Ah yes, repairs via the "percussion method". I would know NOTHING of that ;)

As long as it doesn't let out the magic blue smoke, you're fine.

Actually, I called Verizon. They reinstalled the software and rebooted it.

I've done that several times. It appears to help for maybe a few days at most.

I heard some people are using TiVo with FiOS. That might be an option.

They said that if it happened again, they'd replace the box.

1 TB HD TiVo (150 Hours of HD programming!) is available. Sure it is expensive as hell, but why not?

I just wish on demand was capable of replacing DVR's.

Qwest once promised any movie ever made, in any language, at any time. When will that happen?

It's on the list right after flying cars.

This one is actually doable. We have on demand, all they need to do is increase the storage capacity of their servers.
