Would be nice if multihub of the DVR allowed a specific device to be added or removed from the hub by the user. This could solve many issues, If it does not exist, or cant be done by tech support. It would be a good idea. Perhaps next revision?
Ever watch an ad for a show you want to watch and then go to schedule it on your DVR? I'd like to see a "schedule this" button when TV show ads play to schedule a DVR recording directly from the playing advertisement.
As stated before, my wife & I have both Directv/Fios STBs. My wife loves the fact, on our HR24/D* STB, she has 'upcoming shows' listed under 'program information' on archived shows or even recently recorded shows. This helps her bigtime! With our Fios STB she has to back out of the program info screen & do another search/look-up, which is time consuming. Please add this to the program info screen, the only thing listed on it now is 'play, delete or save until i delete'
I'm new to verizon was surprised to find I had to use an "old" email version to send a plain text email. The latest technology and upgrades are usually good things, but when it limits access to or excludes older technology, some still use, maybe a revisit is in order. I hope verizon will consider adding a plain text option to the "new" email, as it has with the "old."
WOULD BE GREAT IF I COULD TEXT A FELLOW FIOS SUBSCRIBER FROM THE SET TOP BOX OR EVEN BETTER YET VIDEO CONFERENCE THEM. ESPECIALLY FAMILY OUT OF STATE
Enable Video On Demand queues on the STB. Allow the user to subscribe to a show and when a new show is added to the VOD library, it is automatically added to the user's queue. Similar to DVR Series Recordings where it is automatically recorded.
It would also be nice to combine the DVR & VOD experience by making those queues and recordings available under the same menu. For Example, if a user goes to current recorded programs it also shows all of the new VOD content available to which the user is subscribed.
While I appreciate the ability to program my DVR remotely, it would be nice if this has full functionality. Specifically, I would like the ability to set series recording options (such as adding time to the recording, only new, etc.) using my cell phone or the web.
Include a text weather forecast description with some useful information. "Rain" can mean anything from a light mist to heavy downpours. "Snow" can mean anything from a flurry to a blizzard. It does nothing to help with planning if you know it will snow but don't know if the "Snow" forecasted is going to be a light dusting or a couple feet.
Just updating Maitreyi's status to match her comment ![]()
I noticed that many new TVs are coming out with widgets similar to what FIOS has to offer. For example, Panasonic has a Skype widget.
Since the FIOS box already has a USB input, why not add Skype to the Widgets lineup? The customer could then plug in their camera into the USB input in order to get video.
Furthermore, perhaps allowing the customers to play games and interact more with other FIOS customers across the country.
Similar to my "recent calls" list on my cell phone, I'd like to see FiOS generate a favorites list of the last 20 (or more) channels I've actually watched. Over time, this could develop into a REAL favorites list as well, like the way iTunes tracks your favorite songs by the number of times they've been played.
Personalization is key. An automatically updated list of my last 20 watched channels and another list of my top 20 channels ranked by viewing habits would be a great addition to a static list of preselected Favorites.
Comcast uses Page Up and Page Down to Skip ahead or back by 10 minutes. I'd like this and either 10 minutes or 15 minutes would be nice. This is in addition to 30 second skip and would not replace it.
Based on either seeing references to this on the SD stations or some internet information (which may or may not be accurate) I believe the following are available in HD and would like to see them added to the FiOS lineup here (Fitchburg, MA) if possible:
Local Station: PBS - WENH - TV 11 HD (New Hampshire Public Television)
HLN HD
C-SPAN HD
C-SPAN 2 HD
C-SPAN 3 HD
NECN HD (New England Cable News)
Style HD
GSN HD
There are others like BBC America HD, FUNimation HD, etc... but they have already been mentioned in other posts.
With some frequency, we find errors in the listings - show descriptions that are wrong, or instead of the new episode listed, it plays some older one, and sometimes an episode in a series just gets skipped over & never shows up.
Right now the only way I know to report these errors is by email, and I've never received any replies letting me know it's fixed. Usually we just keep checking In Demand.
It would be nice to 1) have less errors and 2) have an easy way to report them - maybe an option off the listing.
I am a new FIOS subscriber and my biggest gripe is that after the VOD ends, there is a partial screen with previews/trailers for other programs/movies. I put on an age appropriate VOD for my toddler, and after Blue's Clues ends, for example, my child is subjected to inappropriate language (i.e. promo for Wall Street 2 includes "hell"), scary graphics (dead body as seen in Sherlock Holmes promo), gunfire, fiery blasts, etc. etc. Programming I would never chose for my children - not to mention the volume kicks up and scares the daylights out of him. There should be a way that you only air age appropriate material based on which VOD category you view.
Hello, and thank you in advance for your time!
I believe this is an easy request as it already partially exists!
I currently have a 'HD DVR' Set-top Box and a 'HD non-DVR' Set-top Box. The NON-DVR Box has an option in IPG to "Set a Reminder" for a future show(s) that I want to watch. Now my HD DVR Box has an option to "Record Program" but not the option to "Set a Reminder", and sometimes I only want a REMINDER to watch a show, and not record it. And yes, I realize I could just record it and delete it later but most times the lack of space on my DVR doesn't make that an option! ![]()
Is this an option that could be easily implemented since it already exists on the non-DVR box and what are the chances it could happen?
Thanks!!
