But with the tiny drive they have in their DVR, you have to watch anything you record right away anyway. Let's stop adding 'gimmicks' till you give me a 500G drive in the thing OK? Is this just me or what?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 1:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah you're right, damn those drives for only being able to record 1 show! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 8:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can record up to 20 hours of HD content using the Motorola 160GB HD DVR.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 6:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about rolling FIOS out to enough folks to where this is applicable news?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MadtownTim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 2:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[18 hours of HD programming or 80 hours std def?

My local cable service had the same boxes as Comcast and they worked perfectly.  The Verizon boxes are QIP (QAM over IP) as opposed to the DCT boxes Comcast uses.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wayne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 12:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wayne is right that these boxes may resemble each other, but have a few key differences -- hence the model numbers.  The QIP models not only sport Qam over IP unlike the DCT models, but all seem to have HDMI instead of DVI and often have larger hard drives.  However, the biggest difference is the operating system. The original QIP boxes had some horrible OS that made the Comcast OS seem refined.  <br><br>However, Verizon has finally rolled out its updated MSTV-based IPG to all customers earlier this year.  The new OS is certainly more modern than the Comcast one, but it has a serious flaw with its DVR scheduler.  After the update, which happened during the writers strike, old series recording information appeared in the scheduler, but was ignored by the box.  Consequently, users missed shows.  Verizon didn't inform its customers that they needed to reprogram their DVRs.  It was rather nettlesome.  Even now, my boxes sometimes lose schedule info, but so far we haven't missed anything as it has restored the info just before air time.  <br><br>Hopefully the inclusion of online scheduling means they have a bug-fix for the scheduler.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is great!!  It also reminds me of a feature Panasonic used to have in some of their VCR's.  It was called telephone programming.  You called into your home and hit a series of codes to record your shows from anywhere in the world.<br><br>Ahhhh yes, that was before the internet world developed!!!!!<br><br>Check out the link:<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjbKXpmtJXo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjbKXpmtJXo</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2008 4:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/30/verizon-preparing-to-enable-internet-scheduling-for-fios-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh, look... it's that crappy Motorola set top HD PVR that I just ditched for a TiVo HD. I hated that damned thing... slow, crappy search, incredibly _lousy_ remote (had to be pointed just right and then still didn't work half the time). Sad when the cable guy who is setting up your CableCard for your TiVo agrees as well. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Geraldo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 3rd 2008 11:24AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
