| Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) You can get a listing of the nat'l channels available in zip code 98036 here: »www22.verizon.com/Content/FiOSTV···neup.htm
Enter that zip code and you should be set. You should expect to also get most if not all your locals though it may be a while before the PEGs show up. | |

| Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) said by matcarl :Using that zip code only brings up the limited amount of HD's unless they didn't update the web yet Better than nothing Especially since there's no longer a default national listing available. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "limited" -- not the same as NYC no, but similar to the OR and IN lineups, and the channel numbers are correct for the post-realignment lineup. | |

Lynnwood, WA | Got a call from verizon today. They pushed it back a week. I would scan the channel list, but I gave it to a friend. If you go into the Lynnwood Verizon Wireless store I am sure they can print one out for you. | |

Lynnwood, WA | The new lineup appears to be online @ verizon.com (lookup by one of the supported zip codes like 98036).
It seems to match the one that the wireless stores were hadning out. | |

Funny thing is some people are getting told that installs are backlogged to as far as november! We had approximatley 11k presales for video so that is ALOT of catching up to do out there. | |

1 edit | Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) They actually called me up on Friday and were in the process of scheduling an install date for next week when all of a sudden the rep goes "Uh oh... looks like your area has not been tested yet. I will have to call you back in a week."
Talk about getting your hopes up and then.. 
On a good note, the current promotion is a HD DVR free for 1 year! | |

| Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) Noticed "Seattle" is now listed on the verizon.com website with an online channel guide.
I noticed a new channel in the Sports section:
America Channel (#86)
I know that this was going to be a new regional sports channel rolling out - and that each region of the country would get a feed. (Comcast was going to carry this as well)
I wonder if the rest of the FIOS footprint will carry the regional version of the station?

3 edits | Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) I'm not scheduled to get FIOS TV installed here in Bothell until 10/8 but this lineup change slightly disappoints me. Not just the "loss" of this channel but there's no RFD (with Imus as the only lure for me there) nor CBUT with Hockey Night in Canada just a month away! I'm hoping that it's just temporary and they will add these channels soon enough...especially since Verizon doesn't have NHL Network.
At least the assumed Portland area-based Comcast Sportsnet NW listed in the Seattle lineup seems to broadcast 50 hockey games a year so maybe I'll get my 2 additional hockey games a week fix that way. *crosses fingers*
Edit: I just noticed that they also "deleted" the FSN HD channel from the lineup? WTF? NO wonder you guys weren't getting the FSN HD. I wonder what the problem is there?!? | |

Bothell, WA | Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) Never had Comcast. I was a Big C-Band Satellite user.
FIOS is close to Master Broadcast downloads from a good Sat signal. FIOS is better, (sharper, more color vibrancy) then a 2nd Generation Sat channel. | |

Bothell, WA | Odd that the Fox Sports NW is not available with the Extreme HD package. Also the Local KIRO Sub channel that is carrying the Retro TV Network isn't there either. Odd. | |

| I just got Fios TV installed yesterday, in Silver Lake, and canceled Comcast. We got the same channels and more for $30 less a month.
The HD picture is really great compared to Comcast, and the Guide is a huge F&@#&#ing leap over Comcast. It's a bit of a clone of the the "twist" UI on the Xbox 360, but it works well, and it isn't laggy, and half the screen isn't taken up by ads.
The router sucks, though, we've been having network hiccups. I'll have to make their router just do the TV. | |

| Got FiOS TV installed yesterday in Bothell 98012 area code. Had 3 Comcast DVRs and two TiVos with Comcast CableCards.
Switched out for 3 FiOS HD DVRs, and my TiVos both needed two Cablecards, since Verizon apparently doesn't yet have any multistream cards yet. Install took about two hours. I had already been an Internet customer, with 50/20 speeds. I maxed out internet, and had HD playing on all three televisions, and all was fine without a hiccup. I like it!
The official launch is this Tuesday, September 9. I will actually be speaking at the launch at the Lynnwood Convention Center as a third party to tout how fantastic FiOS is as an overall service.

| Just had my install today... had them install a DVR and two cablecards for my TivoHD.
The FIOS DVR went fine and appears to be working ok (all channels subed to are received). The Cablecards took a supervisor to come out and check as the tech was "new"... finally I am getting some channels, mostly locals.
How long did it take for you to get all the channels you subscribed to on the cablecards? Most (non local) channels just come up grey screen.
I get the same results when I Test Channels under the cable card menu... the result appears to be the same regardless of which cable card is selected.
Thanks! | |

| Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) said by tosh9i :Is it still possible to get "3 free set top boxes" Are you talking about the three free "digital adapters" that are part of the "GO DIGITAL" transition for most Vz markets? If so, then probably not for you if the Seattle VHO is all digital from the start (like the OR VHO was) -- and I suspect it is.
However if you're talking about some other promotion, then your best bet is to check the website and/or call up Vz. | |

| I was in the Verizon Plus store today and the 3 set top box for free is still available. I also have FIOS TV in Kenmore. It is by far the best picture compared to comcast which I just disconnected. There is no comparison. I counted 98 HD channels available on the Premier Plan which I have. HD box w/DRV is easy to do and I really like the menu. Installation was a breeze and they provided all the component cables. Can't beat that because those cable cost $$$$. I also have the 20/5 package w/ wireless router. I got true speeds as well on speakeasy speed test. | |

I called 888-godigital (888-463-4448) and they said that the 3 free digital adapters weren't available in WA state. I tried my local Verizon Plus store today (Lynnwood) and they had no clue what I was talking about. I called godigital again today and they said the same thing, they can only handle east coast accounts. Has anyone been able to get 3 free digital adapters in Washington state?

| If I'm reading the channel line-up right for Bothell (98012) they don't provide Fox Sports NW HD? That'd be a bummer. I don't care to watch the disaster of a baseball team in HD, but catching some of the college football games in HD, when available, would be nice.
Did the IMG 1.6 update get pushed out to the Seattle area? Does this allow the use of an HD STB with the HMDVR? The CSRs on the phone are pretty adamant that only the std. STB will work with the HMDVR. | |

| Here's what my installer did:
•Disconnected the coax at the corner of my house from the comcast feed
•Connected the now dangling coax to the ONT
•Connected the AT into my coax network via the 8-way splitter in my structured wiring box
•Tested the signal strength at the wall jacks for both of my TVs that were being "activated"
•Installed the HM-DVR and HD STB
•Activated the TV service and the two boxes
•Gave me a quick how-to on the boxes
We actually had some trouble because the home runs from the 8-way splitter to the two separate rooms both failed the signal strength tests. He was able to get the tests to pass when he tested from the two connectors on the 8-way, so there's something fishy about those home runs... mind you, the house is less than 3 yrs old. 
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: when he activated the boxes he used a software on a USB drive that automatically updated the firmware on the router (if it isn't the latest) and changed some settings on the router as well.
All-in-all I expected about two hours for the install, instead it took close to 4 (thanks to those failed tests). | |
