I just can't resist commenting...... 
I agree with the view that Verizon should not mix the VOD channels in with the normal channels. But Verizon has chosen to do that, and it doesn't sound like they intend to change it. So.....
I honestly don't understand why anybody would not have at least one Favorites list. Favorites is a feature that allows you to avoid not only the VOD channels, but anything else that your subscription provides that you are not interested in - for me, the shopping channels, the religeous channels, the .tv channels, all SD channels that also are available in HD, the Local channels for other than my county, school district, and city, the cartoon channels, and plenty of other channels I have no interest in.
You create the list, either all at once or incrementally as needed, on the STB or via the web (DVR only for the web), you set that to be the version of the Guide you normally see, and unless you include those VOD channels in your Favorites list you will never, ever see them. Sure you can switch any time to the Full Guide and then you will see them, but when you use your Favorites list you won't.
I know that for some reason some people don't feel they should have to create a Favorites list. I don't understand that view, but all of you that feel that way should really put that bias aside and create a list. Favorites is the way Verizon has chosen to permit users to manage the channels they see in the Guide, it has been around for a number of years, and it works well. I have no idea when or if Verizon might choose to provide some other solution. But for those of you who refuse to create a Favorites list, but still complain about the VOD stuff, you are just causing yourself the irritation, and an easy solution is just a Favorites list away.
For those of you who haven't tried Favorites but are willing to give it a shot, here is a link to a thread on using the 1.9 level of the IMG. In the document linked in the first post is a section where I have tried to explain in some detail how to set up and use the Favorites list(s) to your best advantage:
As always, just my $0.02 worth......

Ok ok Justin!
I just got my modes to actually stay locked to the subscribed list. So perhaps I will finish configuring my favorites. I had One HD and on favorites. But with 1.9 we have a selection for HD, which is even better, in addition to the two favorites and subscribed channels. I did have an issue when the DVR was rebooting at 2am and it kept going back to All Channels. I hope that is fixed with modes, and not rebooting my DVR for me. If the Options stay put and I can leave it set at last selected. I WILL BE A HAPPY CAMPER.
But I still wish they were a different color. My dear old departed dad used to say wish in one hand and <blank> in the other and se which fills up first.
