Turn on the TV and the first 15 seconds are wasted showing you a page you don't want advertizing things on the TV. Have to press exit or wait 15 seconds to go to TV.

Remembers when Comcast used to take you to "Comcast Channel" on turn on.

Wonders if there will be a way to disable this feature?

Wonders if the roll out of this will finally fix the delay in changing channels? ]]> Verizon FiOS sydw http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141250-fios-tv-home-page.html http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141200-pull-out-plug-back.html Wed, 15 May 2013 13:42:15 GMT That was the old * IT CROWD* (hysterical British seried) running gag for ALL computer repairs. So, for about a week I have been getting unwatchable pixellation and no sound and then a shutoff (Network COnnection Failure VOD191) for any On Demand shows on Showtime or HBO on my 7232 Living Room... That was the old IT CROWD (hysterical British seried) running gag for ALL computer repairs.

So, for about a week I have been getting unwatchable pixellation and no sound and then a shutoff (Network COnnection Failure VOD191) for any On Demand shows on Showtime or HBO on my 7232 Living Room box.
Finally I thought this isn't going away so I tried the the bedroom STB (7100-2) and was THRILLED that I could get HBO On Demand. AND that probably meant no need for spending hours with a tech and a home visit, etc., etc. You guys know the drill.

So this morning I "pulled it out and plugged it back in" and the DVR rebooted and I was able to get Game of Thrones On Demand...YESSSS!:banana:

So never forget the best first try. It works as often as not. ]]> Verizon FiOS zip2play http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141200-pull-out-plug-back.html http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141134-crackling-sound-tv.html Wed, 08 May 2013 15:28:57 GMT I have a strange sound issue...When I watch certain movies live or from a DVR recording, some of the very loud sounds like explosions for example cause a "crackling" sound on top of the normal audio.

When I watch the same movies through On Demand I do not hear this crackling. Also, I don't hear it when watching Blu-Ray. So I doubt it's the speakers in my TV (Panasonic Viera 1080p).

I already rebooted my set top box and ONT as well as changed the audio settings on my TV. I've had FIOS with the same TV for over a year and this just started happening a few weeks ago. ]]> Verizon FiOS supermike7219 http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141134-crackling-sound-tv.html http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141094-any-word-being-able-record-more-than-two-shows.html Sat, 04 May 2013 02:01:54 GMT I spoke to a customer service rep a while ago and was talking about the competition and the ability to record more shows. He told me it was on the horizon. Well, I'm still waiting. :D ]]> Verizon FiOS lcrngrs http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141094-any-word-being-able-record-more-than-two-shows.html http://www.highdefforum.com/verizon-fios/141090-how-fast-my-internet-service.html Fri, 03 May 2013 15:42:47 GMT I want to know the Mbps. of my service.
