    Program Guide issues since 10/1

    That would be frustrating! :mad: Have to set it all up all over again. If so many of us are having the same problem, I think it would be obvious that the issue is on their side, not ours.

    Program Guide issues since 10/1

    I was wondering if the UHD issue was just local to my area - I see it is a bigger problem. Has anybody called VZ about this issue yet?

    Requesting addition STB requires Appointment!?

    Speaking of game interuptions: I'm still also kind of ticked that I had to endure a minute long COMCAST commercial during the beginning of the final World Cup game. Not sure how that happened - especially with FiOS HD. Different story, but otherwise I have not had any service related issues...

    Requesting addition STB requires Appointment!?

    I have a friend that will be staying at the house for a few months, and thought for an extra $4 it wouldn't be a big deal to just get another STB to set up in his room. I mean, how hard can it be? Well, today I learned that it requires another appointment and to have a tech come out an...

    Who Do You Call

    Looking through my notes, I have a 1-800-567-6789 number as well as what you have. I'm not sure if it is the right one though. I will say that I really never had to wait too very long when I called in. I usually tend to call a little before 5PM though - so that may be part of it too. I know...

    anyone have multiroom dvr yet

    Is it just me - or does anybody else think it is absurd that Verizon wants to charge an extra $7 a month to activate a feature that runs on my own home network, and does not require a change in equipment? Why not just have a one time fee to activate the feature?

    anyone have multiroom dvr yet

    After doing some research, I did find that apples for apples the only company that compares in price is Dish Network (which even then is still a little more pricey on the content side). The issue I'm running into is that my wife doesn't care too much about HD programming and does care a lot...

    anyone have multiroom dvr yet

    Based on this issue - I'm actually considering switching to a different service. FiOS has a great image quality and such - but my wife is giving me more greif than the HD image is worth. Not to mention that in typical VZ style, they are nickling and diming where they can. I'm starting to...

    Finally...quality TV movie listings!

    I have to wonder why anybody would want to keep the copper lines. The fiber comes up the NID (Network Inteface Device) outside of the house, from there it is copper as always (Cat 5 for the internet, and typical cable for the TV). It is not fiber to the TV or to the router, just to the NID.

    Media Center coming soon

    I noticed this last weekend as well along with "Widgets". I hope this is related to the multi room DVR too cause my wife hates not having that feature.

    Lip sync off on DVR

    I would like to think I would notice this issue if I had it, but I have not noticed it on my equipment. I am using the Dolby 5.1 as well and the only difference I notice is that the volume seems to be slightly lower than the regular stereo connection, but I do not notice any out of sync (sound...

    Chances of getting FiOS

    Here in Carrollton, TX is was a city wide implementation. Rich and poor and middle class alike. For what it's worth, the big plan is to get rid of all the copper wires, and replace them with Fiber. If you are in a Verizon territory (that is, if Verizon provides local telephone service to your...

    FiOS Software Downloads (updates)

    I'm reading a lot about certain updates coming and several have received them to correct one thing or another. I'm wondering, how do you get these downloads? I'm having several issues with my DVR box - including lag when hitting a button on the remote control. I'm thinking the updates might...

    Problems with FIOS VOD Service

    Thanks for the clarification. I thougth initially that you were talking about the cable wire, not the power cord. Thanks again for the tip. :up EDIT: Just thought I'd add - I did as recommended and it worked flawlessly.

    Problems with FIOS VOD Service

    I have a problem with my SD box not connecting to VOD in the bedroom. I will try to disconnect and reconnect to see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the tip.

    My FIOS TV first impressions

    I previously had the Dishnetwork DVR, and recently changed over the FiOS DVR. I do notice a slight lag from when I hit the button, to when the action actually takes place on the TV. The lag is annoying. For what its worth though, I got very used to the "Advance" (Going forward 30 seconds) and...

    I didn't think Verizon had contracts. There is a one year agreement for sure on their service?

    Voicewing with Fios

    Verizon FiOS service can be provided without a phone number - at least they have allowed me to do so. The only draw back of this is that you are required to put a Credit Card on file with them to automatically charge each month.
