Remote DVR Activation Failure, but I have a Verizon Router!

I keep getting the following message when I try to activate remote programming:
Remote DVR Activation Failure Remote DVR is not supported on non-Verizon routers.   Remote DVR service works only with the Verizon supplied routers and with no changes to the original setup. Since you are using your own router and/or firewall setup we cannot enable Remote DVR on your account.
The problem is that I DO have a Verizon router, and I don't know what I can do to enable remote programming. To my knowledge I have not made changes to the original setup....

One of my BIGGEST complaints about ALL the remote features and CID. The router MUST have the correct port forwarding rules in the router, so the web site can find the DVR, or STBs for CID. They never get set right, always get messed up with even the simplest changes to the Verizon router. I gave up on all of it and started using my router that I like better. Even with all the correct port forwarding rules in the router, the features are hit or miss in my opinion. These rules are read only and can only be fixed by Verizon.
Contact tech support and insist that it be fixed while you are on the phone. It can be fixed, and do not take the it will need to be escalated, as an answer. Once I was told it would need to be escalated and could take a couple days. Look at your router, and if it is a REV A. Have it replaced because they are nothing but trouble. If you log into the router you should see forwarding rules for each STB or DVR.

  • Remote DVR Activation Failure but using VZ Router

    I tried to activate remote DVR but received the error:
    "Remote DVR is not supported on non-Verizon routers.
    Remote DVR service works only with the Verizon supplied routers and with no changes to the original setup. Since you are using your own router and/or firewall setup we cannot enable Remote DVR on your account."
    I am using Verizon supplied D-Link DI-624 router, have all original settings, but do MAC filtering (as suggested by VZ!)
    How can I activate the feature?

    Well I just went through the same trouble, but was using the first revision of Actiontec router. If you have TV service and use the old D-Link you must have a Motorola NIM-100 for your set top boxes to get all the IP features. When my TV was installed they swaped out the DI-624 for the Actiontec to supply the COAX on router. The D-Link will not work because the firmware does not support the remote access features. Contact tech support and they should send you a new router at no cost. They may want you to send back the old DI-624, or get charged $99. I just sent my old router back with their supplied UPS shipping label. When my Actiontec was installed with the TV the tech said forget that old router and left it with me. "Verizon does not use them anymore".
    If you have a NIM-100 and install the Actiontec or Westell router, you will need to remove the NIM-100. Once you get the new router installed, you more then likely will need to have them remove and re add your DVR to get the features enabled. Once my DVR configuration was rejected because of router issue, they had to do that to get the process of activation started again.

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

  • DVR Upgrade FAILURE. I have been trying for a MONTH!!

    I have been having issue after issue with Verizon, and am frustrated to the point of tears! Please HELP ME!!
    I have been trying to upgrade my DVR equipment and am ready to give up and SWITCH BACK TO DIRECTTV. Your website is so frustrating to find help! All the support links from the DVR Upgrade email return a "Bad Request" response and I have tried to speak with someone at support, and spent 2+ hours with no success. Nobody returns my calls for support and nobody has an answer. So, why am I still here?!  The support links on "My Account" page are also returning "Bad Request". I have tried in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 9.
    Everyone I speak to (online chat, over the phone, email) tell me the same thing : log into your account and request the upgrade, then you will receive an email with a link. Use the link and follow the instructions for th eupgrade!
    I received my upgrade email on February 15th, and have been banging my head against the wall ever since. It does not work. I even went so far as to forward the email and provide my personal login info to one of your tech support guys ( the only helpful one I have spoken to so far!!!) and he was so perplexed I found myself on a conference call with 5 tech support guys all working on it.
    There is something seriously wrong with your process, site, support and overall customer satisfaction and consumer products at Verizon.
    You are not helping me, the consumer, receive what I was promised, and I am ready to give up.

    YES!!!...TERRIBLE!!! I received the e-mail for my upgrade and it didnt work also, After about 3 calls to verizon, most with extended wait times, someone FINALLY got me my upgrade shipped to me. I hooked it up but no luck, Activation failed !!! another round of calls, ALL with too long wait itmes, and finally got someone through LIVE chat online to try and help, which they could not. So Verizon sent me ANOTHER 500GB STB which gave me the same authentication failed message...1 HOUR ON THE PHONE HOLDING ON A SUNDAY just to get another rep to tell me there are HUGE outages in upstate NY (Which I am not in, Im on Long Island which would not be upstate but thats another issue) and I have to call back tomorrow....Most if not all of my dealings with Verizon customer support over the 4 or 5 years I have been dealing with them have been EXTREMELY Frustrating and way to long. I still cannot get this 500 GB DVR working and I am not looking forward to tomorrows conversation. Needless to say they all have had me running all over the house resetting the router, unplugging the DVR, unhooking the coax cable from the DVR etc...etc...etc. 

  • I have these black boxes around my active pages, but I have voice-over disabled, any help?

    I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here, any help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Remote DVR - and Non ActionTech Router

    I would like to use remote dvr feature, however I do not (and would prefer not) to use the Actiontech Router.
    I have the ONT feeding my Netgear Gigbit Router over CAT5e cable. Connected ot a switch port on my router is a MOCA device to connect my COAX network to my DATA network.
    Please advise on what ports need to be forwarded to the DVR box, or what needs to take place for the remote dvr features to work with a non - actiontech router.
    If there router wasn't such a piece of junk (specifically the tiny NAT table, and slow throughput compared to others) than I wouldn't mind using it. I tried using it (and I play several online games) and it ALWAYS would cause me to lose internet connection after overrunning the NAT table.
    I would like remote dvr feature to work if at all possible.
    Thanks,
    Grant.

    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    This is correct. The Verizon supplied router has special firmware to make the proprietary features work. I tried every port forwarding configuration I could think of. If you find a way then let everyone know. If you get it working with the Verizon router and place your own router in place of the Verizon router, the web site will see it and disable the feature. If you keep attempting to do this, the feature will go away from Verizon central all together. Do not expect tech support assistance if they get it working and you break it with your router. That is my experience. I gave up the feature.

  • Is router reset really required for Remote DVR use?

    I am a new FiOS TV customer, but have been on FiOS internet for a couple of years. 
    I signed up for the Remote DVR service -- it seems to have some nice features with web access.  I then received an email from Verizon advising me that before the Remote service could be activated, I had to RESET my ActionTec router to factory defaults.
    I have made several changes to the defaults to accomodate my home network requirements -- settings which I would prefer not to change!
    Does anyone know which specific parameters/settings Verizon is looking for which, if set to the default values, would allow the Renote DVR service to work (or at least pass the remote test Verizon does before allowing service to be activated)?
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't know what settings Verizon may care about, but I can tell you that I activated the Remote DVR service and I did not do a thing to my router beforehand. It all just worked, although occasionally I do get an error message saying it can't contact the DVR, but if I wait a while it almost always works the next time. I do have some customization, but maybe not in the area the Remote DVR service might depend on, such as changing the IP range, using fixed IP addresses instead of DHCP, port usage, etc (I don't know that it depends on any or all of these, or lthers, just speculating).
    Remote test that Verizon does before activating? If they did that to mine I wasn't aware of it.
    Have you tried to just use it and it not work? Or maybe they have changed the procedure since I got it.
    Hope you get it working. I have found it very useful at times.

  • Remote dvr problem

    I have been unable to program my DVR remotely ever since I received it.  The message keeps telling me I don't have a Verizon router.    I have seen multiple questions about this in several google searches, but I do not see that it has been resolved.  The inability to actually talk to a person who has any knowledge at Verizon is sickening.  Ready to quit the whole thing and go back to DTV + TiVo.

    You will lose out of a lot of functionality by not using a Verizon router. If you are using a Verizon router and still receiving this message, please send me a private message so we can look further into it.

  • How do I download a movie to my phone?  when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'.  I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

    How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G?  When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'.  I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone.  thanks for any help you can give.

    I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
    Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an  option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

    Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

  • HT1349 Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes.  I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use.  Is there a way to delete or see what the others are?  Please help!

    Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes.  I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use and I no longer have as they crashed.  Is there a way to delete or see what the other computers are so that I can go in and delete them?  I've tried to email Apple directly but apparently I need my hardware # and obviously I do not have that # since I don't have the equipment any longer.  Any help is greatly appreicated.  I am trying to add another computer and it won't allow me to as they say I'm at my limit.  Please help!

    Sure.
    Just open up iTunes on your computer -> Go to the iTunes Store -> Click your e- maill address (top right corner of the window) -> Type in your password for your Apple ID -> Under Computer Authorisations (underneath your Apple ID account balance and address) -> Press 'Deauthorise All'
    -> This will deauthorise all computers and devices from your iTunes account -> you then need to re- authorise any computers/ devices you would like to use with your Apple ID for iTunes content -> to do this, select the Store tab along the menu at the top (where 'File', 'Edit', 'View' etc..... are) -> Then click 'Authorise this Computer' -> Type in your Apple ID -> Voila!
    For any iOS devices (non- computers) you wish to re- authorise, these will automatically do so when you go to play iTunes content, download an app or anything like that on those devices!
    Hope this helps!

  • My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK
