Pixelating

I have had Fios Quantum TV for about a week and I have noticed occasional pixelation on certain channels. It's not the worst but it seems to be more than I had with Comcast. I did the self installation and used all the new wires and tightened everything. I called them and they said they can't troubleshoot unless it's doing it right now. They can send a tech but it would cost $91. Any suggestions?

Where are you seeing it?

VMS? IPCs?

As always, the first thing to do is to check cable connections.

If it is all boxes, start at ONT and go from there.

It's happening on all of them. I did check all the cable connections. Though it occurred to me it may actually be something wrong with the ONT, or the VMS hard drive.

It happened to me too. All boxes. Replaced the coax splitter didn't help. Verizon technician came and replaced the tuner in the ONT. It fixed the problems.

Well I had a tech visit today. He replaced the wires in the basement and all the splitters. I told him it might be the ONT and he admitted he replaced the ONT but it doesn't look to me like he did. Anyhow, it did not fix the problem. He said there's a newer brand of ONT they use but it would be a huge project to replace it and they would have to change the wiring outside. He even gave me his boss's number.

But I have to say that so far I'm really not too happy with Fios Quantum TV. I actually liked the Xfinity X1 platform better. I would love to just go back but then I'd have to pay the termination fee. I heard somewhere that there's like a 30-day money back guarantee or something, but I'm not sure. There's also an issue that a member of our household has a verizon email account and I'm not sure you'd be able to keep the email address.
