Suggestions for Fios in the New Year

Question

I posted this over on DSL reports too, but figured this was a good place to make the suggestions as well.  I'd love some reaction from the folks who work at Fios. 
1. Ditch FYI and find someone better to provide the guide data.
2. Add NASA-TV.  NASA-TV is now starting to provide some programming in HD and I think it would be a big draw.
3. Create a new category of english language news channels from around the world.  I'd love to get news from CBC, Sky News and several others.  (you can find a bunch of them on http://www.livenewscameras.com)
4. Make FSN provide a full-time HD feed.  Right now, it goes to an SD test pattern when HD programming is not on the air.  There's no reason they couldn't offer all the FSN programming on this channel with the side bars when HD is not on. 
5. Create a channel to advertise the latest features and programming on Fios.  I say this because we so often have to find out things here on this forum.  It would be nice if they'd tell us directly.  I'm not sure what their original idea for Fios 1 was, but it has yet to be rolled out to most markets. Maybe they could make channel 1 just such a channel. 
6. Fix the message light on the set top box.  The light never comes on when there's a message in the message center.  It always did when I had comcast.  I can't believe they can't figure out how to fix this. 
7. Streamline their websites.  In looking up information from Verizon regarding Fios, I have found I usually have to look at 3 or 4 websites to get it all.  There should be one website you go to for all your needs when you sign up with Fios.  I'm sure they'll tell you that's the case - but that has not been my experience.  There are a lot of good features of Fios that are online. (games, NFL network stuff, the ESPN360 access, etc)  They need to advertise this better.  It'll draw and keep subscribers if they do. 
8. Add an HD only tier.  Give people who want it the option of only watching HD programming for much less than they pay for the full Fios service. It would be pretty simple, if Fios has an HD channel, you get it on this tier.  That would include all the movie channels.  It would not include the NHL center ice channel or some of the other pay per view things.  Offer 100+ HD channels for 50-75 bucks or so and I think you would get quite a few takers even if that meant they couldn't get any SD programming. 

Answer 1

1. Ditch FYI and find someone better to provide the guide data.
I can only say that a lot of the info from ESPN this past weekend was totally invalid.
2. Add NASA-TV.  NASA-TV is now starting to provide some programming in HD and I think it would be a big draw.
OH YEAH I'm ALL FOR THIS
3. Create a new category of english language news channels from around the world.  I'd love to get news from CBC, Sky News and several others.  (you can find a bunch of them on http://www.livenewscameras.com)
4. Make FSN provide a full-time HD feed.  Right now, it goes to an SD test pattern when HD programming is not on the air.  There's no reason they couldn't offer all the FSN programming on this channel with the side bars when HD is not on. 
Any HD feed any provider gets is from the actual channel so if they aren't broadcasting in it we won't get it. They also have to send it to us so that we can put it on the channel.
5. Create a channel to advertise the latest features and programming on Fios.  I say this because we so often have to find out things here on this forum.  It would be nice if they'd tell us directly.  I'm not sure what their original idea for Fios 1 was, but it has yet to be rolled out to most markets.

I am going to look into this.
6. Fix the message light on the set top box.  The light never comes on when there's a message in the message center.  It always did when I had comcast.  I can't believe they can't figure out how to fix this. 
I just go into the message box and remove the messages however if they are still there I'd try a powercycle. I don't have this problem on any box at my house
7. Streamline their websites.  In looking up information from Verizon regarding Fios, I have found I usually have to look at 3 or 4 websites to get it all.  There should be one website you go to for all your needs when you sign up with Fios.  I'm sure they'll tell you that's the case - but that has not been my experience.  There are a lot of good features of Fios that are online.

I'm gonna say yes in regards to this but I think the services is what will keep subscribers the most and could keep more if they were steamline I'm a Yes/eh on this one.
8. Add an HD only tier.  Give people who want it the option of only watching HD programming for much less than they pay for the full Fios service. It would be pretty simple, if Fios has an HD channel, you get it on this tier.  That would include all the movie channels.  It would not include the NHL center ice channel or some of the other pay per view things.  Offer 100+ HD channels for 50-75 bucks or so and I think you would get quite a few takers even if that meant they couldn't get any SD programming. 
I'd Prefer not to pay extra for HD content and have it provided automatically
Kudos! Thanks!
