I recently had Fios installed to replace Comcast. I have the HD set up for both.
Comparing the two, the Verizon Fios has a washed out appearance. The colors are not as strong.
The troubleshooting guide is no help. Customer service tells me I need to adjust my Television.
My television has been color balance with a Blu-ray tuning DVD. The trouble seems to be in the signal from Verizon.
Has anyone else had this trouble? Any advice?

Yes I noticed the same thing when I switched from Comcast as well (about 6 months ago). Not sure how to adjust the VZ set-top box. Hopefully someone will provide a link!

Here is the link for the Verizon 6416 DVR user guide: http://onlinehelp.verizon.net/consumer/bin/pdf/fios/qip6xxxuserguide.pdf
Hope it helps. When I switched from Comcast, I did not notice a difference. In fact, I had both FIOS and Comcast for a long time, so I was able to do a lot of side by side comparison. The Verizon DVR is about the same as the Comcast box.

Is the Service Menu the same as the Settings Menu? I cannot find anything that refers to color space settings. Please clarify.

The menu I referred to is in the manual. It requires you to (startiong with TV and STB on) hit POWER ->SELECT->MENU (in fairly short succession) on the STB (can be done on remote, but I don't recall the buttons that are equivalent) and a text screen will come up allowing various changes including color space.

The buttons on the remote to push are STB ==> Power ==> OK ==> Menu (this only works if you have the power on/off function separated for the TV and the STB, otherwise one will probably go off and the other on when you push Power, etc).
The possible Color Space settings are YCC 4:4:4 and RGB. I don't know what they mean, but I use the YCC 4:4:4 setting with my Sony LCD and I think the color really pops. I suggest you try both, the one you are not currently using might work for you, you can always go back.

And for my Sharp LCD RGB gives better color as well as allowing for full gray scale (contrast) calibration. It all depends on your set.
