I can't get the 7216 multi-room DVR, I have the 6000 series

My old comcast dvr had an out coax outlet that I ran to my TV. I found when watching SD I received a better picture when I switched the TV input to CATV which I assume was using the coax cable opposed to using the component or HDMI cable.  I noticed on the Verizon website the 7200 series has the coax out and I spent an hour on the phone trying to get one. Hardly anyone at Verizon knew what I was talking about until I spoke to probably the 5th person.  This person was in tech support and was very helpful.  He set up a service call for one of their techs to come to my home and swap out the box for me.  Well of course when the tech showed up he had no idea what I was talking about, saying as far as he knew the box was unavailable.  Honestly I wish I hadn't switched from Comcast, the TV isn't any better and either is the internet. 
Any ideas?  I said I would just go pick one up like you could do with Comcast but they don't do that.

Call 800-483-4000. Ask to add a new HM DVR to your account and return your existing equipment. You will be refered to a store that is equiped to handle your request. The store reps have an extensive knowledge base reguarding equipment and model numbers. They also have the equipment available for you to exchange if needed. You simply need to add new equipment and return the existing you no longer have a need for. Enjoy FIOS!

  • Is the non-multi-room DVR also 500 hours?

    My ReplayTV just died and I am thinking of upgrading to a FiOS DVR. We currently have a multi-room DVR that my daughter uses and I don't want to share it with her (and vice versa) plus it's the old 80 hour model. It seems like I can only get one multi-room DVR on my system. If I get the cheaper single room DVR (which is fine with me) will it be a 500 hour model? I just did a Verizon chat and they told me it's 80 hours, but their product page still says that BOTH the single and multi-room models are 80 hours so I'm not sure I believe that.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I got my answer on DSL Reports. The two boxes are the same, it's just a matter of whether the multi-room feature is enabled. I'll be calling my local FiOS store in the morning to see if they have 500 hour units in stock and will pay them a visit if they do.
    I'll be able to trade in an HD STB and digital adapter so the price increase won't be that high.

  • I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

    I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

    That's not easy.  The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
    You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy.  See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • How can I get into settings if I don't have the exchange password for my iPod Touch

    I can't update my iPod Touch, 4th gen. through iTunes because it says it can't connect. I can't get into my settings because it keeps asking for an exchange password that I don't remember. Is there some way I can reset the iPod without having access to either of these means?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How can i get a list with all devices that have the same icloud account for iMessage, FaceTime, Reminders, etc...

    Hi, I want to know which devices (iMac, MacBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad & PC) are using my iCloud account, specifically because of iMessage going to devices that im not aware of.
    A list of those devices would be great.
    I do have a list of the ones with find my i activated, but i want the full list. Or at least the ones being used by FaceTime or iMessage!
    Thank you in advance!

    I don't think there's a single place that will give you a list but you can check your devices to create one.  On your iOS devices go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and check the Apple ID at the top.  You can check FaceTime at Settings>FaceTime.  You can check iCloud at Settings>iCloud>Account.  On your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud> click on Account Details.  On your PC go to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>iCloud (you Apple ID is listed on the left).

  • Multi-Room DVR can't play recordings properly

    Wondering if anyone else has this problem, or knows of a solution. 
    I have Multi-Room DVR. In the past, my biggest problem with it was that recordings would occasionally freeze when played on a remote box (i.e. not the main DVR box). I would have to reset the system and try to get past the moment in the recording that was causing the error. The key discovery was that the recording would play fine on the DVR itself, so the problem had something to do with the communication between the DVR and the remote box. It's as if there was an error in the recording that the DVR knew how to resolve during playback but the remote box didn't. 
    Now I'm having a new but similar problem. Recording plays fine on the DVR itself. On the remote box, when I hit a specific moment in the recording, it freezes for a second, then continues but th picture becomes pixelated. To imagine the picture, draw a horizontal line halfway up the picture. Everything above that line is fine. Below it, the right half of the image is now on the left and vice versa. Plus random pixelation. Also the sound becomes "pixelated" in the sense that it turns into a mess of beeps and stutters. 
    Once this happens during the recording, it continues until the end. 
    I know the recording itself is fine because the main DVR box can play it without error. 
    I talked to a tech. He reset the boxes and checked the connection levels. Everything seems fine. His advice was to monitor it, and if it happens again, they'll have to replace everything. 
    Anyone with a similar problem? Was it resolved by changing the boxes out? 

    Hello,
    I would suggest the following:
    From the non-DVR STB that has the pixelated recordings, try following troubleshooting steps:
    Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Reboot STB
    Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Set Top Box Auto-Correction
    Also, if the problematic STB is a Motorola 6000 series, I'd recommend replacing it with a newer model.
    Moreover, try the autocorrection technique for the MRDVR (if the above two are confirmed OK) via the remote.
    Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Autofix MRDVR Issues
    or DVR -- Autofix MRDVR Issues
    If all else fails, contact Verizon's Technical Support at 1-888-553-1555.
    By the way, if you have questions on your account or need to switch out equipment and there is a Verizon FiOS store in your area, then they can help you. You can give them a call; contacting the VZ FiOS store might be less time consuming than calling the 800 number for Customer Service.  For technical-related matters, though, they'll connect you right through to Technical Support.
    Here is a list of Verizon FiOS stores:
    http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/tv/fiostv/General+Support/Account+Issues/QuestionsOne/8...
    Lastly, if the TV show is a fairly popular, the recorded episode might be available ON DEMAND via "Free & Premium" -- TV Shows --- By Network (find network name alphabetically) from the "On Demand" on the TV Remote.
    Good luck!

  • Multi room DVR is not working in the other rooms

  • FIOS TV Multi Room DVR Video On Demand errors

    I recently activated FIOS TV (already had FIOS Internet and Freedom phone) and received 5 STBs (1-QIP7216-1 DVR, two HD STBs a second HD DVR (QIP-6400 and a standard def STB) connected via COAX (MoCA) to an Actiontec Gen2 wireless router. Since the TV service install 1 month ago I have been on the phone with FIOS tech support at least a dozen times trying to resolve intermitent internet connectivity problems and most recently issues with FIOS TV features (i.e. Video on demand and multi-room DVR configurations). The Video on Demand issues would manifest as VOD_6 (request timeouts). Each time I worked with tech support to reset the router, power off the STB, etc and sometimes the VOD service would activate.
    Last week VOD failed again and the FIOS tech I spoke to was havnig difficulties remotely connecting to my STBs (a common situation from previous tech support calls). He dispatched a technician to visit my home to check DB levels for each of my STBs. The field tech arrived two days ago and brought a new QIP7216-1 and a new router. It took over an hour for him to get them working even with help from remote support (they couldn't "see" the STBs). Once they were able to flush out the issues, he departed but unfortunately he left without enabling the multi-room DVR functionality. I called FIOS support yesterday and the remote technician had significant difficulties getting the "system" to recognize my configuration and he eventually broke off our call so he could escalate to Video support. He called me back hours later once he felt that they had resolved all the configuration issues and when I checked everything seemed to be working.
    This morning I tried to program my DVD from my Verizon cellphone (this was working last week) and the DVR displayed a message that my account was not authorized. I called into FIOS support and the automated service attempted repair which included a "reload" of the STB firmware. Once the automated system felt I should be able to continue I noticed that the Video on Demand error VOD_5 happened when I tried to select it and now the option for Remote DVR programming is nolonger available on any menu!
    I called back to tech support and the technician had me unplug and restart the STB but he was having issues remotely accessing the STB. He broke off the call explaining that he needed to escalate to Video Networking specialists and I'm awaiting his call back.
    I am wondering if my experience is common and whether someone else has encountered (and resolved) these frustrating issues. I can't believe that Verizon expects users to have to re-boot routers and STBs anytime a feature is accessed. Hopefully one of the Verizon employees who monitor these forums can see some commonality and suggest a course of action that will bring relief. I have spent more hours troubleshooting my configuration than I've enjoyed the entertainment offerings, Please help! 

    Hi gr8scot,
    Since my original post I can attest that I've made it through 2 weeks without any error messages or unavailable features (fingers and toes crossed) . I can identify with your frustration and hope that once they exorcise the demons from your configuration (if you hang on) it seems that eventually the solution stabilizes. 
    In my case I found some help by contacting the Verizon Customer Relations team at 800-483-7988. Once I got these folks engaged I can say that my blood pressure returned to lower levels as they were in daily communications with me until I was satisfied that my issues were resolved. 
    It's unfortunate that it had to get to that point for me (and for you too) but it was fairly apparent that something about my equipment configuration was confused within the Verizon FIOS provisioning applications (my issues seem to have developed around the time of any equipment or service changes). I spoke to some very dedicated and personable FIOS tech support agents (unfortunately I actually got to know them very well after spending hours on the phone). It was clear to me that they were doing the best that they could and the issues were way above their toolset and my big beef was the lack of communication that happened once the first level folks had to pass the problem off to either the "network group" or the developers. 
    Good luck and hope we both can eventually get to enjoy our entertainment systems.

  • Multi-room DVR and router location

    My multi-room DVR was working fine and so was the Internet, but the only problem was that the wireless Internet signal was too weak for my computer's location.  I was told by 2 different Verizon tech support people that I could move the router upstairs and the multi-room DVR would still work, even though the actual multi-room DVR is still downstairs. 
    So far, the multi-room DVR is not working, but the Internet is and the wireless signal is much stronger for my computer. 
    Does anybody know if there is a way to move the router and not have it directly connected to the multi-room DVR?

    I had a similar problem recently with my MR-DVR.  I made some changes to my Routers Configuration which required a power cycle.  Afterwards my STB and DVR still worked fine, but the STB could not find the MR-DVR.  I had to reboot the MRDVR and STB to get everything back in sync.

  • New HD Set top box and Multi-room DVR

    I just activated a new HD DVR set top box, but it's not seeing any of the shows recorded on the other HD DVR set top box that I've had for over a year.
    Do I just need to wait for the new box/service to be recognized/activated with the hub (the HD DVR I had prior to now) or do I need to call Verizon to make sure they add the multi-room dvr service to the box I just received?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you replaced your dvr that had all your recordings on it, you wont have any of those shows on the new one because they are stored on the dvr itself.   But maybe im misunderstanding you, are you trying to watch recordings on a 2nd dvr, the multiroom feature does not work from dvr to dvr you can only stream to 6200,7100, and  2500 series stbs.

  • Multi Room DVR Problem

    Recently had FIOS TV installed and all was working fine until last night.  We have the multi-room DVR and have 3 other HD boxes that were able to access the DVR.
    Last night, one of the three HD boxes gave me an error when I tried to access the DVR and said it could not access the DVR.
    I unplugged both the DVR and the HD box.  Now, not only cannot I not access the DVR, the TV guide also does not work (i.e. does not give me any listings, just that info is not available) and also no access on VOD.
    Any ideas?

    Is your internet connection working? The router is what provides guide information to the TVs over the coax cable using MOCA. It sounds like you might have lost your MOCA signal.

  • 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:

  • New to FIOS TV Multi-room DVR - Should I be able to use DVR functions from the other HD STBs?

    We just converted from Directv (three DVRs) to FIOS TV and am hoping I didn't make a huge mistake: The sales agent I spoke to said that the Multi-room DVR (Motorola QIP-7216-1) and non-DVR STB would enable me to get the same features I had with my Directv setup so each user could Stop/Start/Record programming from their own remote. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can only perform DVR control functions from the real DVR. I can view recorded programming on the non-DVR STBs but pressing record for a live broadcast or trying to select a show to record from the guide doesn't work.
    I have the ActiontecGen2 MOCA connected MI424WR router, three HD STBs (Motorola 7000), one standard definition STB and the DVR.

    As you've found, you can only create recordings from the DVR.  If you want each room to have the ability to schedule recordings, then you need a separate DVR in each room.
    The FiOS Motorola DVRs cannot access recordings stored on other DVRs.
