Switching to FIOS, want the new high-capacity DVR. How can I guarantee getting one?

After 12 years I have to say goodbye to Dish because my old oaks are getting too tall and too wide and I don't have a clean line of sight...so I'm switching to FiOS.  I've gotten used to the best DVR in the industry, and I understand that there are new high capacity DVRs for FiOS that rival the Dish DVR's capacity.  How can I guarantee that when I order FiOS I'll get one?

You can't . Its whatever is put on the truck that morning. HOWEVER, you can do what I did and refuse the install. My installer was nice enough to go back to the office and get one for me. It is outgrageous to offer the older smaller equipment to new customers.

    Downgrading is not supported.
    Here are some basic troubloeshooting tips:
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
      - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
    If you want to contact Apple directly, call 1-800-MYAPPLE (1-800-692-7753), or go to getsupport.apple.com. 
    Don't waste your time asking for a downgrade of the iOS.  That's not an option.

  • I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it.  I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

    Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
    There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
    The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
    Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

    The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • Did bug fix for add-ons after downloading new version. FB games do not work & add-ons still gone. I want the old version back. How can I do this?

    Downloaded version 7 today. All add-ons are gone, not disabled, but gone. The bug fix offered in this instance tells me to go look for updates. I have, and I'm totally up to date, so now I don't know what to do. The add-ons are still gone, and my games in FB are also malfunctioning. I click on a button in the game and nothing happens. I can't even play them like this. I have playing all morning, and this only happened AFTER I updated to the latest Firefox browser 7. I want the old version back, but cannot figure out a way to do this. I am mad right now and want the option to go back to the old version. If I can't get it, I guess I'll go back to IE. Thanks....

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After downloading the new update for Firefox I can no longer get Firefox to respond. I can only get it to respond in safe mode. Why?

    After downloading the new update to Firefox I cannot get Firefox to respond. The only way I can use Firefox is in Safe Mode.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to new version of Firefox

    Cannot believe NO ONE from Firefox is responding to this issue; particularly since I don't seem to be the only one with the problem!!!!

  • The new iphone update *****. How can I uninstall it?

    The iOS7.0.2 update is terrible.
    The icons for the built- in apps changed. I can think of no good reason for this. It's now more difficult to find what I am looking for as I don't recognize the app icons. The background in the phone app is now gone so there is no contrast between the address book info and the screen making the info harder to read. It looks like apple just made the cosmetic changes because they got bored. There was no intelligent thought put into the changes.
    I used to be able to open the notification center with a quick flick down but now the notification center only comes down halfway. It now takes a much more deliberate downward swipe to open.
    The task bar of open apps (or whatever they call it) is bigger and clunkier. It used to be simple and quick. Somehow apple found a way to ruin a good thing.
    If they are going to make stupid changes part of an update then they should add them as options in the Settings, such as "Use the simple and fast interface or use the new more difficult, hard to read interface that we thought would look cool."
    Is there any way to uninstall this horrible update?

    Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

  • I've got OSX 10.5.8 and have just got the new i phone 5. how can i upgrade to an OS that enables me to use the latest version of i tunes?

    how do i upgrade my OSX 10.5.8 so i can use my i phone bloody 5???

    First step is upgrade to Snow Leopard, 10.6, by calling Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and order the SL DVD for $20.  Then update on-line via software update to 10.6.8.  If you want to go further, to Lion, you can purchase a download code for $20 from that same number and download 10.7.5, or go directly to the Mac App Store and purchase/download 10.8.2 provided your computer is on the compatible hardware list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs

  • I've copied all of my iTune's library music  from my PC to my new mac. Now how can my I get my iPhone to sync with this new iTunes?

    I did the "home sharing" to get all of my music from my PC to my new mac (as told by a apple worker). Then I copied all of my music and playlists from the shared library to my actually itunes library. Now I don't know how to sync my iPhone up to this computer..? I've tried and it'll say it's syncing but the new song i bought to test it out won't show up on my phone.

    When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
        With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
        If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
        Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

    Whenever your upgrading firefox browser, it updates only the browser it never remove your settings and bookmark. If you like the clean reinstall follow the below steps
    Note: clean reinstall removes everything from your system
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 won't run with the new Yosemite OS. How can I fix this?

    Ever since we updated to Yosemite OS we've had so many problems with our programs. I can't even open Photoshop Elements 10. Is there any way to fix this?

    First of all, don't try to sign in. Photoshop.com is dead and gone and PSE will hang forever looking for the non-existent servers. Just start the editor or organizer directly from the application file and use that. The editor is this one, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in applications:
    Also, it's very important to delete existing preferences on upgrading OS X:
