Where is the Page Button? in Verizon FIOS TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17783756 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:46:03 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:46:03 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17812277 Jon Purkey : Another option for turning on/off older TVs with the STB is to just plug the TV into the power outlet on the back of the STB. You may also need to select the option on the STB options menu to make it work if it isn't the default. This probably only works with TVs that have a manual power button/switch.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17812277 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 12:22:47 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17809821 GeekGirl1 : G-NJ: It's the Philips. Found it. Thanks.
I dug out the instruction sheet I had for the remote to compare to the file. It's the same 10 page on-line manual crammed into a single sheet of paper. No wonder I missed it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17809821 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 21:32:00 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17808792 Light Guy : FYI: If you enter a channel number when in the Guide, the Guide will jump to that page. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17808792 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 17:49:12 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17808679 GeekNJ : You can tell the remote not to power off the TV and the STB at the same time.

I'm guessing you have the newer Philips remote. Go to »www22.verizon.com/content/fiostv···port.htm and click Go next to the Philips remote and look on Page 10 for controlling the power.

I prefer the Power button turning on the TV & STB (and my receiver too).

Thought that was a bit odd. Thanks for the info.

Question: What about the ability to independently turn the STB off from the TV? With my ComCast remote, I could hit "STB" and it would power down without the TV doing anything. Now, they're both cycling together. Not good if I want to enter the diagnostics menu, which is Power Off then Select and watch the display at the same time (TV must still be on).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17808656 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 17:25:54 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17788104 Jon Purkey :

That blows... Lack luster software coding and I gotta scan through the channels one at a time.. Evil... Just another nail in the coffin making me want that Tivo Series 3 more and more.
You should still be able to jump around the guide by entering the channel #s. I have the old remote and that's how I do it. It's quicker and also easier than trying to reach the page +/- buttons. It's the day +/- buttons I would not want to be without. I sure hope they continue to work with the new software.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17788104 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 11:23:47 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17787105 DallasHD :

Me and you both. It must be good to be the oblivious 800 pound gorilla! I bet the folks making decisions in the FiOS TV unit have only seen presentations of the product or maybe played with it in a controlled environment once or twice (if that). ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17787105 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 06:58:57 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17785297 albyva :

And they can't tweak the current UI to accept the new code in addition to the old?

Ooops.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17784124 Tue, 06 Feb 2007 18:44:52 EDT Re: Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17784068 GeekNJ : Yeah, it is a really big 'Oops we didn't think anyone would notice' move.

»www22.verizon.com/nroneretail/nr···t_nc.pdf

Yes, this is a problem with the 'new remote' and the 'old software' ... lack of page +/- (and day +/-).

The problem should be fixed by 'mid-year' when Verizon releases their 'new software'.

Till then ... you could:
- complain to Verizon and try to get them to send you an 'old remote' (note: these don't support 30 sec skip)
- buy any of the (several) universal remotes available that support the Motorola STBs and have dedicated page +/- (and day +/-) buttons / functions
- grin and bear it and wait for 'mid-year']]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17783895 Tue, 06 Feb 2007 18:09:36 EDT Where is the Page Button? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17783756 albyva :

I have the HD DVR box and after clicking the (Guide) button, I want to page up and down the listings. Yet it seems like the only buttons that work are the ones the force you to scroll channel by channel in the guide instead of Paging through the guide.

There is even a button marked (Page) on the remote, but it doesn't do jack squat. Any clues?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17783756 Tue, 06 Feb 2007 17:49:19 EDT
