When I first got FiOS TV almost 5 years ago I saw and heard tests 2 - 3 times per week, sometimes more, at all hours of the day and night. After about 6 months they disappeared, and I don't remember a test in at least a couple of years, I think they do them in the middle of the night when most people, including me, are asleep.And I never leave the TV on at night.
Is Verizon still installing new TV service in new areas where you are located? If so, I think that may be the reason for the tests. As they install a new subdivision or a multi-family building, etc, I think they are required to test to make sure it works in the new area. Unfortunately though, it appears that they cannot test in just the new area, but seem to cover a lot of areas already installed and activated.
But that many tests in a short time does seem to be excessive; perhaps the tests are failing and they are retesting trying to find the problem? I don't know. But I know I would not be happy either...and unfortunately I have no idea what you might be able to do about it. But I think it will go away soon.
