Scenario for Question #1:
I'm going on a trip and set the DVR to record several programs while I'm gone. The electricity goes out for some period of time, but goes back on BEFORE the airing of the programs I want to record.

Will the DVR automatically update it's own time and date and proceed to record the programs I've scheduled?

Question #2:
I have a DVD recorder. Can I copy a program from the DVR to the DVD recorder for archive purposes (or to free up space on the DVR). I realize that the DVD recorder will not record a program in HD.

New to FOrum...not Fios.
I have a brand new HDTV that we have installed..everything works ok until we wish to record a program.

All efforts to record cause the HDTV screen to go blue "NO SIGNAL". We have to reboot the set top box and unplug and replug the tv each time.

Any advice to eliminate this excercise?

The operative word is TRIED. I can't begin to describe my frustration with VERIZON - but I'll here goes:
1. Dropped Comcast for Phone and Internet service. That worked OK.
2. Updated my internet to FIOS because I got a notice that I qualified for the "triple play" deal on phone, internet and TV.
3. Once I got signed up for the Fios internet I found out that my municipality had not "approved" the FIOS TV so I could only get the internet upgrade.
4. Went that route in September and was told I'd get a call around November 18 to schedule the FIOS TV.
5. That never happened.
6. Called Verizon on Nov 21 and asked and was told to call back. Called back at the end of Nov and set up an installation date of Dec 4 between 1PM and 5PM.
7. At 5:15 PM on Dec 4 no one had showed up so I called and called and was given the run around until after 6 PM when Verizions phones go down for the day.
8. I'm ready to drop all my verizon services if I could!!!

The DVR records the time for a selected show based on the guide data. If the guide data shows a football game from 1-4, that is what it records. if the game goes into OT for 30 mins and ends at 4:30, it won't record past 4 unless you, the customer, pad the time at the end of the recording, just in case.

Just to confirm and make sure it wasn't just a "sale" pushed. Fios TV has an option on their DVR to do an equivalent to "season pass" - where you pick a show to record and it will remember to record the show the next season and also remember if the shows time/day changes??
It records based on the guide data. if it is up to date/accurate, so should the recording. if the time changes for an unknown reason, like a football game runs late, you'd be out of luck. It uses the guide to determine what to record and when.

Also can someone tell me with the MR DVR - my son can say - watch a pre-recorded show while I watch either live tv or another pre-recorded show?
Yes. As long as the recorded show is SD. You can't playback on a remote STB a HD program.
