    Should You Dump Fios for Directv?

    Interesting write-up. Thanks. I've decided to switch from FiOS to DTV. I'm actually very happy with FiOS with one exception...no MSG or FSN-NY in HD. I'm in Central NJ and up until now, despite having four choices for TV (FiOS, Patriot Media, Dish and DirecTV) there was no way to get those...

    FIOS 2.0 now available!!!!

    The new MPEG4 channels are getting rave reviews even from the most vocal critics. VZ is falling behind badly.

    New HD Channels?

    Sadly, Verizon is falling behind almost all of its competition, especially in the NY Metro area. Cablevision is adding HD at a pretty good clip and DirecTVs recent additions blow past VZ as well. The good thing is there is competition. If after my one year is up in a few months, VZ hasn't added...

    No Center ice package on FIOS????

    Bell ExpressVu. See the Canadian Satellite forum for details. Search first...it's been covered extensively.

    No Center ice package on FIOS????

    While it would be nice to see those packages, I don't agree with your assessment of the management. Those are not deal breakers to the majority of subscribers. Let's face it, FiOS is not looking to gain subs by getting people who have rabbit ears. They want to take subs away from cable and...

    Cv Vs Fios

    If you're a hockey or basketball fan, don't do it. MSG and FSN are not carried in HD on FiOS. Otherwise, FiOS has everyone beat, hands down.

    SNY-HD for NJ customers

    I'm a hockey fanatic. As much as I hate the Dolans, if I lived in CVC territory no way I would switch to FiOS. No MSG HD, FSN in HD or VS/Golf.

    Verizon FiOS and Sports Packages

    They can't legally refuse to negotiate with VZ. Whether VZ wants to pay what the others are paying is whole different story.

    Just made the switch to Fios Tv..

    Add me to the people that hate that display. I had the same HD STB with my cable company but the ability was built in to turn it off.

    FIOS DVR 30 second skip doesn't

    1. I don't have any problem with that. 2. That's coming in the next version of the guide. 3. That's already available. 4. Hopefully soon. It's a pain not knowing if it will work. 5. Again, I'm not having that problem. 6. Hear Hear! More HD in general. In NY/NJ MSG and FSN are sorely needed...

    FIOS DVR 30 second skip doesn't

    It's not gone....it's broken. I watched a recording of Cold Case last night and it worked perfectly. A couple days ago it didn't work at all. It comes and goes.

    FIOS DVR 30 second skip doesn't

    They didn't kill it on purpose. It comes and goes for me. They're well aware of the problem and working on a fix.

    And don't forget to run coax to the router.

    More HD Channels coming?

    It's a re-alignment to get all of the regional lineup the same. Hopefully after that, they'll start adding some more content.

    Is FIOS that GOOD ?

    As the others say...if you don't mind the boxes, it's pretty much a no brainer

    New Interactive Media Guide Coming To FIOS TV

    Well, that was buried quite nicely in there. Thanks. As long as we're on a roll here, with the cable company's software, I was able to completely turn off the front panel when the box was off. I know it sounds silly, but that clock lights up my entire bedroom. Any way you know of to kill it?

    New Interactive Media Guide Coming To FIOS TV

    Very easy to navigate and read. I've read reports of the boxes being slow to react and I've seen a bit of myself on the HD DVRs but the SD boxes don't exhibit that behavior. You can choose to either have the guide full screen or half screen and search feature seems easy enough though I...

    New Interactive Media Guide Coming To FIOS TV

    Well, it took the majority of the day, but after running home runs and replacing some other cabling to the HD sets everything is working nicely.

    New Interactive Media Guide Coming To FIOS TV

    That would be me. Here's a link: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17597243~start=40 Since the HD boxes (note that they are DVRs, but no new software) still have the old software that's my only source of comparison. It's quite nice but I'm having mucho problems keeping those SD boxes...

    That redacted PDF isn't all that redacted. Just open it in Illustrator and delete the black boxes.

    FiOS Rollout schedule

    VZ is doing TV installs in a lot of areas of NJ. They're not advertising it, but anyone with fiber in the area should keep checking the www.verizonfios.com website. I plugged my number in last Thursday and I had the great pleasure of being first out of my CO with TV.

    Fios in Wylie, Texas

    May I suggest calling VZ. IME, their sales people are very well trained and very courteous.
