Hi-
I had Fios installed on Monday. The tech left before making sure TV worked.
I have a cable card running throught a Tivo HD.
Called tech support and they could not get it to work.
Tech came out this morning and put in a new CableCard. He left before resolving the issue because he was only "working a half day" or similar.
Called tech support tonight and we could not get the card to work. They want to send out another tech tomorrow morning.
So i'm 2 days into FIOS with no TV service. previous provider was Comcast via cable card through Tivo with no issues.
Am i the only one with this kind of issue? Are there any recommended steps for resolution that I'm missing?
thanks.

My problem with the Tivo-Cable card combo is that it works for a while, then most of my channels go to a grey screen. The Tivo info for each channel remains, but the picture is gone. This happens once to three times a day. Only way to get the channels back is to sit through the 10 minute Tivo reset.
Called Tivo about 2 weeks ago and after some troubleshooting their diagnosis was that the signal strength was too high (38 db). Standard is between 20-35 db? They suggested using a splitter to bring the signal strength down. Installed a splitter, but the signal strength remained the same AND this made the problem worse.
Next will contat Verizon. Very close to giving up on the cable card and going with a box. Didn't do a box initially because the tech said he could not connect it to the Tivo.
Anyone have any success with this?
Tivo HD
FIOS HD standard service

I'm installing my new Tivo Premier with cable card tomorrow. If I am successful and the TV works, I'll report back!
