A few days ago remote DVR stopped working for all 3 of my DVRs. So far I have..
1) Reset all the DVRs with VZ In home agent
2) Reset the router with a paper clip in the back
3) Unplugged and replugged the DVRs
I have also
1) Used Chat support.. they got me up to reset the router (after I waited for 20 minutes for an agent to respond). When the router reset, of course, I lost the chat session. But it didn't fix the problem either.
2) Tried to call tech support.. got told the call volume was high and all they could do was route me to an automated menu system which was useless. Finally gave up on that.
3) Tried to use email to contact support. As soon as I indicated I needed FIOS tech support, email went away and it just took me back to the support page on FIOS to look at the FAQs and crap. I did, and there is nothing about how to get this fixed that I could find.
So now I am on this forum hoping someone has a clue what to do.
I would add, that this happened about 3 months ago as well. That time I did get through to phone tech support. I did all the resets and reboots and stuff which didn't help. Finally they made a "change to my account in their database". Remote DVR started working again for me.. and lasted another 3 months before it died this time.
So.. if someone from Verizon reads this, please let me know what to do. There seems to be no way to actually get support on this, at least tonight.

Hey Jim, I would like to help you out can you send me a private message with your home phone # or your name and address. I could check and see if your DVR is on the network.

I have the exact problem with my two STB's and have done every step as above including resetting the router. Called tech and she was helpless. I have done every possible "trick" possible. One interesting side note though. When the remote dvr was working, one dvr would read "listener 1 started" and the other dvr would read "listener 2 started" now they both read "listener 1 started". I could assume that there is some sort of conflict or a general network problem. I noted that Ron stated that he had the ability to check and see if the stb's were on the network??? I do have all the widgets, on demands, menus and tv guides w/o a problem. Also on the self diagnostics all appears to be well except the aforementioned listener status. Help!!!!!

I also have the exact same problem. I called tech support twice and they tried everything, both with the router & the STB. I checked In Home Agent & it says my trouble ticket has now been closed, but my remote DVR still doesn't work. I think the;y gave up trying to fix it. I'd like this feature to be fixed since it was very handy to use.
Can someone check if my STB is on the network?
I also have VOD & widgets. Even Media Manager works on my computer & STB. Everything works except remote DVR.

My remote DVR also stopped working a couple of days ago for one of my 2 DVR's. The box does not respond to a query. the other dvr still works using remote features. I ran diagnostics. listener 1 started. And rebooted the box using the phone menu. In home agent has my boxes listed incorrectly as to their physical location compared to the names in my verizon under the heading "my set top boxes"
any help appriciated
Edit..
I just checked and diagnostics on both boxes refer to "start listener 1" all self diags successful on both boxes

A LOT of people are now reporting that the Remote DVR on Verizons website is NOT WORKING. I have had this issue for over 1 week now. Power Cycling the settop and the router DOES NOT fix the issue as it had in the past. I believe this might be an issue w/ the VERIZON servers in the Head End. Could a Verizon Tech please look into this? I had RON (Verizon Tech on this board) Look into the issuse last week. He reset my settop, but even that DID NOT fix the issue.... Please let me know if/when someone looks into this issue.
Thanks,
Jeff
