Setting up Fios Remote

I recently bought a new television set. I want to be able to use my Fios remote to control the television. I am able to change the channels with the Fios remote but I need the remote that came with the television to control the volume. The television is a Coby.

You can program the remote to interact with your Coby television. The programming instructions can be found HERE

    I thought there might be a enter button once you set the size you want. That is mainly what I am asking if you have to enter or set the choice we make.
    So you are wondering how to make the size change "permanent" for a channel? If so, no, there is no way. If you change the channel the screen size reverts to normal on the new channel, and if you go back to the one where you had set the size it is back to normal there also.

  • What can the FIOS remote do?

    My Comcast remote not only turned my TV on/off, volume, but got me into the TV menu to change input from cable to Wii to DVD. I can't get my FIOS HD remote to do this. Is this something it should do? I am having to use my TV remote to get into it's menu to switch to DVD or Wii. So to watch a DVD we have to use 3 remotes...TV, DVD and receiver. I've hunted online and it appears the remote may only turn TV on/off and do volume, not anything more related to the TV. It's a 1 yr old Samsung LCD/HD so it's not something old and out of date. There also doesn't seem to be a code to program the FIOS remote to our Sylvania LCD TV. Seems like since we're paying more per month for the FIOS remotes than the Comcast they should work better, not worse.

    It depends on the brand of TV and DVD you have, how new they are, and what codes you have set in the remote for those devices. For example, I have a 4 year old Sony LCD and Sony DVD and my Verizon remote controls them both just fine.
    It may be counterintuitive, but the newer the TV and DVD you have, I suspect the less likely the Verizon remote is to control them. That is because the remote has been available for several years, and as far as I know there is no way for Verizon or you to update the codes in them. So whatever it had when you got it is what you have available. Newer TVs and DVDs may use newer codes that are not in the remote.
    However, don't give up yet. First, for most TV and DVD brands, there are multiple device codes listed. Even if you find one that turns the device on and off, there may be another code that does that and some other things, like control the input selection on the TV. So be sure you try all of the known codes for your brands, if you have not already done so. Here are links to Verizon web pages for TV and DVD players:
    TV: http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Remote%20Controls/SetUp/QuestionsOne/122830.htm
    DVD: http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Remote%20Controls/SetUp/QuestionsOne/122859.htm
    Some people have found some additional codes that will work for certain manufacturer's devices that are not listed here, I don't know what they are since I haven't needed them, but you can do some Google searches and probably find them.
    Now, to the specific issue of controlling the input on your TV; have you used the A/V (Input) button (bottom left) on the remote to try to change the input? If not, do so, mine works for me on my Sony. Be sure to hit the TV button first before hitting the A/V button, because the signal is sent to the last device selected, which is usually the STB.
    I hope this helps. If you do find some codes or buttons that do work, be sure to report back with that info so others can benefit from you knowledge.

  • FiOS Remote App on IPhone

    I have been trying to get the FiOS Remote app to work, but it keeps giving me problems with the sign on.  I don't think my sign on is the issue.
    My signon works for ...
    1. My FiOS app - in which I can pull my account information
    2. the Verizon mobile website - in which I can login and see all my information
    Within the My FiOS app when I try to manage my DVR, it launches the FiOS remote app.  This app won't let me sign in.  I constantly get the "Sign In Error" User ID or Password is invalid.  Please try again."
    I know this error is erroneous because of my ability to login everywhere else.
    Please advise on what I can do next.

    Hi, I know that app requires that you are connected to the wifi in your home and not on the iphone's 3g.  If you have verified that you are on the Actiontec WiFI (not a second router's wifi) and that your login is correct at all those sites, then you might need to email the dev from the apple store.  It gives you a link to email them there.

  • IPhone "FIOS remote" app update caused 'Invalid User Credential'

    Hey there,
    I recently updated my "FIOS remote" app on my iPhone and started getting 'Invalid User Credential' when checking my DVR in the app or the TV listings, also wasnt able to submit feedback.
    TheAbout screen says I'm using "Verizon FIOS mobile remote version 3.1.56 build number 16"
    I called Verizon support who helped me.
    The fix:  Open a browser and go to www.verizon.com/fiostv/web and logon. 
    Feedback in the app still doesn't work so I thought I'd post this here for others.  By the way, I think a 100 character limit is too small for feedback.

  • New DVR and FiOS remote tablet access

    I had to get a replacement DVR recently (bad hard drive). All works well except I can't access the DVR details or program the box through the fios remote app on my tablet. It worked fine for the old box. Also, on the app, the old box still shows up.
    I can log onto my account at Verizon. Com and I can program, see what's recorded on the new DVR  etc.., but again the old box shows up as the default DVR and I need to always choose the new one on a drop down box for things to work. Again, this is on the Verizon. Com website through the DVR manager.
    How do I get rid of the old box on the app. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app bit to no avail. Again, the problem is the app, which I would like to get to work with the new DVR.

    Ok, I found the problem on the FiOS app. There is a button that can switch which box doors the recording. So I now can see what I'd on the new DVR. But still, not sure how to delete the old box from the list

  • FIOS Remote app and available space on DVR

    On the newest version of the iphone FIO Remote DVR app I am no longer able to find the amount of space I have used/have available on the DVR.  Can this still be found on the new version?  If this feature has in fact been removed I will take your recommendation and contribute to the Idea Exchange.  Is there in fact a support channel for the app via phone, email or chat?

  • Fios remote control and actor info

    When I push info on my remote control it only gives me a description of the movie or show, but it doesn't tell me who the artists are.  This was one feature I liked from my previous service which was Direct TV.  Does anyone know if such a feature is available on the FIOS remote control??

    How many times are you pressing the Info button? If you press it a second time you will usually get more information, and if the info will not fit completely in that display a third push of the info button will get you everything that FiOS has available. It is not always as complete as you would like but my experience is that it generally is now fairly good (much better than several years ago).

  • Fios remote app on android wifi only devices?

    So many people these days have a tablet. Some ipad, some android. I Dont know how this topic1 applies on ipad because i do not have one.
    But i have an android tablet which is wifi only. The fios remote app for android is wifi only. I cannot use it on my phone unless i am connected to wifi.
    So why am i asked for the last 4 digits of my phone number?
    Unless someone has a workaround for this, i cannot use the app. And to me it would be pretty cool to use this tablet as a remote. Plus i could show my pictures on tv.(assuming that function is stil there)

  • I'm ready to go back to Comcast just because of this lousy FIOS remote

    This FIOS remote for my HD box is driving me up a wall. I replaced the batteries with Duracells three times in the last month. The remote is so sluggish it's pathetic.Once I'm in a menu screen I find it almost impossible to get back to my tv screen.I hit the buttons and have to wait 3 seconds or more for a response. My box is only a feet from where I'm sitting and it's not blocked or behind glass. Any tips to get the remote to be faster? Thanks.

    No many other people have commented on the sluggish remotes also!
    Really? I have multiple FiOS remotes and have never had a problem with any of them. Sluggish or otherwise. I had a DVR that needed replacing because it was sluggish and an STB that died, but the remotes have been very solid. And of all the many threads about FiOS here or at DSLReports or AVS Forum, I can't recall seeing many "Bad Remote" threads. You should try another one. Though to switch providers because of a - possibly - bad remote seems a bit drastic, no?

    Try ( alt + cmd + esc ).  Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit".

  • What is easiest way to set up a remote network between countries online?

    What is easiest way to set up a remote network between countries online?
    My main Mac is in England, UK and I'm spending time in the USA with my Mac laptop for 3 months. I'm in the USA right now, but neighbour in the UK has keys to my apartment so he can go in there and follow my instructions.
    How can I access my Mac back in England via my Mac laptop in the USA as there are files on my UK computer that I need to transfer back/forth while I'm here in America.
    I know there are things like Log-me-In as in per link below, but I don't think you need things like this on the Mac do you, isn't there an easy way to set something like this up via the Mac's OS?

    Thanks a ton all.

    Is there any chance of being able to set up and use something such as
    the Apple Remote Desktop in these computers? Sure, there is a matter
    of setting up the computer on the far end, including any update to the OS
    and having the Apple Remote Desktop client side ready and able.
    And then having (owning) the ARD software within the computer you have
    there while traveling so as to contact and control the remote computer.
    This should be capable of allowing you to move files between the Macs
    but may be cumbersome without planning ahead; before traveling away.

  • FIOS remote can turn TV off but not on? (Westinghouse LCD TV)

    Westinghouse model  CW26S3CW 26" LCD HDTV.  Weirdest thing happening and that is I am able to get the FIOS remote to do everything but turn the TV on.  I have contacted Westinghouse and they are saying to use the Sanyo or Samsung codes but they don't work. I have different types of FIOS remotes and have tried them all to no avail.  I'm just dumbfounded how a FIOS remote can turn the TV off but not on.... Westinghouse must have some real whacked out technology that on and off are done differently.  Anybody have a solution to this problem?

    I'm having this problem, started about a week ago.  I tried a factory reset and it did not help.  I have model 46G300U1.  Unplugging the TV is the only way that I know it will stay off.  
    TV will randomly turn itself back on. It does not always happen after a few seconds.  For example, last night I turned off the TV and sat in the same room for a few minutes and it did not turn back on.  However, when I checked this morning, it was back on.
    I'm running the latest firmware.
