The reason you can see the guide data is that it is stored locally on your STB (the STB actually downloads many day's worth of guide data... I bet you can unplug the coax and still see it, haven't checked though)
This service unavailable message usually happens when they deactivate a box/boxes. I believe they go through their queue monthly and deactivate boxes that aren't registered "correctly".
Honestly there is a possibility that a tech will have to come out to fix it, but hopefully fiber solutions can set you straight remotely. Verizon is still figuring out how to manage this stuff. |

| For others who have the problem in future:
I called and they got 2 to work perfectly, try rebooting/reprograming/deactivating then activating the other 2 boxes and the problem continued. A tech will be out in 2 days to look at it and I'll keep everyone updated.
I also called the technician who did mine, and he said it may just be junk boxes. Again, I'll keep everyone updated. |
