Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

Joe01880,
And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:

  • Why can't we get a straight answer from Apple about updater issues?

    Why are there thousands and thousands of posts from people all having the same issue? We try to update IPod software using latest updater, and it causes IPod to no longer be recognized. All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM! Yet all we get are refferals to complicated articles that never seem to work for at least half the people. Clearly it is a problem with these updaters. WHY IS APPLE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE? Can anyone give me a straight answer!?

    Hi Wolf,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    "thousands and thousands of posts"
    There are roughly 10,300 thread with 50,000 posts in the iPod Nano forum, and there are probably another 500,000 who don't even know it exists. I don't there there has been a thousand posts on the updater issue. It may seem like thousands upon thousands, but don't forget; you're at an Apple Support Forum.
    "All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM!thousands and thousands of posts"
    There's no need to "shout". I don't think Apple is going to hear you from shouting in a user to user forum. Nor will you probably get a answer (here) from Apple for the same reason. I have a -------- (straight) answer for you. I don't know what's going on specifically (no one really knows in this forum because they are all users. Anyone who would know won't say), but I can assure you that Apple isn't ignoring the issue. They are the quickest to respond to any problem that comes their way. If you would like to get Apple's attention, I don't suggest ranting and raving in the iPod user to user forum. I suggest submitting polite feedback to Apple here.

  • Why can you NOT get a straight forward answer on upgrading to Edge?

    On Saturday morning I called customer care with a SIMPLE question about how the Edge Program works. The lady I spoke with gave me information that didn't make sense and told me one of my lines could move to edge and the other could only after 6 months of on-time payments. That didn't make sense to me, how could one be eligible and not the other when the explanation of WHEN would be eligible is contingent upon 6 months payments. I was so irritated I started shopping at other carriers to see what their "Edge" like programs work like and was considering switching carriers. So, I called back and spoke with another guy to find out what my ETF's were and he informed me that I COULD upgrade both lines to a Note 4 for about $5 above what my bill is a mo. each with all of the discounts applied. I told him that I would go to a Verizon store and probably upgrade instead of cancelling. So, I went to the store and was treated TERRIBLY!! I was told that I could not move both of my lines to the edge program with the Note 4. I was told I could move to Edge with both lines but one would have to be a Droid and the other could be whatever phone I wanted. I was blown away with yet another piece of information that was not matching up with what I was told. He said I could call customer care and see if they could do anything. I was BLOWN away that a corporate Verizon store would just turn me away (which was extremely demeaning and embarrassing in front of their other customers) to call customer care again and tell me my best option would be to cancel if I wanted a new phone for the line I wanted to upgrade. So, I called customer care again and spoke with another lady who correctly informed me (I think) of how it works and stated there was nothing she could do on the line that was not eligible which should have been told in the previous conversation with the guy I spoke with. One thing struck me as odd, she said the phone is on a lease with Edge so the phone is never yours, which is something NO ONE mentioned at any point in any prior conversation. So, is that true? I now know where I stand with upgrading but my original questions about how Edge works are still not fully answered and what the last rep stated brings up other questions. If it's "leased" what happens if it's broken or lost? Anyway, I was looking for what I thought was a straight forward answer to a question about how Edge works, how much it costs, and are my lines eligible, etc. and wasted a good hour on the phone and another two driving to a store just to get turned away like as though no one even cared! The last lady I spoke with seemed to care but I'm blown away with the TERRIBLE customer service and COMPLETE lack of ownership. Why can no one take the feedback and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and then answer my questions about the Edge program. Bottom line, I'm not looking for a freebie upgrade (though maybe I should for all of the time wasted due to incorrect/inaccurate information). but I'm blown away that no one wants to do anything.
    That all being said, can someone on here explain how Edge works with the discounts and is the phone really a "leased" phone? Pretty sad that I'm resorting to forums to ask other customers how it works but would appreciate any info anyone can share. I'm probably going to port both of my numbers to AT&T if it is true they are a lease and due to all of the terrible customer service.

    I just saw in another post that if it's an "early" edge I would have to turn in the phones. No one told me that either and now I wonder if just forget Edge and port out. What's the advantage of doing Edge with all this confusion and red tape? Is an early edge considered early if you're upgrading with Edge prior to the contract end on the current phone? Verizon Customer Care and Stores REALLY NEED to be up front about this stuff! From what I see here and what others are going through Edge is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE program.

  • Why can't i get the straight talk international calling app if i live in canada?

    i've tried to download the straight talk international calling app to use in the U.S but can't as ihave a canadian itunes account. when i try to download it itunes re-directs me to the U.S site.
    it says i haven't used my i.d on U.S itunes before so i have to review my account details. there is a button to click to pay with paypal, i changed the primary funding to U.S dollars, but it still won't let me download it.
    any ideas? thanks......

    True. But it is an illogical incongruency in the TOS which I'm not about to get into. My only two comments:
    1. The "transaction" occurs in the place where you have your account as you need a CC and address in the country where the store is located.
    2. The "portability" of the apps might be restricted, as it could be against the TOS to say: update apps while you are out of your "home" country or buy a tourist guide app for London whilst in London (away from "home").
    I guess lawyers will have an eventual field day sorting this out.
    My reason for my "nope" was not on TOS terms but whether Apple "physically" restricted the dowloadbility of apps while you were away from "home".

  • 100 other posts on same topic - WHY CAN"T WE GET A DIFINITIVE ANSWER?

    the battery is runs down when the thing is off. as quickly as overnight, the the battery is completely depleted.
    i swear i have followed all the directions for turning it off - including using the "hold" switch! if i was listening to it, it should/would have a longer battery life.
    could it be a faulty unit?

    then as soon as I turn it off and start it back half the battery is gone.
    Do you mean the battery meter shows half full?
    That doesn't mean the battery is half gone. It's an approxiamtion. And when the HD spins up, the meter goes down. WHen the HD shuts off, it goes back up.

  • Why can't I get windows 7 to recognize where I live and the model of my laptop?

    I live in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, zip code 00820.  There is no option for Atlantic Standard Time for me to be able to correct this problem myself.
    Also, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad model T410.  and Windows 7 will not recognize it.
    These two problems are causing me many problems, including not being able to invite my family members in Florida to Skype with me.  There are too many problems to list them all.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Can anyone get a straight answer from Openreach......

    Is there anyone or anywhere you can get a straight answer from openreach on when a cabinet wil be connected?
    I think I know whats going on. They are connecting exchanges to meet targets but not bothering with cabinets. Exchange connected = Fibre in area but the reality is very different.
    I know this isnt an openreach forum but this seems to full of knowledgeable and helpful people. Maybe somone can find out when we can expect a power cable to be plugged into our cabinet. Seems to be most of our town that despite being 'enabled' cant get connected

    Hi Huwflet,
    There may not be any road to dig up and even if there is there are only very limited situations where permission is required.
    Try contacting www.superfastlancashire.com they may be able to help you.
    Lancashire County Council has agreed a £62.5m project with BT. Fibre will be extended to 97% of premises by the end of 2014.
    BT will contribute £30m to the project while £10.8m will come from BDUK, with £16.5m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and £5.2m from local councils.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:
