FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) in Verizon FIOS TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20993008 en Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:36:37 EDT Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:36:37 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21248139 randonee :

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?

    •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).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21173913 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:52:42 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21172927 marvin1 : Yup, you can pretty much guarantee that they will need the wiring panel for your house, the tech needed mine for about an 45 minutes and my house is newer:)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21172927 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:08:49 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21170767 sashwa : Okay. :) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21170767 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:51:48 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21170760 anon : No, I meant for those installing FIOS...my bad on not being clear....I have comcast, switching to FIOS.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21170760 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:49:58 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21170749 sashwa : This is the Verizon FiOS TV Forum, brockp.

I'd do this if I actually had service. My install date is next Monday. I ordered the HMDVR and std. STB because the CSR said the HD STB wouldn't work with the HMDVR. Based on your response I decided to change my order and go with the HMDVR and an HD STB. The second CSR I spoke with knew about the software update via a technician and said all was OK.

Apparently until the software roll-out is completed nation-wide they're not telling the CSRs. I can kind of understand, but I think it'd be better if the CSRs knew which markets supported which features (maybe that's too much information?!?) so they didn't confuse us poor customers. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21124821 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:03:53 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21124772 darcilicious :

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21077984 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:47:11 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21077942 tosh9i : Is it still possible to get "3 free set top boxes"]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21077942 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:36:05 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21077232 mikbro : 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!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21077232 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:10:10 EDT Re: FIOS TV Live Tomorrow in Lynnwood WA (99 hd stations) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21074267 drusoicy : 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.

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.

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.
