Strange missing channel prob with FIOS + Cablecard + Tivo HD

I have a Tivo HD, and just had FIOS TV (and internet and phone) installed. Everything seems to work fine, except that some of the Extreme HD channels don't work. If you tune to them, you get a black screen and no audio, but no message saying "Channel not available; contact your cable provider" or whatever.
Tivo tech support went through the Cablecard diagnostics and found that on the channels that are black, the cards are reporting "NOT_SUBSCRIBED" under the Conditional Access section. If I tune to a channel I get, the status changes to "SUBSCRIBED."
The odd thing is, it's a subset of the Extreme HD tier that is missing. For example, I get Disney HD, but not Bravo HD. All of the premium channels (HBO, Starz, Showtime) are working fine. I am subscribed to Extreme HD, and tech support has verified that it's showing as subscribed in their system.
Both cards have exactly the same set of channels working and non-working. Tech support has re-hit the cards multiple times, and reloaded them, and deactivated and reactivated them. I've removed and replaced the cards several times, and rebooted the Tivo several times. I've tried running the Tivo with just one card, and checked the tuning separately on each card. Both cards have exactly the same issue: some channels that I supposedly am subscribed to are showing as "NOT_SUBSCRIBED" when I check the cablecard diagnostic output. And those channels show a black screen and no audio when I tune to them.
I don't have (as far as I can tell) the pixelization problems that others have reported on Tivos - on the channels I get, the picture is stellar. I don't have any uncorrected errors on the channels I'm not getting (or the ones I'm getting). For the heck of it, I put a 10db attentuator inline on the cable, but it didn't appear to affect anything.
Any thoughts?

Hi Don,
This sounds a little like my problem - did you ever get yours resolved? If so, how did yo resolve it?
On another forum, he indicated that his problem was resolved.
As he found, FiOS HD Extreme actually consists of several packages that the customer service rep must enable on your account.  I don't recall exactly what they are, but it is something like HD locals, Premiere, Sports, and/or Extreme.  All must be enabled on your account to get all channels in the Extreme package.  In his case, the representative forgot to enable Premiere so he did not get a large block of HD channels on any box.
He scheduled a service call and luckily for him, he got a competant individual that understood the problem -- and how to communicate it to a rep over the phone -- without having to swap out any equipment.

  • Recording fios tv to DVD recorder with tivo/fios cablecard

    ok this post is for my dad....and if ur thinking why the hack does he want a dvd recorder when they already have a tivo...don't ask my dad is kinda weird he still "tapes" shows on VHS tapes using vcr, and tapes radio shows on cassettes....then again he also still pyas his bills with a pen, a check and the us postal service.....
    anyway, I didn't know much about the world of dvd recorders before a couple days ago, so I have a few questions before and if I actually decide to get him one.
    Question 1: we currently have an HD TV with an HD tivo connected and a multistream verizon fios cablecard. My question is regarding copyright limitations....what prevents you from just recording any tv program onto dvd, as you still can onto a VHS? and what percentage of the channels/shows have this protection? like would he only be able to record from the original 12 or so broadcast channels? this is my main concern....he watched a lot of the sports channels like espn espn2 golf channel nbatv etc....
    Question 2: also, when doing my research I thought of another benefit a dvd recorder may have. I have been putting all the family home videos which are on vhs onto dvd, but it's a bit of a process. I use an external usb capture device made by Hauppage hooked up to the VCR then the computer captures it realtime and generates an mpeg video file on my hard drive, THEN I have to spend the 1 or 2 hours it takes to convert to DVD format and burn with Nero so it can be played on a regular DVD player......so....question being....
    can a standalone DVD recorder hook up to a VCR to transfer video direct to a DVD, or do you have to buy a DVD recorder with a built in VHS deck?
     Question 3: oh and someone once told me that you can only play the recorded DVD's on the recorder, and not other regular DVD players...I couldn't believe this was actually true...but was he right?
    TIA!

    Answers:
    Question 1: if the DVD recorder is connected to the TIVO there shouldn't be anything prohibiting him from recording. The signal sent out from the TIVO is an unencrypted feed that can be processed by anything (TV, VCR, DVD recorder, ETC). As long as theres no restrictions within the DVD recorder itself, you should be fine to record anything. This also means you have to record realtime (press play on TIVO and record on the DVD recorder and wait the amount of time for the event to end before pressing stop)
    Question 2: You would need to talk to the tech support for your DVD recorder. Its going to depend on what types of video streams and formats it will accept as a source
    Question 3nce again this is a question for the DVD recorder tech support, not Verizon. It depends on the file format that the recorder saevs the file as. Not only that, but different players also can read different formats. So you have to take a look at the recorder and the dvd play back device

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

    So you are saying that you followed all of the steps in the support document for problems with connection, including removing and reinstalling iTunes? You do not say what you have tried, so it is hard to make recommendations. If this is the case, then you have tried resolving driver issues? What if you go to Device Manager and look for the iPhone. You should be able to click on it and see about drivers. You can update/reinstall the device driver.

  • Strange prob with calander

    I m facing really strange prob with calendar --- it is showing all the days of the March 1st to 31st correct but on the top in place of month it is showing February 2008 instead of March 2008. How can Feb has 31 days. I hv checked all the other settings.
    This is happening in every month i.e it is showing the previous months name.
    PLS HELP.

    The standard troubleshooting procedures for the phone are to power the phone off/on. If that doesn't correct the issue, then do a reset. This is accomplished by holding down the home buttong and the sleep/wake button until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons. Ignore the slide to turn off message. If that does not correct the issue, then connect to iTunes and restore the phone.
    Hope these help you.

  • Strange issue with FiOS Internet (Multiple devices)

    I have 2 laptops and one mobile phone having wifi capibility. One of my laptops works absolutely fine with FiOS wifi internet. My other laptop started giving me troubles since yesterday and refused to open any website and if it opened then it was taking lot of time to load the website.
    Even my wifi enabled phone which was connecting fine with the router refuses to connect to it now.
    What seems to be the issue ?
    I even RESET the router.

    Ok so i contacted the verizon customer care and they have told they will send a new modem / router and i can send them back the old one. Hopefully this should solve the issue. Lets see how it goes.

  • FIOS And TIVO Series # and Cable Cards

    I recently lost one tuner on my series 3 TIVO HD.  Asked for re-activation and eventually a new cable card to restore the lost tuner.  After the second visit I had nothing on either tuner.  Techs claim they have never been trained on cable cards, inventory is not controlled so they know good ones from bad ones, there is no way to test a cable card in their shops.  After and extended discussion and a visit by two senior techs and a supervisor I got back a few channels on one tuner.  I get only locals up to channel 50, USA.  I get the locals in both SD and HD so I know the tuner is working. 
    I went to the Tivo Community Bulletin Board to see if anyone else had this problem.  I found that on December 4, 2009 in Western New York TIVO owners with cable cards lost all channels above 50.  This was resolved in about one week and was clearly a back office problem with FIOS software used to authorize the cards.  I thought I could go to the national FIOS support center and get my problem fixed in the same way since this appears to be an identical problem.  NO SURPRISE. 
    Verizon national FIOS technical support refused to investigate the problem or solution with Western New York.  The one and only thing the tesch would do was to order another truck roll without any attempt to contact their center in New York.  At one point he said he did not have the telephone number and could not look it up (Verizon is one of  the largest phone companies in the country and they have no way to find an internal number in the same FIOS support organization??   
    I have a lot of respect for the techs who try to solve problems (not this one) and I expect this will be resolved once I speak to a supervisor, but why doesn't Verizon provide adequate support and training to their techs on TIVO and cable cards.  I suppose they just want to continue to push their own HD STB by making it so hard to use anything else that you eventually just give up. 
    In my humble opinion Verizon, along with the other cable providers so abuse the process of installing third party equipment that they should be prohibited form selling or renting equipment.  They should provide only the service and equipment, as was the case with ATT, should be divorced from service.  That process revolutionized phone service and it could do the same for television service. 

    well without a lot of reports from other customers in your area, they are going by the assumption that it is not an outage, and that there is no sizeable amount of customers experiencing the same issue, so they are treating it as an individual case basis.   You're right the Tech's don't have a lot of training on tivo's because they aren't supported items.  They rely on tivo technical support to support their own product.   The cable cards are a simple thing to verizon.  make sure they are activated - possibly send you a new one if their is suspicion that the cable card is bad, and 'possibly' a field tech.  field tech's aren't a whole lot of good as you have come to experience, because they are not tivo technicians. they are fios technicians and they support their own product.   
    I would reach out to the tivo bulletin boards and post your issue there, and see if there is a consensus as to what the problem is, maybe one of them have had a similiar issue.  Please remember that absent any other reports in your area, that verizon can't consider it a back end thing, if it were it would naturally affect multiple tivo customers in an identical fashion.  
    Is it possible it's the tivo box itself?  tivo's go bad just like any other piece of hardware.   
    Also keep an eye on this forum post of yours, there are others here with tivo's that have a good deal of experience, and may have ran into the problem themselves,   they may be coming along and reading the posts soon I would hope.  
    another great resource is the dslreports.com forum for issues like this.
    give them a shot too.  http://www.dslreports.com/forum/vzfiostv
    sorry about all your trouble, but for the record, if your cards only get channels upto 50 it sounds like a reactivation of those cable cards would correct it.    I can imagine that if you have talked to a supervisor and a few technicians that they would have tried that, but if you are unsure that they did, I would call back in to tech support again and ask them if they can deactivate and reactivate the cards.      normally when a verizon dvr gets 1-50, it is that same issue.   if they haven't replaced the cable cards, I would pursue that, if the reactivations don't help.

  • Airport connection probs with Mac Pro and 10.4.8  too.

    This prob is not just related to iMacs or MacBooks as published in the knowledge base doc. I have exactly the same prob with my 2.66 GHz Mac Pro. I have to reconnect this beast to my wlan router manually every time.
    PLZ Apple fix this asap!

    I had a similar problem which I've fixed!
    I have four machines here which can connect to my Netgear DG834N via Aiport. (I say can because they normally connect via ethernet.) My MacBook Pro always used to be fine when connected wirelessly but recently, not aware of any changes I've made, it connects for about 10 seconds then disconnects. All other machines are fine and hold the connection.
    This is what I tried before finding my solution:
    1) Deleted all references to the network in the keychain and remade them.
    2) Created another user to try
    3) Changed channels on the router even though I can't see any neighbour's networks.
    4) Made sure computer and router were up to date with firmware/software.
    I'm assuming that it has to be a computer problem as the PowerMac, iMac and iPod Touch have no issues at all. However, the cure was in the router.
    I run with SSID broadcast turned off, WPA2 encryption and MAC address filtering. Allowing broadcast of the SSID cures my problem. Turn it off and the computer connects then drops it ten seconds later. Turn broadcast on and it maintains the connection. I've tried it all afternoon, leaving it connected for about 30 minutes at a time before turning SSID broadcast off again. Works every time! Broadcast SSID - fine, no broadcast - drops after ten seconds.
    Now, if only I knew why! And why only the laptop?

  • ACE HTTP Probe with regex

    ACE HTTP Probe with regex
    Hi,
    I'm trying to setup a HTTP probe with expected string rather then a code (config below). I do a GET for the page then a search for a string in the response however it's not working, as probe appears as failed.
    I've tested the connection to the server by using telneting and then looking at the page displayed to make sure the string I want to match is in the response.
    probe http HTTP-PROBE
    port 43050
    interval 30

    passdetect count 1
    request method get url /action=help
    open 43050
    expect regex action=help
    Q. Is there anything wrong with this configuration and what I'm trying to achive?
    Thanks,
    Pritesh

    Use "expect status" under probe config. expect regex doesnt work if expect status is not configured.
    expect regex work flawlessly with static pages. It doesnt work all the time with dynamic pages.
    Specially if "content-length" header is missing from Server response.
    Hope it helps

  • What Channel (Other Then Movie Channels) Come with The Fully Loaded Entertainment Package?

    I currently have Verizon FiOS Prime TV (now known as preferred) along with 75/75 internet with the fully loaded entertainment package. I receive many channels in my package that are not listed under the Prime package. These include NFL Network, GSN, Nat Geo, OWN, NBA TV, Golf Channel, FXX, and Destination Network. Each of these channels are listed individually under "My Current Plan Details" under the My FiOS TV Plan section of the website. I believe the reason I receive these is because I subscribe to the fully loaded entertainment package. Could anyone confirm that these channels come with the fully loaded entertainment package when you are subscribed to the preferred package as well? These are not advertised as being included with the package, but that is the only thing I can think of why they would be included in my channel line up. Thanks!

    Technically, none of those are my package. I have FiOS Prime which is no longer available. However, it is exactly the same as FIOS Preferred aside from 1-2 channel differences.  
    I have not heard of those stations being included w/ the fully loaded entertainment package either. I have searched other forums with this questions and it seems like others are also given these extra channels as long as they have the Fully Loaded Entertainment package on their bill. Like I said, each of those channels is actually listed out on my account separately. I guess I could cancel the fully loaded package and then add it again to see if they disappear/reappear. Not sure I want to take that chance though. 
    As for it being a fluke, it doubt that. I've been a FiOS customer for 6 years and I've had the channels listed this way for the past 2. The reason I am asking about it now is because the "New Customer" deals are so much better then what I am getting, I am thinking of cancelling for a bit and then renewing, but I want to see which package I would need to order.

  • Missing channels on Apple TV

    Apple TV Model:A1469
    Apple TV software: 7.0.2 (6915) I live in Brazil and recently bought a third generation Apple TV.
    After setting up all the wifi / log-ins etc. I started browsing and thought that the available channels were a bit limited just a load of mainstream movies, Netflix, a few other strange ones and a load of USA based sport channels.
    Then I was at a friend's place and he showed me that he had a load more options including channels like ABC and HBO (on the main menu) on his than mine and he has exactly the same model and OS version!  
    Channels available on mine are (in alphabetical order): 
    Bloomberg
    Crackle
    Crunchyroll
    Dailymotion
    Esporte Interativo
    Flickr
    icloud photos
    imovie theatre
    KORTV
    MLB.TV

    Netflix
    NFL Now
    NHL
    Podcasts
    Qello Concerts
    Radio
    Trailers
    Vevo
    Vimeo
    WSJ Live
    WWE Network
    YouTube It really doesn’t make any sense that there should be a whole lot missing, especially as one has to pay for them. It’s like a shop that doesn’t want to show what it’s selling.....ridiculous!!!  
    I have also already tried:
    deleting the log-in / user and reconfiguring from scratch.
    Choosing a different region in settings > Menu > General > Region (tried both UK and USA).
    Settings > Menu > General > Region Format (no change)
    Settings > Menu > General > Software update (up to date)
    Settings > Menu > General > reset (this reconfigures it to factory default and one has to re-set up all the log-ins etc.).
    Restart (doesn’t do anything, just a general restart). So I would really appreciate some info about this and if anyone knows of a solution or what would cause this.

    Perhaps, but it has the advantage of being true. Also, if you do not have a cable or satellite account that already gets some of those "missing" channels, hacking will not do you any good. They need to be verified to use.

  • Any leads on bidirectional amps that work with FIOS?

    I recently added a TV in my house, and splitting the signal caused my primary TV to begin pixellating on a number of channels (e.g. ESPNHD), and completely drop out on others (e.g. Sprout). Adding a (so-called) bidirectional amplifier to the line fixed this issue, but at the expense of the program guide and VOD features - come to find out it's not really bidirectional with FIOS' technology. I don't use VOD that much (although my wife kind of likes it), but we *really* use the program guide.
    Does anyone know of a bidirectional amp that *does* work with FIOS signals? My understanding is that FIOS' reverse signal goes out at >1 GHz, and most bidirectional amps cut off in the low MHz range (5-42 IIRC). I'd also appreciate other thoughts on how to remedy this issue. I'm driving 2 STBs, 2 digital TV's and my internet connection off the FIOS connection.

    If your FiOS signal is too weak, that suggests to me that there is an issue with your installation (ex: defective splitter) or the cable connections.  Most picture problems on FiOS are due to the signal being too strong, not too weak.  FiOS ONTs output at anywhere from +16 to +24dB (or thereabouts), depending on the model.  Many TVs, STBs, and DVRs will exhibit dropped frames or intermittent pixelization with signals much higher than +6dB.  IIRC, the recommended operating range for Motorola STBs is roughly -6 to +6 dB.
    When you consider that the typical splitter attenuates a signal by -3dB to -5dB, it's not clear to me how your installation got from +16 to +24dB at the ONT, to sufficiently below -6dB so as to cause problems for the Motorola box.
    I have one of the original Motorola 610 ONTs.  My Motorola DVR exhibited occasional pixelization and frequent stutter (dropped frames) on some channels until my FiOS signal was attenuated (reduced) by 7dB, through an added splitter and -3dB attenuator.  I've since replaced the -3dB attenuator with a -10dB attenuator (for a total -16dB to -18dB after splitters), as necessary to eliminate pixelization on my TivoHD, which is more sensitive than the Motorola box.

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Prob. with iTunes, Phone won't shut off.  Tks.

    3GS with 6.1.3 Prob. with iTunes.  When I want to close out of iTunes after a Podcast the App will not close out when I hit Home. All other Apps shut down, only prob. is with iTunes.  Cant turn phone off goes back ti iTunes when turned on again.  Tks.

    I hope the previous replies are wrong. It was my understanding that even when Match is turned off in iTunes, music previously matched or uploaded to iCloud will stay there, associated with my Apple ID, even through a cold boot etc. If you want to remove songs from iCloud, but keep them locally, do this:
    1. Click "Store" in the iTunes top Menu
    2. Select "Turn on iTunes Match" (if it isn't already turned on)
    3. Close iTunes.
    4. Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes - this will prompt you to choose or create a (new, locally empty) Library in a different folder from your main Library.
    5. Now you should see ONLY music that is stored in iCloud.
    6. Delete them all. iTunes will show a checkbox or button for you to click to delete the selected items from iCloud.
    7. Turn off iTunes Match (see #1)
    8. Restart iTunes with the Shift key again, so you can get back to your main Library - with Match turned off.

  • Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line

    Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line through it and it won't solo?
    How'd it happen and how do you get rid of it?
    Thanks!

    Try This----From the Manual
    Logic Pro, Express: Solo Safe mode may not remain disabled for a particular channel strip
    Symptoms
    In certain projects, "Solo Safe" mode for a channel strip may enable each time you load the project, even after you disable it and save the project.
    Resolution
    When a channel strip in Logic is "Solo Safe", it remains audible, even when other channel strips are soloed. Solo Safe is indicated by a diagonal red line through the solo button on a channel strip.
    You can manually toggle the solo safe status of a channel strip by Control-clicking its solo button. There are times when you may find that a particular audio channel strip in a project reverts to solo safe mode when you load the project, even after you manually disable solo safe. Here is why that may happen and steps you can take to prevent it from occurring.
    A Logic project contains a special audio channel strip used for pre-listening to audio in the Sample Edit window, Audio Bin, and Loop Browser. When you create a Logic project from one of the factory templates, this channel strip is assigned to "Audio 256". This channel strip stays in solo safe mode so that you can always preview audio. The image below shows the channel strip for a new, empty project.
    If there is no audio channel strip in a project assigned to "Audio 256", Logic will use the highest-numbered available audio channel for pre-listening. When the project is loaded, that channel strip will be put into solo safe mode. You may find this happens in older projects that you open in Logic 8, or in cases where you have deleted the "Audio 256" channel strip in a Logic 8 project. To prevent this from affecting channel strips you are using in a project's arrangement, follow these steps:
    Choose Window > Environment.
    From the Environment window menu, choose New > Channel Strip > Auxiliary. A channel strip will appear in the environment.
    Select the channel strip. It will highlight.
    In the Device parameter box in the upper left of the Environment window, click the arrows to the right of "Channel" and choose Audio > Audio 256 from the menu.
