CES 2013 and items that will change the way you enjoy your Programming.

I was able to take time off from work this year, and spend it at the CES 2013 with Verizon in Las Vegas. The things that I was able to see opened my eyes to the future of video entertainment. As a Verizon customer and a Community Leader, I am very pleased with the way the industry is headed, and happy Verizon is leading the way in entertainment. Yes I am a big FiOS Fan! From the time I was first connected with fiber optics, I believe in 2006 with 15/5 speeds, and now Quantum speeds, I have been a happy customer. When the FiOS HD TV service was available in my area, I purchased my first 46” LCD TV. Can’t have FiOS quality on a 36 picture tube! Well you can, I just don’t believe it would look its best.
View the videos on the Verizon News Website. These provide a good overview of the way Verizon provides, and will provide entertainment to their customers.
Watch the video with Nicole Omo, who was showing Verizon devices and talks about items at the CES. Yes I was there and she was the first one I ran into when I darted off to see the new FiOS Media server as soon as I arrived at the show in the Verizon area.

Now if you want the details on the server, see them on this page, where Maitreyi Krishnaswamy explains them in more detail, again watch the video. Also you may wish to view the video about Motorola Medios+ and DreamGallery. I can’t wait to get my hands on this new hardware. I had the experience seeing and using the remote at different times during the show, due to the huge crowds at the show, but I was hooked.

 In the video found via the link below, Maitreyi speaks about the panel she was on regarding smart TVs, and if you look real close in the video as the camera pans to the right to shoot video of the panel sitting at the table, you may catch me as the second person in the second row of the audience. My day one at CES is when she talks about yesterday that refers to the opening day. Tonight I was out looking at smart BluRay players, as my 46” Samsung is a bit older.

The first day of course was Tue. 1/8/13 I wanted to see everything, but was able to see the start of the show. What I really went for was the Verizon area with the VMS, and it doesn't do it justice to call it a booth. I sat and listened to panel discussions of industry experts. Then of course the Keynote Address from the Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam. FiOS!

Day two on Wed. 1/9/13 there was more time at the Verizon area and getting to see all the cool stuff. I was always attracted back to the Entertainment Area, with the new Media Server. Of course there was a chance to meet with various Verizon staff. To put this show together you know there were key people that were at the show. It is not every day you get to meet with the people you see on the websites. Putting the names and faces together with the people was really nice. Though they were all very busy with the media and the press, they managed to find the time to meet with customers like myself. I walked the entire South Hall top and bottom of the LVCC which seems like 2-3 football fields.
Everyone is talking and writing about the new FiOS TV platform. Six tuners pause and resume in any room! These are just a few of many articles. The VMS is buzzing, but what I heard was whisper quite, that is when it was running, with the exception of the excellent audio.

On my third day of the CES it was time to head off to the Central Hall to some TV vendor areas where I could see the types of Smart TVs and devices that would take advantage of the entertainment services the new Verizon hardware and streaming features can provide. What you have should work just fine if you are a FiOS customer. Or even if you are not. I could not pass up the chance to see all the new stuff for TVs. Curved screens,  10K TV. Etc.  At home we have an Xbox with the 75 channels streaming over the Internet, but the Smart TVs are really amazing. If you do not have a smart TV, you may wish to make your TV smart with the use of an LG or perhaps Samsung BluRay player. For streaming to a portable device I do not have an Ipad, but do have an Iphone. It is amazing what Redbox Instant by Verizon can do, even on an Iphone. Redbox Instant by Verizon will be available to the public soon after testing. After walking what seemed to be miles, I was back at the Verizon space for some additional video that was being done.
Day four was finishing up for the trip home and winding down. The flight home from Las Vegas to Baltimore Washington International seemed like it was going to be a longer trip than the one out to the show. I did have one stop in Denver that held me there for a while because of snow, but I did manage to get on the Verizon Community Forums from 41,000ft in the sky, and may have even made a few posts.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Another item I should mention. The photos in my previous post were taken with a phone. So if some are blurred, that is certainly not the way the TV picture looked. So excuse my poor photography.

  • Recorded a video in portrait mode and want to switch it to landscape mode is there any way else to do it without useing quicktime pro....hope apple fixes this in ios 7 the video should come out in landscape regardless of the way you hold your phone

    is there any way else to do it without useing quicktime pro....hope apple fixes this in ios 7 the video should come out in landscape regardless of the way you hold your phone or if you start in portrait and go into landscape while recording

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Formatted Search that will change the Tax code in SO.

    Hi All,
    I have a requirements that will allow me to change the Tax Code column via formatted search. Like for exmaple, i have 50 line items in SO and the tax code is ZO. If i want to change the tax code, i will select it for individual items. Anyone can help me to have an alternative solution that will prevent me to change it per item.?
    thanks and regards,
    vin

    Hi Melvin........
    You can have a work around for this....
    Just create a UDF say U_Tax at Header level...
    Just Create a FMS for Tax Code say..
    SELECT *  FROM OSTC T0
    Save this tax code FMS to thus UDF.
    When yo select a particular Tax Code in this Field through this saved FMS
    this Tax Code gets copied to each and every line say for 100 lines also.
    For this you have run other FMS which is below...
    SELECT $[ORDR.U_Tax.0]
    Save above FMS in tax Code field say in Sales Ordr form.
    Now when you do this you can see if you have 100 line items and you want to copy same tax code in a single click you have to just select single tax code via FMS in U_Tax as i suggested.
    The moment you select this Tax Other FMS will be fired and the same will be copied to other 100 lines....
    Hope this will help you.....
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • Changing the computer you sync your iphone

    How do I do change the Mac I use to sync my iphone without losing everything on the iphone? Old computer has PowerPC processor and cannot upgrade to latest iTunes so my iphone, since I "upgraded" to ios 6, wont sync anymore. The old Mac tells me I need to upgrade to itunes10.6.3 but I cannot because the old Mac (G4 processor) won't run past MAC OS 10.5.8. How can I do this without using a third party file exchange?

    If you have DW installed then use the Business Catalyst feature within DW to login to your sites.  For me, the Business Catalyst window in DW is launched by pressing Ctrl-Shift-B (or Cmd-Shift-B on Mac).  Or, you can goto the DW menu and goto Windows > Business Catalyst.
    Use your Adobe login information to login to BC in DW and it should ask you to setup your site.  You'll choose a local directory to store your files and it will ask you if you want to download your site initially to your local folder. I recommend not downloading it initially so be careful about that.
    If you still have trouble using the BC window in DW the FTP credentials for BC sites follow these conventions:
    Protocol: SFTP (not FTP)
    Hostname: yoursubdomain.businesscatalyst.com
    Username: yoursubdomain.businesscatalyst.com/[email protected]
    Password: yourAdobeCCPassword
    If you have a custom domain name setup for your BC site then you can use it in place of where i use "yoursubdomain.businesscatalyst.com" in the above FTP credentials. SFTP is the important part-- you can no longer login with standard FTP.

  • Has youtube changed the way you download videos again?

    I have been using the pop out way of downloading youtube videos and now it doesn't seem to work anymore. Has there been a change and can anyone tell me the new way to download?

    hello tjh1211, yes firefox 21 now makes use of the codecs that are included in your OS that enable it to directly play mp3 files. in order to disable that, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • How to change the 'Thank you for your submission' message?

    I have a webform to collect subscriber info for an email list - there is a standard 'Thank you for your submission' message that is posted when they submit. How does one edit that message?  Thanks!

    Hey there, under System Layouts it is the general message layout. It applies to all forms though so be aware it needs to be still generic.

  • Can u change the way you watch video

    hi could u please tell me if you can watch video on the iphone upright not on its side?
    i think i sore it one a video somewhere? if this question has already been answered please don't be mean as i just joined.
    thank you for your help in advance!

    I was wondering the same - video only plays back in 'landscape' mode, and the 'correct' orientation seems to be with the volume buttons underneath - ie it doesn't rotate to the opposite 'landscape' view if I turn it 180 degrees so the volume button is on top.
    I assume this is normal behaviour as photos/slideshows/coverflow rotates normally.
    Can anyone confirm this is normal.
    Cheers

  • Why should I continue to use your product after the way you treated your former CEO?

    content

    Hello erqerq, thanks for taking the time inquiring about the issue instead of just silently turning your back on us. You might spare a minute or two to go through these bits of information trying to clear up a some of the misconceptions that are flying around. Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking:
    https://medium.com/p/7645a4bf8a2
    <br>http://blog.gerv.net/2014/04/your-ire-is-misdirected/
    <br>https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignation/
    If it were for Mozilla alone Brendan didn't have to leave - we would like nothing better than to rehire Brendan. In fact, we didn't want him to leave in the first place. However it was his personal decision to resign among all this ongoing frenzy, threats and mischaracterization of him as a person and the Mozilla community coming from third-parties, in order for the constant bombardment to end and to avert any further damage to Mozilla and its mission that he helped build for many years in such an essential role.
    So in this sad process we have lost a co-founder and brilliant technical mind and now the "other side" of the political spectrum also comes along, again very quick rushing to judgement, bashing our community and some voicing calls for boycotts against our products.
    <br>In my opinion Mozilla has not deserved to be in the middle of all of this and getting entangled in the politics of the day certainly isn't the right place for us to be in. Our community exists to advance the state of the Web by promoting openness, innovation and opportunity, which should be the one goal we can all unite around, no matter which views we might have otherwise.
    Thank you!

  • I have iPhone 4 version 4.3.5 (8L1) and note that I changed the iPhone, when I plug the iPhone to a computer, computer format, and does not let me synchronize the iPhone

    can not sync the iphone

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • TS3694 I keep on restoring my iPhone only to fail with it saying error 3002 has occurred. I have done everything I can do to try and get that out of the way. It still says error 3002 has occurred. Can someone tell me what's going on?

    Another thing is that I can't get into my iPhone, as in I can only get to the shiny Apple screen and nothing else.

    Read this
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    It's very easy to accidentally create a reminder to call someone back. When someone calls you, there is a small button over the red "Decline" button labeled "Remind Me". If you tap, the call will be declined and a reminder to call back will be created. Easy enough to do if you're groggy and fumbling for the to make it shut up. If you weren't paying attention or were unaware of the feature, it might seem as if you had simply declined the call.
