Listings by Channel?

I just switched to Verizon FIOS from Comcast. I have a question about the Guide. Is there an easy way to view the TV listings for one channel, and then use the arrow buttons to move through the channels. For example, I want to view all of today's programs for channel 511. I then want to view all of the programs for the next channel. I know you can select the Guide and select the right arrow to move through the time slots, but in this case I only want to see the listings for one channel on screen and not all of the surrounding channels. I have searched this forum and the internet, but haven't found an answer. I know you can use the search and enter a channel number to see today's programs, but it's not easy to scroll through the channels that way. I have the QIP6416-2 DVR.
Thanks,
Ron

JasonGM,
That's the way I'm doing it. Unfortunatley, Comcast had an easy way of doing this. You would go to the Menu, and select listings by channel. You could enter the channel number, and it would give the listings for that channel. You could then just push the right arrow button to move through the channels. Using the Verizon search feature, you have to do a new search for each channel that you want to view.
Thanks for your reply!

I need your opinion could this all be a defect I only have had this tv for about two months and I have comcast cable the type where you can have a guide and see the listings of channels well, I notice the other day when I was watching tv and their would be a brief pause in the cable and it would have no picture. The tv would blink? until the next commercial or tv show came on. what could this be?

The TV would work fine when the commercial came on? Does it seem like this happens in a timed event like every 5 or 10 mins or it only works fine when a commercial comes on. It sounds more like a HDMI handshake issue. Are you using an HDMI cable?

Guide Content Thirteen - HEADS UP

This coming Sunday, 19 February the FIOS TV listings for Channel 513 PBS shows incorrent information. Masterpiece is on at 9PM not 10PM and runs for two(2) hours, 9 to 11PM.
Where does Verizon get its information from? There are always errors in the guide especially for PBS.

There have been many requests to change guide data providers. Vote for mine,

Also Vote for this one that is more than two years old, and states they are working on making the data better.

"We evaluated all the available options and each has its benefits and drawbacks. We are currently implementing procedures that will improve the integrity of the guide data."
It seems like the drawback with switching providers, is that it might cut into their profits, and or require a new img for them to use Tribune Media Services that almost all other providers use. It is MOST ACCURATE, and what is found on the TiVO box my daughter uses. Yes I do find errors in the guide from time to time, but not as many as when the first idea in the second link above was posted.

The Movie Channel (TMC) not searchable in TV Listings Search Box. ??

On the TV Listings page on the Verizon website, when you type in The Movie Channel (TMC) or enter the number of that channel, the results are "no results". WHY is that?? (i've only tried that one channel. Probably others don't show either.)
Search feature is awful (for more reasons than just this one)
Or am I wrong about searching for this channel?
Thank you.

My mobile app listings changed to display NY channels

At one point, my mobile app listings were correct, but they changed so that I am seeing NY channels instead of Philly local channels. I have deleted and reinstalled, but no change. Help please...

Me again. It has now been 9 days, and no replies, are there actual Verizon reps monitoring these boards? I see that there are over 50 views, that tells me that this isn't a unique problem. Can I get some support please?

The FIOS Channel Listings need to be rearranged.

When I first got FIOS over a year ago, there were slightly less channels, and the channels that were here were well organized by the group of 10 they were in. For example, the 50s are for major entertainment channels. The 70s to 90s are for Sports. It's logical.
But since then, Verizon have seemed to add channels at random. In the 190s, you have both Chiller and FearNET... as wel as E!... as well as the TV Guide Network, FuelTV, and ABCFamily. None of those are related. A ton of these channels need to be rearranged. Why is Sleuth inbetween Bravo and Logo? The 180s are as follows:
180 - Syfy
181 - A&E
182 - CRIME
183 - truTV
184 - GSN
185 - Bravo
186 - Sleuth
187 - LOGO
188 - Ovation
189 - BBC America
There is a logic to that. A&E, CRIME, and truTV should be togther, for example. But Syfy does not belong here. BBC America does not either, although it fits in well with 190 and 191, so I assume you could make that argument, though it breaks the channel listing logic.
The 460s and up don't make any sense to me. I don't even remember I have them. It's a random collection of channels that seem like they belong before the 50s, and are instead dumped at the end of the lineup. At the VERY LEAST, they should be before the PPV Channels, and not after. There's a bunch of PBS channels here, which is bizarre since there are a bunch of PBS channels in the <50s. And while I know you can't fit them in there because of all the Local Channels, it is confusing to me, as well as seemingly hiding the channels from me.
In addition to that, what is with the HD Channels? Some of them don't match their non-HD channel listing number. The Disney Channel is 250, for the non-HD version. For some reason, it is 780 in the HD version. It should be 750.
There are many areas where I would like to see improvement in simple things such as that. It's a much easier thing to fix than adding all the HD Channels I'd want

The only way i can see to do this, is to select your audio track in the timeline and export using Quicktime conversion/ "format" AIFF, check in options that it is set to mono. Save the file and import into Audition. It works for me although I have Soundbooth not Audition.
Good luck.

X-1 channel guide listings (no DVR)

If it is possible, I would like to be able to select only the channels that I watch the most (e.g.: no spanish channels) in the "guide". I have the X-1 with no DVR and I am still learning how to use the equipment. Thank-You for any help you can give!

The best X1 has is Favorites, but it only stays turned on for 90 minutes. Choosing each Favorite is permanent. http://sitesearch.xfinity.com/?cat=univ&q=favorites

Qam Channel listings??

Where can I get the listing of channels available via clear QAM?
Also, if verizon monitors these boards, I'd love to hear why non pay channels (TBS, Spike etc) aren't available via clear QAM?

New .TV (pets, recipe, etc.) and Viacom channels not in zap2it or Tivo guides

So, it's been about a month since the new .tv channels came out and two days since the Viacom HD channels were introduced. And zap2it.com, Tivo, etc. all still don't list ANY of the new channels in their programming guides.
I've opened cases with Tivo. With Zap2it. With Verizon. Everyone points fingers saying it's the other's fault.
In the meantime, for the .TV channels that got added a while back, if you go to zap2it, or Tivo, you get "loor633" for channel name and "to be announced" for guide info for pets.tv. You get "loor599" for Cars.tv. You get "loor674" for MYDestination.tv. Etc.
And for the Viacom channels, you also get nothing. Just blank space with "to be announced" for programming info.
From what I understand, Verizon needs to tell Tribune that their channel lineup has changed. And Tribune, Zap2it and Tivo all claim that Verizon hasn't done that. Verizon, of course, is silent on the matter and the "fiber solutions center" says there is nothing they can do right now and that channel info for the .tv and Verizon channels might get added to online guides in a few MONTHS!?!?!?!?!?!?
Why does this seem to be a problem with Verizon's lineup and no one else's? When I had Dish, Zap2it would have updated listings within 2 hours of new channel additions. When I had Charter, both Zap2it and Tivo had channel guide info for new channels usually the day BEFORE the channel was added. But Verizon doesn't seem to provide Tribune with new channel info / guide data at all.
Having had FIOS for less than two months, I'm not happy. I'm almost certain the goal is for Verizon to get me to dump my lifetime Tivo service and instead pay them $15.99 for their DVR. But trust me -- I'd rather go back to Charter first.

I do not understand why you folks are blaming Verizon for this. Please give me a moment to explain my theory.
First of all, I have been for a long time a very dissatisfied user of the FiOS Guide data. So dissatisfied that late last year I sent an email to Verizon's CEO expressing my dissatisfaction, and providing examples and pointers to various forum threads discussing the problem. I received maybe 4 or 5 phone calls about the issue, no resolution, but I was told the procedure for the FiOS Guide was this:
Each channel (say ESPN, whatever) develops the data, and sends it to FYI Television of Grand Prairie, TX (in the DFW area). FYI gathers the schedule info from all of the channel providers and once a day sends that data to Verizon. Verizon then inputs the data to the Guide and bingo, we see it, good or bad (lots and lots of bad IMO). I have no way to know if this is really the process, but this is the way it was explained and it makes sense to me.
Now, lets talk about one of the other guide providers for the Tivo or whatever. It seems to me that a very similar process would have to take place: channel to guide data collector to actual guide data provider (maybe the last two are one and the same?).
Now, where would Verizon be in this process for the other guide data providers? Seems to me nowhere, it should be the responsibility of the channel to notify the data provider that the channel is now on FiOS, what the channel name and number is, etc.
I am sure you will disagree with me, but where am I wrong? It seems to me you should be complaining to the channel providers, not Verizon.

Channel Guide Update - Questions & Concerns

In speaking with customer support this morning, it would appear that my only recourse for letting Verizon know that I don’t like the new Channel Guide is to make a post on the forums and this seems like the most applicable one.
To start, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the old channel guide and I can’t figure out what the new guide does better aside from possibly displaying 2 additional channels per page…at the cost of incorporating a GIANT active dvr UI (user interface), an awful color scheme and a PiP window in the channel guide that seems to have had its size reduced to about ¼ of the previous one.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to change the display back to the old style or at least something close to it? I only had 15 minutes to play around with it this morning before work, but the rest of the new display styles are even worse than the standard one and I was hoping there was another options section that I didn’t notice as far as the overall display goes.
For those of you who use the verizon DVR services, that display has also changed and I can only assume that it’s geared towards displaying commercials while we use the dvr functions b/c there’s no other reason for it to take up so much room on the screen at the moment.
The previous dvr display used to consist of a small horizontal bar across the bottom of the screen that displayed the basic channel info (channel #, name of the show, run time etc etc), showed you the speed at which it was rewinding or fast forwarding and the point in the show that you were currently watching. With the update, the DVR window is MASSIVE and it has to be taking up close to 1/3 of the screen when you hit the FF, RW or play button. However, even with the new giant dvr display, there’s nothing being utilized in the actual display and I have a feeling it’s going to be used for corporate commercials or simply advertising verizon on-demand programming.
The new channel guide is clearly slower than the old one too and as I said earlier, I just didn’t see anything that warranted the huge makeover and I have trouble understanding how this new version of the channel guide could’ve possibly been beta tested by anyone and wound up in this state.
I love the verizon internet speed and I’ve come to find that their customer service is excellent, but this change was possibly enough to make me drop the full package I currently utilize and simply maintain the internet going forward for the sake of accessing websites like hulu & netflix for my television needs.

Agreed. The new guide format is slow, the text is difficult to read, but worst of all, you can only see a few channels at
a time when scrolling. With hundreds of channels, you need to be able to glance at many channel listings quickly
on one screen, before quickly scrolling to the next screen.
I agree this is so bad that I will have to look at cable or satellite options if the old channel guide is not restored, at least
as an option. It was great! Why fix what isn't broken? Or more to the point, why break something that was an asset
to the service?
If FIOS tries to hold me to whatever the term of my contract period and penalizes me for dropping the service, my
position would be that the service provided by FIOS with the new channel guide is materially and adversely different from
what I signed up for, and this unilateral change on the part of Verizon voids my obligations under the deal. But all
I really want is the option to return to the prior channel guide format.

Personalized channel guide

I'm new to FiOS TV and find myself facing many of the same questions, and disappointments, I had as a Comcast customer. For example, channel clutter.
The package I subscribe to has dozens of channels I will truly never, ever, ever watch even though I am subscribed to them by default within my package. Checking the guide requires scrolling past listings of all those channels I don't care about. Channel surfing is like walking through mud it's so thick with uninteresting channels.
For decades TVs have allowed users to quickly and easily add/delete channels from showing up when surfing. That's pretty much what I'm looking for - get the unwanted channels off the guide, out of search results, and never appear when I'm surfing.
I think I could create a "Favorites" set if I had the patience. But adding each channel via the web UI requires four separate clicks:
On the little heart at the left of the guide
Choosing Favorites 1 or 2
Save
Closing the "Your channel was added to Favorites" window
I just don't have the patience for 200 or so clicks just to create my personalized favorites list.
Someone please tell me there's a better, meaning faster and easier, way to customize my viewing experience. I feel like I have gone backward 20 years in flexibility.
Thanks,
Jay

Thanks for trying but it doesn't really help.
The new system sucks. CHANGE IT BACK!!!!

I want to move a channel

I have returned from holiday to find that my BT Vision + box channels have all been altered by BT. My previous signals were from the Winter Hill transmitter, north west, but then altered to BBC Wales,(1) ITV Wales (3) and SC4 (Welsh language) (4) I have spent a lot of time doing rescans, particularly using the trick of letting the scan proceed, in part, with the aerial out, and more by luck than judgement, I have BBC NW (1) and ITV NW (3) back. So I now have the stations back to normal with the exception of Channel Four. I found it on number 896 and made it a Favourite, and it can be accessed by going to Favouites after pressing the BTVision button. SC4 occupies the position of Channel Four in my channel listings. I want to delete SC4 altogther and replace it with Channel Four, so I have channels 1,2,3,4,5,etc etc. Is this possible? I am apprehensive of doing yet another channel scan in case the others revert to the Wales transmitter. It looks to me as if SC4 can be 'hidden' but not removed. What is the point of that?

Hi TimothyWF,
Welcome and thanks for posting. Take a look at Missing Freeview channels on BT TV. try clicking on Channel & signal check. Let us know if that helps.

Why does Verizon shuffle arond local channels?

I have a question.
Now, I currently have DirecTV but I've been thinking about getting Verizon FiOS when it is finally available in my area. One thing though that I'm noticing about Verizon is they appear to be doing this same crazy practice that the local Cable Companies does... It drove me crazy all the time... Basically, it is where they shift all the local channel numbers around so you have to keep stopping to think about where the channel has been moved to.
For example in the Boston, the local terrestrial channels are like this.
2(WGBH), 4(WWBZ), 5(WCVB), 7(WHDH), 11(PBS New Hampshire), 25(WFXT), ... 44(WGBX), 56(WLVI) 62, 68,etc. Simple enough. Now thankfully DirecTV keeps this same pattern...
However on Verizon for say the city of Belmont, MA (Zipcode "02476") the channel lineup is like this.. 38 comes in on 3. 25 comes in on 8. 56 jumps to 12... etc. No kind of normalcy basically....
Why did Verizon do this????I see they already have channels going over 1000 so why didn't they vacate 0-99 nationally so the local channels can fall into their correct slot and then start the cable stations like say above channel 99???
In having DirecTV, I've noticed the way that company gets around needing to shift all the local channels all over is they start all of their cable TV stations above channel 99. This leaves 2-99 as open- so that the local channel can goto its correct allotment anywhere in the USA. It just seems logical to leave the local channels in their true slot so I'm wondering what was soo appealing about this type of format where everything gets scattered all over.
Does anyone have some idea of what I'm missing and perhaps if there's some kind of method to this madness-- which I've never quite understood?
~J. P.

I'm glad I was able to reassure you, but I now think I went too far. Looking at your channel listings you provide, Verizon has some major problems to make it all line up. And looking in more detail at ours, it isn't as simple as I made it out to be.
Verizon, IMO to their credit, has tried to standardize channel assignments for most everything around the country. Easier for them I suspect. Anyway, they start their SD cable channels at 50 in most places, I think; that means that UHF channels 50 and above must be relocated somewhere, and they do that, down into the low range. Here in Texas, some of the higher broadcast channels, but not all, are relocated - 27 to 7, 33 to 9, 39 to 10, etc, while 21 is on 21, 29 is on 29, etc.Verizon puts the local PEG cable channels at 30-47, then TV Guide at 48, and local weather at 49, then the real cable channels 50 and above. So all of the local broadcast channels that they carry are reloacated if necessary to below 30 here.
The HD channels (the ones that do offer HD channels) do follow the scheme I mentioned, local + 500.
When I made my statement earlier, I was really thinking of the "major" channels (ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS, etc), because those are pretty much the only local channels I watch, I forgot about all of the various smaller channels (religeous, Spanish language, etc) that they do carry. Sorry, I really didn't mean to make a mistake, I should have actually looked at the lineup first.

TV Listings do not display correctly in Firefox

I am using windows 7, 64 bit on one computer and windows 7 32 on an other. Neither display the TV listings correctly in Firefox V. 21. I accept cookies, I have cleared the cache.
The channels appear in the left column, although out of line, and are for Dallas, TX, and I live in NJ. After the table of channels, the listings appear, once again, for Dallas.
Here's the bottom:

Have you tried using another browser? I have Firefox 21 on a WIN7 64 bit, WIN7 32 bit, and a WIN8 computer. All three display the TV listings correctly.
Try deleting your Verizon cookies. Sometimes individual cookies get corrupted for some reason.

200478 no channels in task after Windows 7 auto updates

MS pushed a Win7 update this morning while I had Labview open, but was not actually running any VI's. After that, several VI's that had been working yesterday, and have not been changed in any way hung when accessing my USB-6251 at the acquisition timing setup step, and after some time bombed. I also could not start the test interface in MAX but it did recognize the hardware. I noticed 2 listings for this hardware and on starting MAX and would first get an error message claiming the data base was corrupt (this box could be closed). I used the max reset feature to reset the data base. Now MAX features work ok and data transfer can be tested there and seems to work fine (in MAX). When I run my LV programs however, now they immediately bomb after the timing setup step when I attempt to simply read the sample clock rate using a property node (also has always worked before) with error 200478 claiming there are no channels in the task. Clearly there are; the program has not changed since yesterday when it worked fine. Obviously, the windows push corrupted something in the DAQmx arena. How do I clean this up? Thanks.

First thing I would try is a forced recompile (Ctrl-Shift Run Button).
Have you tried building up the same logic in a new VI?
