    Verizon FIOS Update (Clearwater, FL):

    I was at the State Fair last month and stopped by the FIOS exhibit. I asked the girl when FIOS would be in my area. She plugged in my address and got nothing, then called someone and got nothing again. Bottom line...same answer as the Verizon website, NOTHING! I'm thinking they went right past...

    2 HDDVRs in 1 Room...Can remote address be changed?

    I guess I'll just use my piece of aluminum again. It's big enough to do a good job of blocking the ir and as far as I'm concerned it really doesn't look all that bad.

    Does BHN have the Brrrrriiiip problem like DirecTV?

    Thanks for the response. This problem is the primary reason I'm considering leaving DirecTV. It has been getting worse and worse...up to several times in any given program. It even shows up now and then on OTA programming. :( I can handle once in a while as long as that's all...once in a...

    2 HDDVRs in 1 Room...Can remote address be changed?

    Thanks for the response. It wasn't what I wanted to hear, but it's pretty much what I expected. I have a piece of powder painted aluminum that I had bent up to put in front of the DVR that I'm not watching (from when I was with BHN a few years ago). I guess I'll have to dig it out and use it if...

    2 HDDVRs in 1 Room...Can remote address be changed?

    Picture this...2 HDDVRs sitting side by side and connected to a common HDTV (for those times when there are 3 or 4 things to watch or record at the same time). Is there a way to change the address of one box and remote (like you can with satellite TV boxes)? I wouldn't want to change the...

    Verizon FIOS Update (Clearwater, FL):

    I know I shouldn't do this...but, what does Central Illinois have to do with a Clearwater, FL thread? While I'm on the soapbox...why are you shouting?

    Verizon FIOS Update (Clearwater, FL):

    Last year they were up near Curlew Rd. If they are now doing fiber near Nursery & Highland that means they must have skipped right over us near the Countryside Mall. Just my luck! :(

    BHN Tampa HD sports vs D*

    Nor does BHN have ESPNU. :( Not to hijack the thread or anything, but is the D* exclusive Extra Innings thing a done deal yet...and will it be for this year or for next year?

    Is The Remote For SA-8300 Addressable?

    I'd like to add another Scientific-Atlanta 8300 DVR to my living room. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the remote address (like with Dishnet) so I could control each box with a different remote?

    Mediacom HDTV Offerings in the QC Area

    Thanks garn9173. I see you're in Ankeny...so it was nice of you to research the Moline area. I notice that CBS and NBC are not included in the HDTV offerings...can you shed any light on this? From doing some quick research on the 6412, it looks like a step back from the SA-8300 that...

    Mediacom HDTV Offerings in the QC Area

    Has anyone had any dealings with Mediacom in the Quad City, IL, area? I am particularly interested in any information on HDTV service and equipment, but I am also interested in internet speed and any general information about them. TIA.

    [BRIGHT HOUSE] Is Tampa scheduled to go all-digital?

    At least we're lucky enough to have cable competition. I'm pleased so far with BHN, but will be more pleased when they go all digital...and even more pleased when I see the Verizon trucks on Countryside Blvd. :)

    Rain Fade In SW Florida?

    I'm about 100 miles or so north of where your folks are and on the coast. Like Mobile, we can get some major rain in a hurry. With the dish correctly aimed, the rain fade isn't as bad as you would expect. I can't really remember being down over 30 minutes and usually it's only 10 minutes or so...
