Don't be so quick to blame HBO for what was a FiOS problem.
Sorry if I came across that way. I was sort of joking about "rebooting HBO Comedy HD's server."
I was 90+% sure it was an issue with FIOS. Especially when others were saying they didn't have the same problem in some parts of the country.
I love the FIOS channel selection, but they have soooooooooooooo many problems. Yesterday there was yet another problem, an audio sync problem on HBO Comedy HD west. Some idiots on another site were telling me it was with my component cable (even though I am using HDMI). People on some of these websites are so quick to point out that the problem is with the end user's equipment. Guess what? IT IS NOT.
What irks me the most is that not only does Verizon customer service suck, but they make you jump through hoops with troubleshooting over the phone, only to waste your time and theirs, and then admit it is a problem at their end. I loathe dealing with them on the phone.
It is a shame they have a to die for channel selection, but the representation of the company sucks ahole. In their defense, they are in their infancy, vs most cable companies that have been around for years.
Yes, I like FIOS the service. But I am not a fanboy. I am so sick of the fanboys blaming my setup The problems I have had are with FIOS, at their end. and I am so sick of being told otherwise.
Thanks for your post and sorry I gave you the wrong idea of who I was blaming for the problem.
