It amazes me that with how much Verizon has put into Fios that it lacks some basic things that Dish, Direct and U-Verse can do.
Like a TRUE 16x9 guide? Who knows why Verizon didn't insist Motorola incorporate a 16x9 guide, like AT&T did.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21705559 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:05:37 EDT Re: Charging..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21705078 gdm : It amazes me that with how much Verizon has put into Fios that it lacks some basic things that Dish, Direct and U-Verse can do.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21705078 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:40:20 EDT Re: Charging..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21704930 Lee GWB : No..

Hi,
It is free but the Home DVR is what you are paying for.

I think that's a little ridiculous to charge for the ability to remotely control your DVR.

The DISH one sounds interesting. Hopefully AT&T does some thing U-Verse along those lines.
The whole thing is kinda silly. It only works on a few select Verizon phones. It should work on all phones with the ability to access the internet, but they cornered themselves with proprietary software that takes way too much time to test and implement on each device.

They charge an extra $4 over a standard DVR. ($19.99 vs. $15.99) The Home Media DVR allows you to stream media from your PC to your TV along with some other features, such as playing back recorded shows on multiple TV's from one location. So the price increase is integrated into other services.

Still, the whole thing is poorly implemented. I should, and would like to program my DVR from any device with access to the internet, but I don't need the other features.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21704548 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:19:48 EDT Charging..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21704255 gdm : I think that's a little ridiculous to charge for the ability to remotely control your DVR.
