FIOS 1 and local origination channels in Toms River NJ

I am confused about what the status is with Fios 1 where I live. If I go on my account on the Verizon website, and look at the TV Guide listings on line, it shows the channel in the line up. I can not get it on any of my set top boxes, however, the channel is there through my QAM tuners on both my TV set and DVD recorder (SD signal only, not HD).
Friends who live in another part of town apparantly do get the channel 1/501 on their boxes, and it shows up in their on screen guide. It doesn't on ours.
I really don't want to call about it as it will probably be more hassle than it is worth, and I probably wouldn't watch it much anyway, but it is another option and would be nice to have. Anyone else out there having a similar observation?
Also, just discovered that the channel from Ocean County College is now on Fios on channel 26 (it's branded as Ocean 20, as that's the channel it is on for Comcast). They show NASA TV on the overnight hours, for those who are interested.
Oddly, we are also getting the board of education channel for Kenilworth, NJ on channel 26. Could that be a test signal for possibly getting the Toms River Schools channel sometime in the near future? Strange as it might sound, that is probably the one channel that we had on Comcast that I miss, if for no other reason than it was the best early warning for school closings. (BTW, the Toms River Schools channel is a lot more polished than what I've seen from Kenilworth, for what it's worth.)

Hey TR-Tim...thanks for you interest in Fios1. Currently Fios1 is available to Northern New Jersey customers. Once it becomes available in your area, you will recieve 30 days notice prior to it coming out. Fios 1 is not encrypted which is why you are able to pick up the channel outside of your box. Fios 1 is not currently available in your market which is why it is not being broadcasted thru our boxes.
For your second question, your muncipalities makes the decision as to what access channels are broadcasted. We, here at Verizon, don't make those decisions. You can actually go to your municipality and ask them what their procedure is regarding local access channels and what kind of content you would like to have broadcasted. They in turn submit that information to us.
Thank you for reaching out to us, continue to do so. We are here if you need us. Thank you!

Fios 1 channel- Toms River NJ

A question on Fios 1. Here where I am in Toms River NJ, the channel does not show up in the guide, and can not be tuned in, at least not on the set top box. However, it can be recieved directly on the tuner built in to the two TVs with digital tuners that I have hooked up to both the direct feed and the set top boxes. Why would the channel literally be coming in on the signal, unscrambled at that, but not be available on the set top boxes?

Sorry to hear about the troubles with the channel. To fix this, please press menu, then go to CUSTOMER SUPPORT, then IN HOME AGENT, then SET TOP BOX AUTO CORRECTION. Please let us know if further assistance is required.

Just added FIOS TV and not too happy

Have had FIOS Internet for 2+ years and finally decided to bite the bullet and try out the TV side - opting not to cancel my Dish Network service until I was sold on my new TV choice.
So after 4 days here is my review:
Likes
Audio and video quality is fantastic. Definately an improvement over my Dish
Subscribed to the Prime package with the free Movie package and my bill went up only $20. Gotta love that!
Absolutely love On Demand. After having satellite for almost 4 years - forgot how nice of a feature this is.
Media manager is very cool. Was able to remove my "Media PC" which I had hooked up strictly to be able to listen to my 18,000+ song music collection and view my thousands of digital photos
Dislikes
When changing channels -there seems to be a slight delay in between. Not nearly as bad as DirecTV - but definatekly not as smooth as my Dish service
Experienced many dropouts,brief freezes and stuttering when watching both regular TV as well as an On Demand movie.
Remote distance. My couch has a clear line of site to the box - and is only 12 feet away. Not sure if I may have a bad remote ( I already changed the batteries) or possibly a bad box. All I know is that unless I was aiming the remote directly at the box - I was finding myself having to re-enter my selections - volume, menu, channel etc... multiple times before the action took place.
Can't stand not being able to pause Live TV anywhere in the house with the exception of the room where the DVD is located. Dish's 622 DVD has had this feature forever - and this feature alone will probably be the primary reason as to why I will be keeping my Dish subscription. Was told by a Verizon rep that the only way to "fix" this would be to upgarde by STB to DVR's
Would love to hear everyon'e feedback - especially the few points regarding the remote and dropouts.
Thanks

Welcome to FiOS TV and the Forums. I hope you wind up being a happy customer.
Re your dislikes:
1) Delay changing channels. Are you using an HDMI connection? If so, is the delay when switching from an HD channel to an SD channel or vice versa? If so, the reason is the need for the STB to re-sychronize the connection between the STB and the TV. You can eliminate this delay by:
Menu ==> Settings ==> Video Settings ==> SD Override ==> Off
The SD picture may be slightly worse but I have found I much prefer the channel change to be immediate. Plus I don't watch much SD any more
2) Dropouts, freezing, and stuttering: I think this usually indicates a signal strength issue. You might want to recheck all of the connections from the ONT to the splitter to the STB. You apparently have more than one STB, does it occur on each?If so that would indicate to me a problem between the ONT and the splitter, or a problem from the central office to your house.
In the Menu there is a section called Customer Support; there are several diagnostic tools you can run there that might help identify the problem source. There is also a "hidden" menu in the STB where you can get detailed signal information on any channel, but lets see if the above helps before we delve into that.
And you aren't trying to share any of the coax between FiOS and Dish by any chance are you? That would be a no-no.
3) Remote distance. For my DVR I somewhat experience the same thing. For my SD boxes, no, much more forgiving. I have no idea why, all boxes are made by Motorola, but there clearly is a difference.
Many people have also reported problems with their HD boxes when using a flat screen TV, mostly plasma but sometimes LCD, when they have it set to "bright" or some similar setting. Some flat screens apparently emit IR signals that interfere with the IR signal from the remote to the STB. You could perhaps check your TV settings to see if you can find one that has an effect, or you could try moving the STB away from the TV temporarily and see if the problem disappears. If so then it is almost certainly TV IR interference.
4) Can't pause live TV from anywhere in house (I am assuming you have the Multi-room feature on the DVR). True, can't do it with FiOS. Yes, if you get DVRs for each location, then you can pause at that location, but then you can't watch a recording on one TV from a DVR attached to another TV. That function is supposedly coming, but is not available now.
Hope this helps a little.

New Fios Customer and Extremely Disappointed

Hello,
I just signed on to Verizon Fios because I've heard great things, however I've been extremely disappointed in what I've experienced so far.
My set up for installation was Sat 1/4 between 9am-12pm. The installer showed up late, at 12:10pm. It then took him until 3:45pm to complete the installation- over 3.5 hours! I have no idea why it took so long for him to come in, set me up with a dvr box and internet. I was previously with Optimum and they were in and out with installation in 30 minutes AND they arrived within their window. My entire morning and afternoon was gone because I had to wait around all morning because I thought he would show up before noon, and then I'm not really sure why it took him ALL afternoon to set up.
On Sun 1/5 as I was watching tv the screen went black. It was on mute and all of a sudden it just shut off. So I then spent over 2 hours on the phone first with an automated lady and then two different techs trying to fix the issue, which they concluded that I need a new set top box. The earliest time they could give me is Wed 1/8 between 8am-8pm.
This service window of 12 hours is absolutely beyond ridiculous!! I have never heard of a 12 hour window before for anything! Whenever I had an issue with Optimum, they were there the next day before 10am.
I cannot take an entire day off from work to sit around my apartment waiting for a guy who will probably show up at 8:10pm. (And I do not have family or friends nearby who can take the day to sit in my apartment for me in case the guy shows up between 8a-8p) And it's crazy that I was just set up with cable/internet on late afternnon Sat, and within 24 hours cable's not working- and now I have to wait 3 days before anyone can come fix this??
I need my service window to be Wed 1/8 between 6:30pm - 8pm. I'm ready to leave and go back to Optimum.
Thank you.

I know what you mean. I am also a new fios customer after newly 8 years with optimum. I am beyond disappointed and quite furious! The tech guys that installed my fios on 1/4/14 took 4+ hours and admitted that they are not familiar with fios all that well even though they have been working with Verizon for years. The picture quality is sub-par to optimum, I don't know if something went wrong with the installation, but I am left with extremely blurry SD channels and slightly pixelated HD channels. If you can called that HD! I have had Tech support come over and they gave me all the excuses on under the sun and even insinuated that I am seeing things. Its really frustrating that I haven't been able to find a tech that is knowledgeable enough to fix this issue.
Alas a customer service rep told me to give them another chance and that he will send an experience tech to my house on Monday 1/13/14 between 9-12am. If this tech person give me any excuse short from actually checking the splitter outside my door or switching the wires, I am going back to optimum! Fios has been a complete nightmare to say the least and I hope both our issues get fix soon.

Remote and local interface on same ejb 3.0 bean instance

Hi,
Is it posible to get remote and local interface on same ejb 3.0 bean instance.
For example get local interface of a bean and than pass it as remote to client.
Both interfaces must operate on same bean instance.
Thanks
Zlaja

yes. You can implement multiple interfaces on a single class, so you can add a local and a remote interface. One trick to avoid duplicate code is to simply make the remote interface extend the local interface; then you only have to add the @Remote annotation and you're done.
For example get local interface of a bean and than pass it as remote to client.You don't pass an instances to a client, a client looks up a remote instance of the bean through JNDI.

Who worked with ICS' Model 4896 GPIB? I can not count the data from the module. Can prompt as it to make. It is desirable with examples (data read-out from the module and data transmission between channels. It is in advance grateful.

Hello. Most of the engineers in developer exchange are more familiar

course of action.

Remote and local databases

let say that i access a oracle form through the web and that form access data from two distributed databases, then will there be a remote database and local database for the user or all the databases will be remote databases to the user

In my opinion.
using local databases -- access tables without DB_link
using Remote databases -- access tables through DB_link

Remote and Local Site Sync Problems

I have a customer who is using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS X. Dreamweaver is setup to have a local site as our development server(win 2k3) and the remote site as our live web server(win 2k3). The folder structure on both the development and live web server is the same. When you view the path in the manage site window of dreamweaver it shows both remote and local site listed as /Volumes/www/Data. When dreamweaver connects to both of these to sync the files nothing happens since it sees them as the same place.
I have looked in the /Volumes folder on the customers computer and two listings appear for the servers www and www-1. This is not what dreamweaver shows and if you repoint the link to the www-1 folder it just changes back to www.
I have tried to create alias' and symbolic links to distinguish one folder from the other however nothing I seem to change has any effect.
If you use finder on the machine it can distinguish between the two folders I just need to figure out how to make dreamweaver do the same.
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately no I do not have a solution. I was not able to find out at the time and the problem went away with the migration to a content management system for our web server. Also the Develpment team changed hands and the new people all use windows machines.
Good Luck trying to find a solution.

Bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet and Customer Service

I had an extremely bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet service and I will never use Verizon again.
In August 2014, I called and installed the Verizon Fios Internet and phone bundle. I asked the customer agent several times if I will be charged anything before the installation of the Internet and phone service. She said, 'No, we will only start charging after the Internet and phone are installed at your apartment'. I went to the store and picked up the router and phone and installed it at home by myself. The router did not work. I called Tech support and they said it will take several days for another available agent to come and look into the issue. I decided to discontinue the service and closed the account that same night.
At the end of the month, I received a bill of $80 of activation fee for the internet service. Nothing was ever activated, my internet router did not work, and I got charged an activation fee for a service that I did not even start using. From August to December, I called customer service over 10 times and some of them said they will waive it while the others said it's a non-refundable activation fee. One lady said, 'Ma'am, the activation fee starts when you placed the order, the warehouse received it and packed the router in the boxes....' Isn't that ridiculous? If that's the case, please ask all your customer representative to say a clause before new customers open their account: Are you aware that you will be charged a non-refundable activation fee once you open the account regardless of whether or not you use the service or not.
So after 3 months (November 2014), I decided to get out of all these troubles and paid off my $80 activation fee. They put the bill in the collection agency and I called them and paid the overdue balance. Then in December 2014, I received a statement saying I have a $3.11 overdue balance. The collection agency told me that they will charge me for the whole activation fee and a $3 transaction fee for the transaction. So now Verizon came back and said I owed them the $3 because I paid the collection agency their transaction fee.
I am very disappointed and furious about the whole Verizon operating system. Charging a customer for an activation fee for a service s/he has not consumed or used does not make any business sense. In addition, they do not know how to coordinate with the collection agency on overdue bills. Give the customer a heads-up that they will be charged a transaction fee on top of the overdue balance, and that transaction fee does not count towards clearing the balance.
I have completely lost my confidence in Verizon albeit the many good feedback from my friends.

Hi crystallau52,
Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

Performance with globle variable and local var.

hi anyone
i just have one performance question about the globle var and local. is having a globle var that is initialized with 'new' at one place better than having local var that is initialzed with 'new' in several places? for example, i have a access var that is initialzed with DB connection. should i have it as a globle var? or put it in the functions where it is needed, and initialize it with DB connection? in both cases, i need to use new operator.
thanks in advance.

First , don't use the term "global variable". It is misleading and not an official part of the Java nomenclature. I think the term used should be ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) instance variable. In C and C++ globale variables really are global - they can be accessed by any and all classes which include the header file.
OK, having got that out of my system, back to the question. The value is gotten from a database, right? Whether you make it an instance variable or not depends on you design and whether the value in the database is likely to change during the lifetime of the instance.
For example, if this class is a superclass of another, and the cild needs to know the value of the variable, it is often convenient to make it an instance variable so the subclass can access it directly.
But if the value is likely to change, then you may want to have a getter method which returns the current value in the database.
The latter will clearly have more overhead associated with it since you would need to get the value each time, but it is probably safer than having an instance variable.

How to change value of instance variable and local variable at run time?

As we can change value at run time using debug mode of Eclipse. I want to do this by using a standalone prgram from where I can change the value of a variable at runtime.
Suppose I have a class, say employee like -
class employee {
public String name;
employee(String name){
this.name = name;
public int showSalary(){
int salary = 10000;
return salary;
public String showName()
return name;
i want to change the value of instance variable "name" and local variable "salary" from a stand alone program?
My standalone program will not use employee class; i mean not creating any instance or extending it. This is being used by any other calss in project.
Can someone tell me how to change these value?
Please help
Regards,
Sujeet Sharma

This is the tutorial You should interest in. According to 'name' field of the class, it's value can be change with reflection. I'm not sure if local variable ('salary') can be changed - rather not.

Transparent Tunneling and Local Lan Access via VPN Client

Remote users using Cisco VPN 4.2 connect successfully to a Cisco Pix 515 (ver. 6.3). The client is configured to allow Transparent Tunneling and Local Lan access, but once connected to the Pix, these two options are disabled. What configuration changes are required on the Pix to enable these options? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Mike Bowyer

Hi Mike,
"Transparent Tunneling" and "Local Lan Access" are two different things. "Transparent Tunneling" is dealing with establishing an IPSec Tunnel even if a NAT device is between your client and the VPN-Headend-Device. "Local LAN Access" is dealing with access to devices in the LAN your VPN-Client-Device is connected to.
What do you mean exactly with "disabled once the connection is made" ?
You can check the local LAN Access by having a look at the Route-Table of the VPN-Client:
Right Click the yellow VPN-lock Icon in System-Tray while the VPN-Connection is active and select "Statistics ...". Have a look at the second register page "route details".
Are any local LAN routes displayed when your are connected ?
And - always remember two important restrictions the Online Help of the VPN-Client is mentioning:
1: This feature works only on one NIC card, the same NIC card as the tunnel.
2: While connected, you cannot print or browse the local LAN by name; when disconnected, you can print and browse by name.
Carsten
PS: Removing Split Tunnel won't enable local LAN access as all traffic would be sent into the IPSec tunnel.

"The file [name of file] may have been changed by another user since you last saved it." Issue affects both network and local files.

When a certain user saves a file in Excel 2010, she gets a message: "The file <name of file> may have been changed by another user since you last saved it." She can choose to save as another file or overwrite with her changes.
This just started happening a week or so ago. She was concerned that someone else was accessing her files, but we did several tests that opened, made a change and saved in a matter of seconds, and she still gets the message. It happens on
most files, but not all – both network and local.
We already tried the QFE_Saskatchewan registry fix. I also checked the file server for Services for Macintosh.

You may be confused by the error in Excel saying “another user”. Actually Excel cannot tell who (the real human) is editing the file. Based on my research the No.1 possibility of the error is KB2626998.
2626998 Connection to a network document is lost in the 2007 Office system or in Office 2010 after the computer resumes from standby
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2626998
For Excel 2010, follow these steps:
a. Click Start , click Run , type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK .
b. Locate and then select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options
c. On the Edit menu, point to New , and then click Dword Value .
d. Type NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds , and then press Enter.
e. Right-click NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds , and then click Modify .
f. In the Value data box, click Decimal , type a number value, and then click OK .
Note This registry subkey sets the time, in seconds, that Excel waits for the network to resume. For example, if you type 15 for the number value, Excel waits 15 seconds for the network to resume. You might have to do some tests in your own environment to
determine an appropriate value. You may have to try multiple numbers.
g. Locate and then select the following registry subkey.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\Internet
h. Repeat step 2C through step 2F again. Reuse the same value that you used previously.
i. Exit Registry Editor.
Feel free to post back. Thanks.

Can external users change their language, time zone, and locale settings?

Hi,
We’re migrating our hosts from WebEx cloud to our on-prem solution right now (CWMS 1.5.1.323.A).
We’ve learned that CWMS 1.5 does not provide an online address book where hosts could customize language, time zone, and locale settings for their external attendees.
Do external users have any chance at all to change their language, time zone and locale settings individually?
Thank you,
Helge

Hi Dejan,
"external users" are those participants, who do not have an LDAP account in our deployment, since they are not intendet to act as hosts: our stakeholders, partners, customers, clients.
It looks, as if these people would stick to the systems' default language / time zone / locale.
We are wondering if there might be a CWMS-component like this:
https://artcom.webex.com/cmp0307l/webcomponents/widget/preference.do?serviceType=MC&siteurl=artcom&target=Page&backUrl=%2Fmw0307l%2Fmywebex%2Fdefault.do%3Fsiteurl%3Dartcom%26service%3D1
to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
Thank you,
Helge
