    Poor Audio on a Couple of Channels

    Does anyone else notice poor almost "tinny" audio on certain channels. Everything else with Verizon has been stellar, but this audio bug is driving me crazy. The best way to describe it is mono, compaired to a strong sounding stereo. I only notice it on FX, Discovery, and Comedy Central, so...

    The Wait is over for Pasco County!

    I'm up in Wesley Chapel. Right on the border of Pasco and Hillsborough, over by Bruce B. Downs. Now that it has passed the county, I only have to wait about 2 months until they'll come out and install it. :D

    DVR question about watching 2 shows

    At this time Verizon STBs are only made to work on one TV. However in the future, Verizon is working on software that will allow you to stream programs recorded on your DVR to a remote STB somewhere else in your house. Last time I heard they were looking for an end of summer rollout. This system...

    Comcast Ups Cable Speed to 16Mbit

    I'll second that. At peak times, 8pm - 11pm, I have never noticed a slow down.

    Another FiOS TV Review

    A small fiber connection is ran directly to your home from a neighborhood terminal. The fiber enters a box which Verizon calls the ONT. The light reader in this ONT interperts the signal and then basically outputs 3 separate services, telephone, internet, and tv. From the ONT these services are...

    MAC OS X FIOS users?

    It's called the Apple Broadband Tuner (my bad) http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/broadbandtuner10.html Another way that I have found to boost the internet speed is to use FireFox with the Faster Fox extension installed. This is basically my setup (with the above tuner installed) and it...

    MAC OS X FIOS users?

    I haven't really checked the bandwidth on my Mac (although I should), but it seems just as fast as my XP machine that is sitting right next to it. I good download is the Apple Broadband Booster or something like that. It is a small program released by Apple specifically meant to optimize...

    Doing the happy dance!!

    Yes, you can use your own router independently (that is, not daisy chained with the verizon d-link). There are a few settings you have to change from the default configuration, but it is very doable. On the linksys for example, the main one is to change the nework type to PPPoE. I am not sure...

    Verizon's Fios TV website updated

    Found this little tid-bit while browsing the Channel Lineup: The real interesting part about it is that those channels only show up under the "La Conexión" package page. Good news for the people in New York and the possibility of a Regional Sports package.

    Verizon's FIOS completes Scripps deal! Includes MTVHD, HGTV-HD & FOOD NETWORK HD!

    When I said "My only question" that represents my opinion as stated in the form of a question using the keyword MY. And the fact is, most teenagers do not care about HD, you might have but if you ask the vast majority of teens out there what high definition is, they will not know. Mind...

    Dish's standard SD and HD channels are still very good IMO, it's their local channel PQ that sucks.

    Verizon FiOS Set Top Boxes

    The attached files are B-Role footage from Verizon that shows a pan of the STB (which is the HD-DVR) and the second shows a few screens of the GUI, mainly the full-screen programming guide.

    verizon fios tv (keller tx) tv listings from yahoo

    Are the channels below 100 "analog" channels in that you don't need a set top box to receive them or is that just for the local channels which are below 30?

    Verizon's FIOS completes Scripps deal! Includes MTVHD, HGTV-HD & FOOD NETWORK HD!

    The MTV-HD is news to me. My only question is why waist the time, money and bandwidth on the teen-20s crowd, which really does not appreciate HD :confused:
