Ya, but they want an extra 10.00 for HD Extreme to get the subscribed movie channels in HD. This is just wrong. Anyone else want to look into a class action? Didn't they promise any regular movie channel you subcribed to to be available in HD? To top it off, they cannot even place the...

I don't mean to be a stickler here, but mpeg4 compression, or compression in general, IS HDLite. Any compression of the video signal reduces the overall quality. In order to view the stream, something has to de-compress it back to it's original format. This causes some delay, even if it is...

Uhhhh? No HDLite??? I think you should specify where you learned this. I have read that this is not the case. in fact, I do not believe that they have the capability to deliver pure HD or uncompressed HD at all. While I don't object to people switching for the other problems it is not...

It could be a couple of things. First, is your anteana capable of recieving HD content. Most can, but some older ones are not. Second, how far are you from the broadcast towers. Most are located in the same pace on the top of a hill somewhere close to town. It may be that all you need is an...

Easy. Press Menu on the remote, select Settings then Video Settings then Video Format. You will want the bottom item 1080i 16:9. Hope this makes your viewing experience better.

Still on 1.0.3 here.

Sorry, I am looking at the new menu under Settings -> Favorite Channels -> Add/Remove Channels We use this a lot.

It can be done on the new guide. It's just a little more complicated than before.

OK, I gave it some time and now I will post. I was really pissed last weekend when, after recording 11 hours of HD content of new shows before the writers strike, I turned on my set and box and low and behold everything from Friday night back was gone. No, not completely gone. It still showed...

Box yes, adapter, no.

The basics are the same. Perhaps you wil obtain a better result asking if Fios carries the channels you watch. The list of channels is too comprehensive (on both services) for anyone to do a side by side for you. I know that Comcast offers the movie channels in HD like East and West and Fios...

New Channels Discovery is in Garland. Also CUBO, ION, and ION Life.

I stand corrected. However, there is a noticible difference between MPG compression and ACC if placed on a quality system and listened to side by side. Same goes for HD. Compression delays the frame sequences which results in blurring during heavy motion or screen sweeps. Hardly noticible...

HD Lite BAD (D*) - True HD GOOD (VZ) ScoBuck, you need to read up on HD Lite. Here is a great way to tell the difference. Watch an HD football game. When the camera pans left or right you will notice a blur on HD Lite (D*). This does not happen with VZ. VZ broadcasts in true HD, non...

Cablevision is not any worse than Time Warner, Cox, AT&T, or whatever it will be next week here in Texas. Poor video quality, slow and intermittent internet connections and piss por customer service. At least VZ provides a good picture quality and rockin Internet access. I too am ashamed...

I think that you are mis-informed. CV currently does have more HD, but that will soon change and they are rate limited by transmission media. As for Internet VZ offers 100meg. That is much more than 50/50. Costs is also less for VZ on the 100 meg than the CV 50 meg. In addition, VZ offers a...

No, it was acquired by one of the other providers and they hold exclusive rights to it. Sorry.

OK, it did not take long. One recorder erased all the recordings that it had in it. The other missed a bunch of programs that were set up to record. Can't delete a recording once you finish watching it without traversing the entire menu system from scratch! :mad: While it is nice to...

Will do. We doa lot of recording so if it happens I will notice it. As for maintenance, I seriously doubt any new code so soon after rollout, but then again, this is Verizon and they don't operate with a full tank on anything else so.....

Garland recieves new guide Well, I got it last night. I will reserve judgment until I use it for a few days. Once I get a feel for it I will be more than happy to share my opinion with everyone. I can say straight out that it does look better than the old guide.

Calm down Speck. I spoke with ALL the other VZ subscribers and we have a plan. On Friday, the day most companies allow casual day, we are ALL going to show up for work stark naked. Yup, butts a bouncin, boobs a swayin in protest.:yikes Be sure to paint a VZ on your chest and walk proudly...

Actually, you are correct but also incorrect. 10 Gig is the current limit per channel. Fiber can be channalized utilizing DWDM giving many channels of 10gig capacity. For those curious on how this is done (in basic langauge), the light is broken into multiple colors and each color is a...

Go ahead and spring for the HD boxes up front. If pricing changes you will get stuck with upgrading your costs if you upgrade recievers later plus you will have to have an installer come out to change the box, which I believe they charge for. The HD box works just fine on an SD set.

Well, I am not sure where you are coming from. It makes no sense to continue to transmit SD with HD available. Even with our HD reciever I can wath the HD channels on my SD television., so you really would not be loosing anything. In addition, some companies, like Best Buy, are not carrying...

Interpertation of Regulation It will be interesting to see how VZ interperets the Federal regulation against 'broadcasting' non-HD content after 2009. Since they technically are not 'broadcasting' will they comply with the new rules or continue converting channels to SD? Will we still get the...
