OMG does this DVR suck. Poorly designed interface, you have to jump through hoops to get the Play From Start menu option to appear - isn't that the one you use most?! This things locks up in the middle of replay OFTEN. I also notice that series recordings are VERY hit or miss. It regularly neglects to record shows that are clearly part of the series. Some episodes don't show up in 'scheduled recordings', then when I add that episode manually, it complains about it already been scheduled. THEN it will record it. But not if I don't manually nag it about missing episodes. This thing is garbage. Does Verizon have a place where I can report bugs/interface complaints? Some of these bugs are easily reproducible.

In addition, instead of the advertised 80 hours of record time, we get 34. Verizon claims its because of the IMG which should be resolved by October. Anyone have similar problems?

I live in MA and I'm getting FIOS installed Tuesday. You just made my Sunday, Dave. My timing is perfect. I live in MA and I’m getting FIOS installed Tuesday. You just made my Sunday, Dave.
