DVR recorded episodes of the same program is now limited to a maximum of five.  Verizon deleted four of our prerecorded and unseen programs overnight when they implemented their IMG upgrade.<br>  2. DVR recording program information is now truncated.<br>  3. DVR recorded and View Schedule programs no longer include the episode titles.<br>  4. DVR recorded and Series Manager programs are no longer listed alphabetically.<br>  5. DVR recording capacity is now reduced down to 47 hours; previously it was 80 hours.  Interesting, the Verizon website says the capacity is 120 hours.<br>  6. It takes five button pushes to learn if a program is new or a rerun; previously it was display along with the basic information about the programs on the TV listing and DVR screens.<br>  7. When watching a recorded program and it ends, pushing the Stop button now display all of the recorded programs; previously, we were given the immediate option to delete the previously watched program.  Now we must search through the entire recorded program in order to find the program that we just watched so that we can select it and delete it.<br>  8. I found the Marketplace listing something that I’m not interested in.  In fact, it cheapens our whole FiOS service.<br>  9. No longer can we search for a program by date and time, as that option is gone.<br>10. Programs in the DVR View Schedule now only show seven days in advance while the TV Listing shows 14 days.<br>11. The Reminder feature on the STB for controlling a VCR no longer works.<br>12. The remote control on the Help video shows a totally different control than the one that we received with our DVR and STB boxes.  We have four Scientific Atlanta AT8550 controls.  We are missing the DVR, OK, On Demand, Options, Skip Forward, and STB buttons.  Verizon is charging us $5 apiece to replace the remotes.<br>13. The channels previously removed from the TV Listing are now all back and the option to remove these unwanted channels is no longer available<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Thornton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2007 4:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon planning Q4 update to FiOS TV 2.0]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/08/07/verizon-planning-q4-update-to-fios-tv-2-0/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/08/07/verizon-planning-q4-update-to-fios-tv-2-0/</guid><description><![CDATA[is this only for the DVR set top boxes?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DVictor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2007 1:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon planning Q4 update to FiOS TV 2.0]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/08/07/verizon-planning-q4-update-to-fios-tv-2-0/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/08/07/verizon-planning-q4-update-to-fios-tv-2-0/</guid><description><![CDATA[Instead of giant menus that monopolize the screen and stripping out useful features like reminders, how about making the menus faster and easier to use. This is a horrible update. If the previous menu system was a 6 out of 10, this new one is a 4.5. Yeah, it's more colorful, but it's clunky, slow, user unfriendly and missing features. Horrible. I wish there was a way to opt out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AutomagV]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2007 6:58PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
