Re: Welcome to the Verizon FIOS TV Forum
Gee, thanks people for going to a "passive optical network"!
I love you... PON BPON GPON whatever! Dont forget the POTS people who in time will be GONE, GONE, see ya. Thanks for your hard work over the decades. FIOS techs, eventually, with enough support from the community, you too will be dwindled down. Get it! PASSIVE... Just snap that apc connector and run with it to a LAY OFF. Better yet, contractors, so Verizon wont have to dish out medical and retirement... Again, Thank you community for putting all these guys out of work. You just wont need the manpower to support a "PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK"> keep up the tradition! |

It used to record on the old guide after a reset, it no longer does that. The box has to be turned on for the reset to complete and recordings to start.
Usually you can copy to a DVD player. |

Here's a couple of questions for DVR users.
Scenario for Question #1:
I'm going on a trip and set the DVR to record several programs while I'm gone. The electricity goes out for some period of time, but goes back on BEFORE the airing of the programs I want to record.
Will the DVR automatically update it's own time and date and proceed to record the programs I've scheduled?
Question #2:
I have a DVD recorder. Can I copy a program from the DVR to the DVD recorder for archive purposes (or to free up space on the DVR). I realize that the DVD recorder will not record a program in HD.
Thanks. |

They only want us to use these two threads at the top for IMG. No one else has reported getting this call but you and being that you are an anon poster and we have been fooled before, we all have our doubts. Sorry. |

Hello.
New to FOrum...not Fios.
I have a brand new HDTV that we have installed..everything works ok until we wish to record a program.
All efforts to record cause the HDTV screen to go blue "NO SIGNAL". We have to reboot the set top box and unplug and replug the tv each time.
Any advice to eliminate this excercise?
Thanks

hello, i'm new to this forum and appreciate any help.
i recently had fios tv installed and have children in the house so i set up parental controls. they work fine for the regular channels but i still can access the on demand adult section, and instead of seeing "adult programing" the different channelnames are there for all to see. i just want to avoid the kids seeing sexually explicit channel names. when you get to the movie itself after about three clicks of the remote the actual movie title only shows adult programming. any way to shut the entire adult section of on demand down. thanks
There are three different versions of the guide currently deployed, so it would be helpful to either know which version you are running (or where you are located). |

Don't have experience with parental controls myself but I suggest you start a new thread for this. I don't think many people regularly check the Welcome thread. Good luck. |

 I thought comcast service sucked big time so I tried to switch to Verizon. The operative word is TRIED. I can't begin to describe my frustration with VERIZON - but I'll here goes:
1. Dropped Comcast for Phone and Internet service. That worked OK.
2. Updated my internet to FIOS because I got a notice that I qualified for the "triple play" deal on phone, internet and TV.
3. Once I got signed up for the Fios internet I found out that my municipality had not "approved" the FIOS TV so I could only get the internet upgrade.
4. Went that route in September and was told I'd get a call around November 18 to schedule the FIOS TV.
5. That never happened.
6. Called Verizon on Nov 21 and asked and was told to call back. Called back at the end of Nov and set up an installation date of Dec 4 between 1PM and 5PM.
7. At 5:15 PM on Dec 4 no one had showed up so I called and called and was given the run around until after 6 PM when Verizions phones go down for the day.
8. I'm ready to drop all my verizon services if I could!!!

You can return your boxes at the Verizon Plus store in Irving. It's at 183 and MacArthur by Target. |

I have moved from the area where I had FiOs TV. I need to return the set top boxes, but no one will tell me how to do that. Any suggestions? All the numbers I have called are automated and not helpful at all. |

This is a mistake, right? I've been waiting for NBA League Pass since I signed up, and have been told repeatedly that there is nothing in the works (from both inDemand and Verizon) Please tell me I'm wrong!!
