Why is BBC America Offered in all lineups except Prime

When I signed up for the Prime package the sales rep told me that BBC America was included. I noticed it was listed in the Select and Extreme packages, but not Prime, but he assured me that if it was listed in Select, it was also in Prime even though not listed.
Guess what, its not available in my lineups, and I specifically wanted this channel.
i called Customer Serive to ask why this was the case, and she pretty much compared it to ordering of the McDonald's Dollar Menu... that sometimes you can only get a channel if you specifcailly order a package that its included in.  She pretty much blamed me for not paying attention and ordering a pacakge that included all the channels I wanted. Told me I had to pay$15 more a month for that channel. I was beyond insulted how rudely she talked down to me.
However, if you offer BBC America in Select, Extreme, and Ultimate pacakges, then why the hell not is it included in Prime. This makes absoluetely no sense.
Three days into your service and the 75/35 internet speed is no different that the 15/5 I had with Comcast, and now I have less channels for the same money.  Please explain to me why I shouldn't cancel my service today.

BBC America is in prime, but not the HD version.
Not in my house.  I have Prime, but no BBC America on 189 or 689.  No OnDemand, either.  In short, no BBC America on Prime, as the OP pointed out.
Oh Well.

  • BBC America - HD

    BBC America is starting to step up the quality of it's programming and I seem to be watching it more and more. Is there any information on BBC America HD being offered anytime soon? It would be a great addition to the HD lineup!

    >Don't expect much of anything new until later in the Summer when channel capacity will be available
    Thats fine!  BUT TELL US!  Without ANY kind of announcement, even one "We need to wait until end of summer, but then WATCH OUT!" or something like that.  Right now, it really looks like they don't care and are being very arrogant.

    Exciting, isn't it? From the official press release....
    Found on Channel 689, BBC AMERICA HD is available in FiOS TV’s Extreme HD and Ultimate HD packages.  BBC AMERICA is already available in standard definition on FiOS TV Channel 189.  Verizon also plans to add BBC AMERICA HD to its FiOS TV Video on Demand offering soon. 
    The HD launch on FiOS TV comes just in time for the start of BBC AMERICA’s newest series,“COPPER,” from Academy Award-winner Barry Levinson, Emmy-winner Tom Fontana and Academy Award-nominee Will Rokos.  The series – a gripping drama set in 1864 New York City and filled with intrigue, corruption and mystery – premieres Sunday (Aug. 19) at 10 p.m. ET/PT.  Other popular shows include “Doctor Who,” “Top Gear,” “The Graham Norton Show” and Dramaville’s acclaimed miniseries “The Hour” and “Luther,” for which Idris Elba won a Golden Globe.
    Happy TV watching! Do you have a favorite show? I've heard amazing things about "Doctor Who" and "Luther."

  • Whenever I try to update flash player it demands I close a dashboard client, but it doesn't say which one.  I have 10 of them running.  the installer must know which one, why doesn't it offer to close it (or them)?

    see the title.

    the installer doesn’t flag the clients…that’s the problem.  if I knew what it was complaining about I would kill it.  please don’t tell me the installer is really saying “kill all the dashboard clients”.  if that’s it then why doesn’t it offer to do it?  either a) it knows where the conflict is but won’t tell me;  or b) doesn’t know even if there is a conflict and leaves it up to me to guess.  great.  sure, I could kill them one by one and eventually find out which one, assuming the answer isn’t b), but I really think the installer could do a better job.  up to me there would be no flash clients and thus no issues.

  • Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough space available.

    Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough available space.

    The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
    80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
    It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
    Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

  • BBC America On Demand Update

    For the past two weeks, BBC America On Demand hasn't been updated.
    According to the BBC America On Demand Web Site it has been kept up to date and shows more recent programming than FIOS' BBC America On Demand.
    Why is this so???

    Regarding BBC OnDemand...I was wondering, since the addition of BBC-HD is not possible at the moment, is there a way that FIOS might be able to add BBC OnDemand in HD?  (Something similar to what is  currently being done with FEARNet...we have the standard channel, but there is also an HD OnDemand option.)  It would certainly be nice to have something to tide viewers over until the day that the HD channel can actually be provided.'

  • BBC America on Demand

    On Wednesday the last episode of The Hour was on--Part 6.  I set recorder for the 1am episode.  Whether Verizon guide screwed up or BBC America, I ended up with two recordings of The Hour.  One started at 11pm, was 14 minutes and was not The Hour.  The other one started at 1am, was 45 minutes long and started half way through the episode.  Ok-- thought I could watch it On Demand, but Part 6 is not even there yet.  It only goes up to 5.  Why doesn't Verizon put it on demand as soon as it has aired?

    We load the content to the VOD servers when it is provided to us. I apologize for the delay.

  • Cartoon HD, BBC America HD, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network

    Hi all,
    I submitted a request to FIOS customer support for Cartoon NetworkHD and BBC America HD, and was recommended to post the request here.  These are two heavily viewed channels in my home, and it's only fitting to view their HD services, as we do with most major cable nets.  Even the new HUB kids channel is being carried in HD.
    Also, on 1/1/11, Discovery Health is becoming OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, and I would like to confirm that FIOS will be carrying it in SD AND HD.
    Thanks!

    Fios already has the HUB in HD. I'm not sure by your post if you knew that or not. Naturally they will be carrying OWN in SD since they already have Discovery Health. The HD will probably be picked up at a later time.

  • Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?

    Why doesn't apple offer a viewer/file browser for iCloud Drive?
    Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, and Google Drive all have viewer apps that let you see and manage what’s in the drive.  The only way you can do that with iCloud Drive is through a web browser.  Very frustrating and backward.

    I found a possible band-aid for our problem:
    1) On iOS 8 Device, go to Safari / iCloud.com
    2) Once you get to iCloud.com, you'll notice it won't give you the option to log in.
    3) Tap on the URL bar (this should bring up your bookmarks bar and Frequently Visited Sites)
    4) Tap, Hold, and Slide your finger down on that section (this will reveal two options: (1) Add to Favorites, and (2) Request Desktop Site
    5) Tap Request Desktop Site
    Log in as usual, and you can now access iCloud Drive with your PDFs and other documents like any other computer.
    I too am disappointed as I was looking forward to view PDF's shared between my Macbook and my iPad, but I think this should work until Apple comes out with a solution.

  • Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

    Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
    Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
    I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • Why do you not offer a reversion feature when you crash my add on with updates?

    I at my advanced age rely on the norton toolbar for storing and remembering my multitude of logins. It seems as if every time you update firefox, I lose this feature and have to search the internet for an hour to find and download the prior version of firefox to get it back, and often it auto updates again within hours and wipes out that effort. Why can you not offer a reversion feature when you update? I have voiced this complaint repeatedly over several years. I am happy with firefox with that one exception. It is VERY annoying and time consuming.

    You could set your Firefox to notify you of updates, and give Norton a few days to update before actually updating Firefox. To set that, use this dialog:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > Update
    The "Check for Updates" option might fit the bill. Definitely easier than rolling back an update.

  • Why i can`t see my all my photos the streaming in my new i-phone? i have 815 and i just can see 175

    Hello. do you know why i can`t see my all my photos the streaming in my new i-phone? i have 815 and i just can see 175

    Photo stream photos are only kept in photo stream for 30 days, although up to 1000 will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you connect a new device to your photo stream it will only receive photos added in the last 30 days as the earlier photos are no longer there.  Chances are, the missing photos were more than 30 days old.
    If the missing photos are on another device, you could create a shared photo stream including the missing photos and invite yourself, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.  You would see then be able to access the photos on your new phone.  Another option is to import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your new phone using iTunes.

    why is the download icon on all the time?

        Hello joelblair85! I know how frustrating it can be when you can't match an icon to a specific app! What make & model phone do you have? Which apps do you know of sync on a regular basis?
