| So that's why the FiOS-inserted ads for the "movie package" says to tune to 340 to order the new channels...guessing it'll take a few weeks for this "feature" to be rolled out to other markets.
Upon seeing that commercial, I changed the channel to 340 and got the standard "you are not subscribed" error message.
Now they just need to add the ability to remove channels or STBs via the account settings at verizon.com. | |

| DirecTV allows you to add and remove packages from their website.
They used to allow you to do it at whim and prorated the charge. You could sign up for HBO to watch one show or movie you liked then cancel it afterwards and you'd only get charged for 1 day of service which came out to $0.50 or so. Later on they started enforcing a 1 month minimum but you could still cancel via the website after the month was over. | |

| I commented in the HD VOD thread about a week ago that I ordered the movie package through the TV last week in the NoVA area. Worked pretty well, certainly better than the hour on hold, four phone calls, being hung up on, and only speaking to one real person who couldn't help me that I spent at work trying to order it before coming home to find the ordering through the box worked. | |
