When will Verizon get competitive with Comcast

I live in the central Virginia area.  I have friends with Comcast that now get Picture-in-Picture (PiP) with their DVR.  They don't have to do anything special except push the PiP button on the remote.  No special wiring, no splitting the cable, etc. When is Verizon going to offer the same service???????

FiOS HD DVRs have dual live buffers so adding PIP would simply be a matter of writing the software (software is far easier to deploy than new hardware).
I don't know one way other the other whether it is possible or not with Motorola DVRs, but a post in this thread by KenAF says not, and I have found him to be very knowledgeable:

KenAF is always saying that the Motorolla hardware won't support this, that or the other (16:9 guide, external hard drives, PIP, etc...) due to a lack of adequate memory. His argument usually is essentially that no one else is doing it with this equipment so FiOS can't either. I don't believe that for a minute. Software solves a lot of problems and there are always smarter ways to get it done.
The hardware seems fine to me. With the right development effort, I'm sure that Verizon could make PIP work.

  • When will Verizon get the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini?

    It appears at least one LTE/CDMA cellular provider already has this phone. When will Verizon follow?

    It's the same answer as it was five months ago. When will Verizon Wireless have the Samsung Galaxy s5 Mini available for sale?

  • When will Verizon get the Passport? Possible timeline?

    Who do we need to be talking to have Verizon carry the Blackberry Passport?

    Like Jay.M. said, it doesn't look like we're getting the Passport. Chen said it was an AT&T exclusive in the U.S. but he didn't say if that was forever. On the off chance that the exclusive is only for a period of time, I would suppose 6 months after it's released on AT&T we could see it on Verizon. But that's a big and shaky "IF". Right now it doesn't look like they're planning to make a CDMA version of the Passport at all. Nothing has going to the FCC in CDMA, and anyway it hasn't even been released by AT&T. Looks like we Verizon users will get the BlackBerry Classic instead of Passport.

  • Global Roaming, when will Verizon step up for their customers!!!!

    Is there any one that works at Verizon that knows anything at all about the Galaxy S3? Customers have been asking to enjoy the same benefits as other users of the Galaxy S3 on other carriers. When will Verizon get with the program? Someone from Verizon come forward and give us some straight answers on this device such as why they chose to lock the bootloader down, why not make it a Global Ready device from the start. Unfortunately for them it will not be soon enough to keep me as a customer. I am glad that our Company gives us the choice to decide our carrier and I will make the correct choice in October. Thank you Verizon for the memories (painful!). Knowing Verizon the answers will come to these questions as quickly as their updates roll out! Good luck to all that stay with Verizon.

    Google your request. VZW has stated many times why the boot loader is locked down

  • I paid on time every month even with horrific service. When will I get my card?

    I paid on time every month even with horrific service. When will I get my card?Michelle R. Rockwell12055 E. Harvard ave. #202Aurora, C.O 80014

    If your son actually ordered and paid for it in-store then he was given a ship date that it would either be arriving for in-store pick-up or a beginning date that it would be shipped to your house ( Jan 10th - Jan 18th )  etc.  Since it was paid for upfront the only thing that would stop you getting it would be if Toshiba stopped producing it and Best Buy totally ran out at all its stores - otherwise Best Buy will do its best to fullfill your order.  You can usually talk to someone directly by calling the store and they can check the status of your order for you.   Hope this helps a little.

  • When will Verizon release Android 4.4 for Galaxy Note 3, units now sold with it, mine is only 30 days old

    My upgrade to Galaxy Note 3 is only 30 days old; it came with Android 4.3, units today come with Android 4.4; when will Verizon push the 4.4 upgrade?

    if the time for the screen set to lock down is set for a long time, the screen wasn't locked & you could pull down notifications.
    just checked, you can't pull down notifications unless the screen is unlocked with 4.3.
    is the screen lock down set for the same time as with 4.1.2?

  • Will verizon get the blackberry torch?

    Will verizon get the blackberry torch? I am incredibly picky when it comes to phones and i have fallen in love with the blackberry torch but i do not want at&t service at all so I figured I would ask here hoping someone might have the answer.

    Have a link? As mentioned, my research couldn't find anything about CDMA.
    Would love to read an official statement. Thanks.
    BTW, know what is listed at Shop BlackBerry, they never sell anything except GSM.

  • Black update from Nokia (when will we get it?)

    Everyone else is getting the Black update for Lumia.
    When will verizon be giving us the black update?

    I'm giving Verizon the benefit of the doubt.  I've read where some Lumia 920 and 925 users are experiencing major issues with their phones after receiving the update, so I'm choosing to believe that Verizon is extremely scrutinizing this update to ensure we don't have the same issues.  Having said that, I WISH that Verizon would be honest with us customers and tell us what is going on with this update.  Just because I choose to believe this is the case, doesn't mean it is and if it is the case, I would have a great deal more respect for Verizon.  But the lack of communication to us customers regarding these updates is one of the main reasons AT&T recently BEAT VERIZON in a J.D. Powers customer satisfaction report!  VERIZON, HEAR ME!  TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS UPDATE!!!  TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS UPDATE!!!! TELL!!!  US!!! WHAT!!! IS!!! GOING!!! ON!!! WITH!!! THIS!!! UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hopefully Sprint will get smart and provide the IPhone to its customers. Sprint is the only major phone company left since T-Mobile was absorbed by Verizon.
    Ummmmm, what planet are you living on?
    T-Mobile is an independent company.  AT&T has made an offer to acquire them, but that is still under regulatory review.
    Sprint cannot simply provide the iPhone to their customers, they would have to make a deal with Apple to sell the CDMA version.
