    new hd channels

    did not notice this until this weekend but they added BBCAmerica HD (689) back in August. Also last Thursday they added Cartoon Network HD (757). The two channels i wanted the most that they were missing in HD so I am happy :).

    What is the latest DVR?

    I know you are thinking about going to the hopper, why don't you switch for a few months, try out fios off contract, if you like it stay, if not go back to dish and get the hopper for free as a new customer. or just try it out for a couple of months, go down to welcome pack on dish so you don't...

    What is the latest DVR?

    i don't think the bundle credits go away after two years. I might be wrong however. Those credits are there for bundling, not for signing up. I think you get an extra $5 the first year or two with a contract for signing up. Unless you buy the second hopper, or both, I don't think they will give...

    What is the latest DVR?

    yeah, if its just $5 more i would go 25/25, for us it was $10 more, and we really don't need higher upload speeds. So right now you are paying $17+$6=$23, if you have service plan, $29. Fios would be $19.99+$15.99=$35.98. And you will still save $34 a month. Hopper would be $7+6+4= $17 or $23w/...

    What is the latest DVR?

    there is only a disount for multi room dvr and 1 or more stb, so any other dvr in it wont count or if you have only dvrs. thats why i say make sure you get the new one if you are going to be paying that much. idk what your current setup is but an extra dvr on dish is $17 and they cant share.

    What is the latest DVR?

    and what so you mean dvr over wifi? the shareing is through moca, a wired connection, the box does not have wifi or need it. plus upload speed is not effected in your home network, ie between between devices. for instance i stream stuff from my computer to ps3, that can go as fast as it can upto...

    What is the latest DVR?

    no it is not more, they are the same price. there is no difference between a home dvr and a dvr, just software that is activated. so you only need one on the account to share. so the first would be 19.99, the second 16.99 weather you got two 7232s or 7216s or one of each.

    What is the latest DVR?

    Also, there is not a lot of differance between 15/5 and 25/25 unless you upload a lot. They let the 15Mbps go up to 20-25 anyway, only the upload is strickly capped. I usssally get around 2.5-3MBps, sometimes more, when downloading something, which translates to 20-24Mbps. That's why i never...

    What is the latest DVR?

    That seems like a lot, we have 3 dvrs, 2 stbs, and extreme with 15/5, hbo, and spanish pack, both are half off first year, and its going to be $170 plus $5 tax, and $185 the second year. or are you doing triple play?

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

    really what they should do is get rid of the .tv channels if they are hard up for space, or just roll them all into one, they just replay the same stuff over and over. I don't get them now, but I used too the last time I had fios and over two years I don't think I ever saw anything really new...

    What is the latest DVR?

    After a few days with fios and with Dish still fresh in my head I thought I would write a comparison for anyone that was wondering. Things that are the same or similar: HD PQ. Sorry, but I can’t tell a huge difference, they both look great and some channels still look bad. Like ESPN, can look...

    What is the latest DVR?

    The thing is not that they are trying to hide the facts, its that the CSR's usually don't have the services themselves. Remember Fios is still in a pretty limited area around the nation, so where ever thier call centers are they might not even be able to get it in their homes. The first CSR told...

    What is the latest DVR?

    The dvr actually has a restore function :), so someone accidently deleting something should not be a problem. Just tried it out and it worked perfectly.

    What is the latest DVR?

    ok, the installer said the ones we were using on the dish boxes might work but to check on online. He said usb should work, but have not tried it yet. I will just get one when or if i need more space if i need to get an eSATA one. And really like the new feature if you are on an sd channel and...

    and just tested it, the dvrs can watch anything on the other dvrs which is very nice.

    What is the latest DVR?

    Just finished setting up and everything is working well, the new boxes are very fast and responsive. We were actually supposed to get only one and then two of the older ones because the 7232 are in limited supply. But I was telling him that one of the reasons we left fios was because i hated the...

    What is the latest DVR?

    That's great if the dvrs can see each other, we can coordinate recordings that way so we are not doing things twice. The only thing i don't like is you saying anyone can delete, is there a way to protect or block that? What kind of ehd do you have connected to the two? We have three usb 1tb...

    What is the latest DVR?

    I am getting it Wednesday, I will post more then. But I used the new ones at my brothers house, they are Motorola still, model 7232, and have 500GB drive, and are sleek black with white numbers on the face plate. The EHD was supposed to be added on with the hd guide update, but I am not 100% on...

    Losing my mind - Thanks Verizon

    Don't pay them, just sue them, as you said another customer is using them so you returned them, sue them for double to cover your court costs and the fact you could not buy your car because of their mistake. Just threating to sue next time you talk to them could light a fire under their a$$...

    So how is FIOS TV & DVR?

    This is from another fourm, someone did a comparision on the price of fios hd dvr with tivo and moxi, I added in home dvr as well which is $20 per mo. You will break about even after about 3years if you go with either tivo or moxi. VZ HD DVR VZ HM DVR TiVo HD DVR...
