<title>FIOS TV Central website access with Non AT Router?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21120487</link>
<description><![CDATA[All,

After finally having enough with the undersized NAT table in the ActionTec, this weekend I decided to undertake the task of configuring my personal router as the outside router and setting up the ActionTec internal to my network.  I was pretty successful for the most part.  There's still a couple things that I am having issues with and also need some clarification as to the steps in the FAQ.

First a bit about my setup.  I was an early FIOS Internet(Pre TV) adopter and at that time, they were wiring ONT's to be ethernet from the ONT to the router so that was not a hurdle/extra step that I had to deal with thankfully.  I had since replaced the inadequate D-Link that was given to me with a Buffalo WHR-G54s router and have configured it with DD-WRT.

I am also a subscriber to the Home Media DVR service so I wanted to retain that functionality as well.  Keeping this in mind, I looked up the FAQ to retain the Streaming functionality here and began the process to tame this configuration.  I followed it step by step but did take some independent directin along the way due to what appeared to be some gaps in the faq and also to accomodate my existing network configuration.  

At any rate, I ended up with the Buffalo as the outermost router directly connected(via PPOE, as we;re not on DHCP in my neck of the woods) and the ActionTec connected to the LAN port.  I have configured the ActionTec to retrieve it's IP address via DHCP and disabled the DHCP server in the ActionTec so the Buffalo is leasing IP's to it and to the COAX network(STB's).  The Buffalo is configured at 192.168.1.1 with a DHCP pool of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.27 of which it only dynamically assigns *.26 and *.27 to the STB's due to the fact I mac assigned static IP's for the remaining devices on my network.  I've also put the ActionTec in the DMZ of the Buffalo as suggested by another FAQ on this configuration.  This covers all of my networked devices.  

Everything seems to be working, I'm getting VOD and Guide data, the STB shows the proper IP addresses based on the IP pool configured on the Buffalo.  And I am able to avoid the convoluted port forwarding interface of the ActionTec instead using the DD-WRT UI on the Buffalo.  This is all good, however the one thing that I seem to have lost in this configuration is the ability to see my DVR's from the FIOS TV Central web site.

Prior to the change, I could see/delete recordings, schedule new ones, and view the HD usage data.  Now when I go to the site, I just get a 'refreshing...' graphic and it never seems to be able to connect to the DVR's.

Does anyone have any experience with this non standard config and successfully using it with the FIOS TV Central web site?  Any idea what settings I can/need to change to get this to work?]]></description>

<title>Verizon FIOS TV with Cox Cable Internet</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649046</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm here at home for the weekend trying to help my parents out.  My parents fell in love with the Verizon FIOS TV option, but recently went back to Cox for internet service, claiming that the internet was not fast enough.  They currently have the Cox box set up, and everything works fine with the exception of being able to see the Program Guide.  Is there a way they can set it up to be able to see the TV Guide with out affecting their internet service.

Thanks in advance]]></description>

<title>[DVR] Menu to turn on the STB???</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637099</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just got Fios with a QIP7100 STB. I was using Comcast prior with an Explorer 3250. I have a Computer hooked up what an IR blaster to change the channel. With the comcast box when you change the channel it automatically comes on. With the Fios box it sits on the screen waiting for someone to hit "Menu". So when my 3 year old daughter turns the TV off the i end up recoding a message about the menu button. When i had comcast the box would automatically turn on ( quite ingenious!) 

Is there any way i can get the 7100 to do that? or is there a way to force it always on??

Thanks in advance]]></description>

<title>Photos, Music and Media Manager</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22646190</link>
<description><![CDATA[The FIOS site for Media Manager states:

*You must subscribe to the 
DVR service to use Media Manager.
**Media Manager feature is only supported on
a home network using Verizon FiOS Internet
and a Verizon-supplied router.

Does this first statement mean that you no longer need Home Media DVR, just regular DVR to access photos and music from PC?]]></description>

<title>[DVR] Remote Control Issue</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22512030</link>
<description><![CDATA[I did a search and found quite a few  posts and problems related to  remotes, but the ones I found were months old and older.

I just got Fios TV and so far no complaints except, occasionally for the DVR remote control.
I have 1 DVR and two other receivers in the Motorola QIP 7100 series and this only happens with the DVR.

After the DVR has been off for an extended period of time, the remote won't turn the box on.

The lights on the remote light up but nothing on the DVR.
I can stand right next to the unit and do this, none of the remotes can turn on the DVR.

I have to press the power button on the unit, and then the unit works fine. All the controls and buttons work, no problem at all.

Anyone else have this problem?
Any fix for this?
Thanks]]></description>

<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22624033</link>
<description><![CDATA[Out of the five new HD channels, I am only getting MTV HD and CMT HD. The other three, comedy central HD, VH1 HD, and Nick HD, either are coming in pixalated or I get a channel unavailable message on the screen. All five channels show up in the guide with logo and all.

I called in the problem and they said they are going to look into it and call me back (Yea Right...).

Anyone else having the same issue. If you are, I suggest calling it in.]]></description>
