| reply to FIOS4cable Nothing here either. For 45 minutes. I'm in Manhattan, midtown East.
Every single channel has the same message: This channel is currently unavailable.
The message gives me two options.
Press B on my remote to troubleshoot, which I did.
My set-top box rebooted, but took me right back to the same message.
The other option was to call an 866 number it listed on the screen. It told me, once connected, to give them something called a quick code. Which I did.
It then asked me for my unit address. That was also listed in the onscreen message, so I gave them that as well.
After about 30 to 60 seconds, it informed me that it could not find my account information. It told me it was going to put me on hold and transfer me to a live person.
I've now been on hold for 45 minutes.
The outage happened to me a minute or two after midnight, I believe.
Everyone having the same experience?
Anyone have any idea whether or not it's a situation where the service is back in operation but there's a magic procedure I have to do at my end to re-access it?
Thanks. |

Thanks. As the OP had reported, there's an outage. There's no need to be on hold. There's nothing to do but wait for it to come back. |

Blackout Just look at twitter, looks like all of NYC is pissed.
Anyone with Verizon wireless service having problems? I don't have VZW but looks like some people experiencing issues there too so far. |

 | reply to criggs Yes I am having the exact same problem on Long Island. It also seem to start right after midnight, was TBS dvred and when I went to live TV I got the same error message on that channel. Most other channels like ESPN, HBO and Starz seems to be having the same problem. I called the number as well and got no assistance. |

 | reply to FIOS4cable There goes Key Largo tonight on TCM. I'll have to get it the next time I guess. |

| Okay, got a reply, the first official communication from them at all. Here it is:
"Sorry for the delayed response,getting swamped with ?'s about the issue...They are currently working to restore the channels,no ETA yet^jr"
I'd like to post this on Twitter, but am not Twitter savvy. What do I do so that folks who do not follow me see my tweet? If I create a hash tag, is that the way to do it? Thanks. |

 | Verizon wireless is working fine in NYC. |

They already know what's going on, another tweet isn't going to push them to fix it faster. -- Verizon FiOS 35/35 | »bit.ly/PTg8Qn |

 | reply to FIOS4cable First major outage in NYC? |
|
 | reply to FIOS4cable Since most of the NYC is missing the majority of our channels, I just want to know if we're getting a discount on our bill or something??
Any chance or hope |
