The system might be advanced but the programers are not. The new programing killed slow motion and dropped a good search through a single channel function. I called FIOS and was told the loss of slow motion was a problem with the older remote I had. Older? it is one year old. The new box and new remote does not have slow mo ether and the installer said it was not anything to do with the remote. Great looking guide graphics and the channel logos are now shown on the guide
but an easy and often used search and programing function was lost and you now can't watch something in slow motion! That is frigging slap your forehead stupid! Does anyone at Verizon ever watch Football or racing?
The program guide is not as informative as the one on my TEVO. FiOS uses the same description for many shows show after show when TEVO has more detail. As an random example, I don't need "A long running nightly talk show" for the Tonight show. I want to see who is going to be on. The Fios box also seems to not record a show when it is at a different time than normal and the TEVO catches it anyway. he Fios box will rtandomly jump to the end of the show when you are fast fowarding through an ad. you will me 1/2 way through a 3 hour program and bam you then have to start over and fast foward to where you last were before the box messed up.
FiOS has to realize that the costumer does not see the fancy stuff on the pole or the green box in the bushes, they see a buggy DVR box that is harder to program and that does not understand simpe things like an F1 season pass means ALL the f1 races not just that one. I have TEVO and now have 2 FIOS HD DVRs. TEVO is smother and functions better all the way. Don't get me wrong I like FIOS but the DVRs suck.
Tell the powers that be to fix the bugs they unleashed when they did the programing upgrade.
