    Yes. I first of all assume that you don't want to use an antenna through Dish. Otherwise, I would recommend that. With Adelphia, you can ask for the basic broadcast package along with the HD locals (and HD plus if you want it). They may give you a bit of a hassle as it is hard for them to...

    Verizon FiOS Set Top Boxes

    I found this link at another site which seems to describe the Microsoft program guide that will be used in the Moto HD DVRs by Verizon: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/6/3/663fe9c7-067b-41b3-b98d-d48cdf79c55c/MSTV_FE17_datasheet_English_public.pdf

    Verizon FiOS Set Top Boxes

    I wonder to what extent this will differ from my Moto 6412. I'm generally pretty happy with the unit so I can't complain. Just wondering if Verizon will come up with something noticeably better in some way with multi-room connection capabilities, significantly more storage or other features.

    Fios official TV Brochure & TV Line-up

    Very nice hd line-up! The only thing missing is IND1&2 which are probably my favorite channels. But perhaps they will add them. Am I reading things right that the channels above 35 will be digital? This would be a nice improvement for us cable users who are stuck watching a lot of popular...

    NEW HD channels......WHEN??!!!

    I have an HD DVR from Adelphia as well (a Moto 6412) and it works pretty well. However, the 942 from Dish does have multi-room capabilities and is considered an excellent product. Also, if you had an OTA antenna you would be able to get your other local HDs through Dish. But that is an...

    NEW HD channels......WHEN??!!!

    Thanks! I tried to switch to Dish and the 942 but had no line of sight. I live in the historic district of Leesburg and have some very large, old trees around my house. I do have LOS for the 61.5 but not the other Dish satellites. Perhaps I'll need to get out the chain saw!

    Getting HD Only Through Adelphia

    In case you only watch HD like me, I just thought I'd let everyone know about an option that I recently explored through Adelphia in order to just get my HD channels (I also get high speed internet through them). The best I could do was to just get my basic broadcast channels (2-34) along with...

    NEW HD channels......WHEN??!!!

    Hey Riff! Does this problem also apply to Loudoun County as well? I know that Winchester added Discovery HD, NFL HD and ESPN2 HD several months ago but it has not occurred in Loudoun. Is it likely that these channels will not be added in Loudoun until the Comcast takeover? If that is the...

    Hd Channels Not Coming In

    Also, check the set-up menu for the receiver. I have a 6412 and I first need to turn it off and then I press menu. This gives me the set up menu. You may want to make sure that your aspect ratio and resolutions are correct.

    HD DVR Setting

    I have the 6412 on two tvs and don't have a problems with it. There should be a setting for sd channels and one for hd channels. I get the SD channels on 480i at 4:3 and the HD on 1080i at 16:9. To get to the set-up, I believe that you turn off the receiver and then press menu.
