Well, I have no idea what you are talking about either, and I have had FiOS TV for over 8 years now, old SD STBs, new HD STBs, etc., have never experienced what I think you are describing.

But despite what you said about having Promotions disabled, maybe what you are seeing is the FiOS TV Home Screen. If so you might try choosing the option in the lower right corner to disable the screen and see what happens.

Sorry, but I don't have any other ideas.

FiOS TV Home Screen is off, and the channel varries.

 

It was on CBS when being turned off and I'm not sure what channel it was yesterday, but it was a fitness infomercial and this morning it was on Velocity.

 

We've had FIOS ever since it came to South Jersey which has been about 4 or 5 years.

 

This has been going on since mid 2013 and only seems to be the HD DVR,- QIP72322

Do you have any recordings scheduled overnight?  Turning the STB off when watching a given channel will not always leave the STB on that channel.  A scheduled recording will change the active channel and that's what you see when you turn the STB back on.

no, nothing schedualed

Usually the channels it switches to are ones we never watch, it's really weird...
