Verizon FiOS HDTV - Page 425

That could very well be true. Back in the day, the Mac's Safari wasn't recognized for whatever reason by a number of website's subscription pages. Try using something else to see if the problem persists.

can anyone tell me what has happened to HDnet VOD? there used to be a good slecetion of HDNet movies - some good kids ones - and some of the concerts - but now hdnet is not even listed in the VOD section

What gives?

For those of us in the DC area, here's a blurb from WaPo sportswriter Dan Steinberg's blog:

Regardless of which date Stephen Strasburg debuted at Nats Park next homestand, it was going to be on MASN2, which has the entire six-game stint. This was unwelcome news to a bunch of my readers, who wanted to know why their Verizon FiOS service has MASN HD, but not MASN2 HD.

The short answer is that this is a FiOS issue, not a MASN issue. The network offers the MASN and MASN2 SD and HD signals to all of its 24 cable/satellite/fiber optic affiliates, and it's up to them to identify which channels they'll carry, according to a MASN spokesman.

So I then asked a FiOS spokesman, with a nod toward Strasburg's debut. Her response.

"While we may not have MASN2 HD in time for Stephen Strasburg's debut, it is one of the channels we're looking to add to the FiOS TV lineup soon."

If you look at MASN's provider list, you'll notice that there are a few other subscribers who won't have access to MASN2 HD (DISH Network folks, and a few other pockets of cable subscribers in farflung regions of Delaware, Virginia, Western Maryland, North Carolina and West Virginia). But for the close-in non-DISH people, everyone but FiOS subscribers should be set for MASN2 in HD.

HDnet is on my VOD under HD hdtv

Still on in NJ as well.

But the app doesn't launch from a browser.

I just tried again and got in (I use Firefox for my browser). But the "home" screen has a "what's new" sweepstakes Nov. 2 through dec. 31 to win a free camera. Do you suppose that's 2010!?

And on the home page there are icons for Internet, TV and Phone and the Internet icon is the only active one.

I'm almost glad Verizon has sold these 3 services to Frontier in our market. This is just dumb.

I have been having issues with the Home Media Server and I was looking for some guidance.

I just downloaded it tonight, and mapped to my locations. It picked up all my files fine, but none of my video files play back. They do launch but then the screen is all garbled and unwatchable. I have tried several different file types and resolutions and none work. Even the sample file that comes with it doesn't play. The files play back fine if I use the verizon Ap on my desktop, just not via the STB. I also tried the Youtube widget, and that doesn't play back either.

I rebooted my PC, Router and STB and it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Also, anyone know of a way to get the root folder to show up. I have my files organized for my HTPC as TV SERIES - Season - episode. Right now, they all getting grouped by the second folder, so I have about 30 Season 1 folders displaying in a row, but I can see what it is Season 1 of.

Not working w/Explorer either. Called tech support. They said the engineers have been working on the log-in problem for 7 weeks now. Keeps logging out.

Hey. I'm using the FIOS DVR Mobile app on the Palm Pre Plus on AT&T and there's no option to setup a series recording. Anybody know why the FIOS Mobile app does't allow you to schedule a season series? Booooooo! Other than that one issue, I like the app.

well in Richmond va it is not -
it is not even listed who do I call?

Where do you see it?

Would that be under Free... HDTV?
or High Definition... HD Free?

-This is my biggest issue with VOD... to hard to find something.

What programs do you see under HDNet, I'll try to search for them through FiOS Central...

Thanks,
Jay

Trying to find Free HD Movies of any sort/quality is so much of a Royal pain that it made me join Netflix ! And, that messed up menu is something not worth anything as they say. Who they are, I simply don't know but I'm one of them...

Are you streaming HD movies from NetFlix? (If so, which device) or just doing the mail shuffle thing with Blu-Ray & DVD?

In my area:

BAD BOYS
GOBOTS
HEARTBREAKERS
LABOU
LONELY ARE THE BRAVE
OUT OF AFRICA
RESCUE DAWn
SLEEPING BEAUTY
SNATCH
STRIKING DISTANCE

Both !

I pay big, for me, in the Summer (4 Blu-Ray Discs out currently, but not all are movies) even though I stock up on shows and such with a TiVo HD the rest of the year just for Summer. I've only got one TiVo unlike some here. To stream I use Roku and an X-Box 360. The Roku, though, has been giving me some trouble after the last Update - which seems to happen to me about every second Update. Netflix HD streaming is hit or miss. I find about half don't look so good. But, you can sample quickly and move on till you get what you want.

Update: The WD TV Live Plus just came out and it does Netflix - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2364824,00.asp

Today I received a new power adapter for my MIR424 router out of the blue. Any idea why they sent them out?

did you ever consider searching this thread for "power adapter"? you would have had instant gratification.

silly me, sillysam.

Can anyone using FiOS with TiVo and CableCARDs confirm the following? I get a message

Transferring prohibited by the copyright holder. when I use my TiVo to browse the Now Playing of another TiVo. Not for most programs, just for some stuff recorded on Disney HD and Disney XD HD.

Is this something new? I've seen previous reports that Verizon / FiOS didn't prohibit any TiVo <--> TiVo transfers (i.e. I think this is the infamous CCI byte in action).

I'm just curious. This isn't a real problem for me, I don't watch those channels, this is just something I stumbled on when viewing other TiVos from mine. The programs were recorded by family members.

I got one several months ago. Something about Verizon upgrading their network. Apparently with the upgrade, the router would be pushed to its limits more than before, and the old power adapter would be too weak to handle it.

Service providers are, of course, permitted to apply some of the CCI restrictions, by their own choice (though generally FiOS has not), but what you may be experiencing is a case where the content provider is requiring it.

I have to agree with you there. But it's OK. You'll do better in the future.

under high definition then HD Free 10 movies listed under movies

This is new. I just noticed it recently with my boxes that don't have ca ble cards. I've had no issues witth the cable card boxes.

All my TiVo HD boxes have CableCARDs. This copy protection has now started showing up even on non-premium cable channels, such as Mad Money on CNBC.

Other threads have mentioned that this may be something unique to the areas being sold off to Frontier. That wouldn't surprise me, telecom execs are almost invariably a**holes. Frontier is a telecom. Therefore, Frontier execs are a**holes. QED. It seems to be in their DNA. We were just lucky that a few people at Verizon got smart for a few years. But maybe everyone using FiOS is now living on borrowed time.

I need help! Right now when I power up my QIP6416 with the Motorola remote it turns on my TV at the same time.

How can I make it so it does not turn on the TV when I power up the DVR?

Try Menu>HelpIn-Home Agent>Program Remote.

FIOS guide in NJ is still showing the NHL playoffs for 6/11/10 even though there is no game. A DVR is only as good as it's guide data and hard drive space. Both are in serious need of improvement!

Is Hockey over now or did something change with the schedule?

Manuals are here.
