you can set your box to notify you if a movie will be coming on in the next day or two that matches your favorite actor/actress/director/movie list.
That would be a cool feature. Set up automatic recordings based on "tags". That would certainly enhance series recordings.

How about adding TiVo like features such as "WishList" and "Keyword" and "Asterisk" * Search. Those that have TiVo know exactly what I am referring to. Basically it is the ability to drill down to get the exact match you want when recording a show.
Of course the guide data has to be accurate. But I suppose that isn't wishful thinking, just expected.

Please streamline the 'Guide' giving it the ability to delete or lock out channels I don't subscribe to, channels in foreign language, duplicate channels ( in standard def) or channels I have no interest in. I know that I can create Favorites 1 & 2 but scrolling still goes through all the channels.

The original Guide, way back in 2005/2006, worked that way. Verizon chose to remove that function, and I doubt they will bring it back because there is an alternative available (just my opinion, no knowledge of their plans).
It is easy to set up the Guide so that scrolling does NOT go through all of the channels, either the actual viwing or through the Guide. If you will take a look at the post near the top of the list here in the FiOS TV section called "Exploiting FiOS TV Favorites" you can set up the Favorites and then NEVER, unless you want to, see any of those channels again (it allows you to set it up so that when you hit the Guide button by default you see one of your Favorites lists, not the full Guide).
Give it a try, can't hurt, and might make you happier.

I believe Cablevision either offers this or is going to. I really don't like Cablevision but they do come to the game early between this feature and now 101 meg d/l speeds. They already have CID on the TV which I know many people are asking for.
That commerical where the phone guys invent stuff the Cable company already has is really true.
Oh well.

Here is a reference to Cablevision's Remote DVR and what they had to go through...

I personally don't like the idea because you lose full trick play functionality with streamed video (like OnDemand).
Also there is a possibility that the re-broadcaster (Verizon in our case) can manipulate the video and add their own advertisements.
IMHO, I don't like it.
