FIOS VOD, why can't we pause it!!!!!

I think it is ridiculous that we can't pause, stop ff, rew on FIOS VOD.   It is a real pain when watching a show, if you need  pause for something, that you need to completley start over again!    This is a real weakness that should be changed IMO.  Comcast allowed you to pause,, etc.....

The fault is with the provider (ABC and NBC).  They require no FF so you can't skip their commercials and the implementation disables all the functions.  VOD movies and shows not on those networks do allow full function control.

    Alright, so I unplugged my Fios router and plugged in my NetGear router for about an hour or so. Then I unplugged my NetGear router and plugged back in my Fios router. But then, Ethernet slot on the Fios router is orange even though the wire was plugged in. However, when I switched back to the NetGear router, the Ethernet was green. Now I can't connect to the internet using the Fios router, why? BTW, I probably accidently unplugged the Fios Box but I quickly plugged it back in.
    The system DHCP asigns the IP address based on the MAC hardware address of the router. If you plugged your Netgear into the ONT, and it was able to pick up an address that quick, you would need to find a way to release the address from the Netgear and unplug it quickly before it gets reasigned back to the Netgear. Or leave the Netgear unpluged for about a hour or two, then plug the Actiontec back into the ONT. It might not take an hour or two to get the new address, but it is one way to prevent residential customers from getting more than one public IP address. Or connect the Actiontec and call the Verizon FCS and have them release and renew your IP. 

  • Why can't Siri pause/resume any audio via the common audio interface in i

    Siri should be able to pause or resume, even playbnext or previous for any audio in your iPhone. Since iOS has that shared audio interface you would think she would support the same features which are built into the operating system. But when you try it with pandora for example, she complains you are not listening to any music. Surely this is something that should be supported.

    Sounds like a good idea. Let Apple know you'd like to see that feature:

  • Why can I get several HD channels in HD on my rooftop antenna, but the not on Fios?

    Why can I get several HD channels in HD on my rooftop antenna, but not on Fios?
    E.g. WABC, WNBC, WLIW and WNET come in at least 4 HD channels via my rooftop antenna but only one WLIW (non-HD) on Fios.
    Bummer.
    I can switch from the RF to HDMI sources but I thought with all of the channels I could at least get the ones I watch.
    I'm located in Northern NJ USA, about 10 miles (line of sight) from NYC.

    I assume you get the NJ versions of those channels? 
    Networks pay for exclusive programming rights within specific markets. Cable operators are only allowed to offer a specific set of local channels within their designated media market (DMA).  If you aren't considered to be in the NYC market, then you aren't supposed to receive those channels.
    Like many in the DC area, I can pickup the Baltimore locals with an antenna, but I as I live in the DC DMA, those are the only channels I receive from Verizon, Comcast, DirecTV, etc.  Note there are circumstances where a customer might fall between two markets, living in an area with overlapping DMAs; in that case, the provider can choose to offer two different sets of locals.  Verizon FiOS does do that in some areas.

  • 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 Verizon Come out to Help Me?

    I've had FiOS TV for quite some time. When the technician came he quickly ran to the door when I asked him to help me program my DVD player and told me it was not compatible and not his priority.
    Now (almost 3 years later not being able to use my DVD player), I bought a new BLu-Ray and cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook it up.
    I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR VERIZON FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO COME OUT AND HOOK IT UP FOR ME and they refuse and continue to say it is not their responsibiity.
    I don't have any friends who know how to do it and it's going on 3 years + that I've had to use my laptop to watch a DVD.
    Why can't Verizon come out if I pay and hook it up for me????
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Verizon does not install / set up non-Verizon equipment.
    If you are willing to pay to have it configured, then try Geek Squad at Best Buy (but don't expect it to be cheap).

  • Can't un-pause printer

    I have a Konica-Minolta Magicolor 2450 printer that is my default printer.  Somehow it has been paused - though I don't know how that happened - and I can't un-pause it.  I have checked Help Center but everything it says to do I can't. 
    For example, in Manage print jobs, under Pause, resume or delete a print job, it says: "1) While your document is printing, click the printer’s icon in the Dock.  2) To resume a paused print job, select it, and then click the small Resume Job button on the right (marked with a curved arrow)."
    The printer icon in the dock is a printerproxy, when I click it nothing opens, just the toolbar (next to the Apple in the top left corner) shows with:
    PrinterProxy  File  Edit  Window  Help
    But there is nothing in any of the menu items that relates to printing.  I never see the print queue, never can select a print job to delete, pause, or resume.  Why can I not manage my print jobs?  Worse, I can't un-pause my printer, so I can't print anything.  What's the solution?

    You may have some trouble as it doesn't seem to be a supported model/driver for OS 10.8.

  • Why do hotkeys sometimes pause from working?

    Why do hotkeys sometimes pause from working?
    I hit H for hand, and it stays on whatever my current
    icon/tool is. for example right now i was using the magnifying
    glass, I hit H, and I still was using the magnifying glass.
    Sometimes I'll hit V for the arrow and it stays on something else.
    Why is this happening to me? Will it be like this forever? sigh.
    BTW the only temp. fix is for me to click on the item in the
    toolbar and then the keys start working again, but what made it
    pause?!
    -Line

    I've now realized that it's the zoom tool that's causing the
    hotkey stick. I use the zoom/magnifying glass, to zoom in and out
    and if I hit a hotkey nothing happens, can't go to another tool.
    Adobe, please fix!

  • Why can't Apple figure out Keynote to QuickTime???

    User problems with QuickTime exporting from Keynote are legion (just look at these discussion forums). Why can't Apple (makers of both Keynote and QuickTime) master this task?
    I want a QuickTime video of a self-running presentation. I have audio narration on each slide via .WAV files. My animation timings are set perfectly to match the narration. My transitions are set to advance at the appropriate time in the narration. When I view the show, everything works PERFECTLY. Narration is intact, animations are perfectly timed, slides automatically advance at exactly the right time. Now all I need is a video of my presentation in QuickTime. No problem, I'll use Keynote's handy Export to QuickTime tool.
    Then things get ugly. I export to QuickTime and it all falls apart. The timing is off. Long pauses between my slide transitions. Bah. All I want is a QuickTime version of exactly what I see when I play the slideshow - but that's not what I get. Incredibly frustrating. I was hoping they'd fix this in Keynote '09. Alas, not so.
    Step it up, Apple. Please!

    This is truly unbelievable. I have used apple equipment since the Apple II. Quicktime and keynote are key apple software. Why can't apple figure this out. I am a college professor recording audio with keynote presentations. Keynote operates very well. Never a problem. Why can't I export to quicktime without trouble? Why do we need to work around this? The quicktime export produces a video track and a movie track, but no audio track. You can check this in the properties after export. It doesn't matter what export settings I choose. Always a movie without an audio track. I am a simple college professor trying to get lecture movies on the course management system. If the audio is recorded on keynote, which it is, why can't quicktime pick it up and add it to the movie? This problem has been around for years through several versions of quicktime and keynote. Is this an Apple culture where the keynote people don't talk to the quicktime people? Either keynote should record in a format that quicktime can use or quicktime should be able to read the keynote audio and add it to the movie. How can this be education friendly if a college professor can't export his recorded keynote presentations to quicktime? I don't want a work around that takes me extra time. My time is precious and my students need access very soon after the lecture. This should be at the top of a fix-it list in the apple education group.

  • Why can't I get my pre order to download on my iphone?

    I downloaded some pre ordered music to my mac this morning but I cannot get the music to show up in my purchased items on my iphone so I can download it there also. I'm at work and cannot sync my phone with my work computer so I would like to redownload the music directly to my iphone. The account is the same so why can't I see the music in recent purchases? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Why can't i open an attached document (most often pps) with firefox when i can with internet explorer?

    why can't i open an attached document (most often pps) with firefox when i can with internet explorer?

    Perhaps if you change your setting here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Applications tab
    In the search box, type '''power''' and then pause until the list is filtered. If you have these, try changing the action to "Always Ask":
    Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation<br>
    Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show
    It's possible that if you don't have Microsoft Office installed, you might not have those listed.

  • If I click stop, why can't I simply re-start the track?

    I got to say I can't get on with the new version of iTunes. And I normally embrace change but this is not better in any way whatsoever.
    Most frustrating is when I'm playing a track, If I click stop, why can't I simply re-start the track? It doesn't comu up with an option to pause the track...
    Also, when I click on an track that sits on my desktop, why doesn't iTunes autoatically default to show the music folder and the actual track thats showing....
    Grrrrrrrrrrr....
    Neil

    iTunes does allow you to pause and restart a track as long as you don't change the source. If you do that you only get the stop option.
    If I remember correctly iTunes has always done this, you are not the first person tp find this annoying.
    If you would like to suggest improvements to iTunes, use the "Provide iTunes feedback" option on teh iTunes help menu. We are all just users here so it is unlikely that anyone from Apple will read your post.

  • Why can't I charge my Iphone 4s on the actiontec router rev I?

    I mean with rev E I could charge my IPhone and with the rev I I can't? Why can't I charge my iphone with the actiontec rev i. I mean the actiontec rev I have 2 blue USB sockets so many usb 3 but it won't charge my Iphone 4s why not when the rev E could? The usb light lights up but no charging to my 4s why not and when I take my iphone 4s from the charger the lights go out but with the charger still on there but not my iphone on the charger.

    I don't know what you mean by "right pins". I switched the action back to my rev E since I can't charge my iphone and the rev E can.
    I really don't have an answer, other than USB 3 is different, the standard includes 5 more wires in the cable and associated pins in the connectors at each end of the cable. As far as I know the power connector pins are the same for both USB 2 and USB 3, but as I said, my Android phone powers just fine from my Rev. I router, just as it does from the USB 2 ports on my older Actiontec, laptop and DVR. So the USB 3 ports on my Rev. I router most definitely provide power to my Android phone.
    Do you have any other devices that offer a USB 3 port that you could try to charge from? Or maybe some other phone or device that you could try on your Rev. I router? If not, maybe you could borrow another cable just to see if your iPhone will charge from the Rev. I router.
    Of course it is also possible the USB 3 ports on your router are defective or not powered up for some reason. Do you have a neighbor or friend with a Rev. I that you could test with, or maybe a Verizon store nearby that you could see if it will work there?
    I'm sorry, but that is all I can think of for now. Hope you can get it figured out.

  • Why can'y we get any help

    for more than 2 years we've repeatedly asked for our comcast tv and internet to be fixed. for 2 years it's been the same thing, change the box and say everything is fine, when it's not. for the last month there have been multiple appontments made with none kept and with no call. no one seems to know a thing or even care and it's gotten way too old, to the point of cancelling and moving on to fios/verizon. so I ask why can't we get any help?. we've asked for an upgrade, no past money is due, can't play video games live (runs too slow) things just do not work as advertised and again no one here or where ever our calls are sent to seems to care. it's we'll send someone on this date and then they don't show, call again and the same thing. 5 times in the month of July alone.

    The Comast team available to the forum has been notified, expect a response here soon.
