Seems that since the upgrade to the Guide that the use of the Info button when hit twice, just enlarges the info to full screen. Hit Info button a third time you return to the Guide but at the point where you started which is what you are watching. It previously used to return you back to the guide but you remaining surfing the Guide where you hit the Info button. Therefore, one did not have to start scrolling all through the Guide from what one is currently watching. They need to return it back to how it was as it still has the option of hitting the channel down key to get the full screen option for the Info button. Therefore, the Info button being hit twice is redundant and not useful to scrolling the guide without returning to the originally watched show. If I am wrong, someone please explain to me how this works as it use to. I also wish they would enter the date of the shows production as this is interesting when watching old shows. Who cares that they are showing old shows. We know that but sometimes would like to know what year this show first came out.

I saw this old thread Re FiOS DVR and have ONE question. Please help if possible.

I just had FiOS installed recently. I have the multi-room, HD DVR. I was recording ONE show (not 2) and was not able to see video on demand (SD or HD) I could hear it, but the screen was black. When I hit stop, I saw the video for the Beifest Second then was back to the On Demand Menu.

Please help. Verizon support has been pretty useless. I need to know if I should get a new DVR or just scap the service altogether and go back to Cox.

I just want to be able to watch VOD while recording another show.

Thanks SOOO much for ANY and ALL insights!!

What’s up with Fios and Samsung? I just bought a Samsung 1080p LCD TV and now I have a problem because every so often I get a row of colorful blocks that scroll from right to left in the middle of the screen. When that happens, the voice disappears. I talked to Verizn and they said that it was Samsung and of course, Samsung says that it is Verizon. At this point, I’m disgusted with both of them.

SNY, YES, and the MLB package have to be made available nationally before spring training in 2009. Please save the displaced NewYorkers and NewYork sports fans Verizon fios.

just rid ourselves of Comcast for FIOS last week.

read through this thread and saw everyone asking what I am – how to swap tuners. i know we can record both and do it that way but that sucks.

any word on this yet?

Roger –

Fox has nothing to do with it. NBC decided to sign onto an exclusive carriage agreement with Cablevision – I would suspect because MSNBC was just starting out and Cablevision had leverage. When the carriage agreement expires, no one knows.
That being said, Verizon imposes the blackout, if you will, on areas where Cablevision is not the incumbent cable provider. This is a completely different issue and can be remidied by Verizion if they chose to do so.

Don’t get it. I suspect Fox is behind exclusive between Cablevision and msnbc in an efort to repress Msnbc viewership in country’s biggest market.
