Suggestion: Add a Tivo and FIOS forum?

[NJRonbo]

Since there are issues with Verizon Fios and Tivo I thought that it
would be a great idea if the board "opps" would add a FIOS area so
that its growing community of users can discuss the pros and cons
of Tivo usage with that service.

Thank You

I'll second that...although the moderators would have to round up several threads into one under the TiVo Community and I don't think that'll happen (not that they couldn't do it). Good idea though.

I'll third that. FIOS was rolled out into our town a few months ago, and I am hopeful that I'll get it soon (I've got underground utilities in my neighborhood, so it's not at my house yet). Currently, I have a 4 year old Dish DVR.

So, I'm thinking of switching to Fios. After doing some research, it is very obvious that the Fios DVR is a horrible joke. So now I've decided to go with a Tivo HD for OTA, and switch to FIOS when it arrives. So, yeah, I've had a lot of Fios/Tivo questions!

BTW, these forums are very helpful. I almost posted questions three times, but the forum suggested threads that already had the answer. That's a very well thought out feature.

Zoinks,

I hope you have been doing your homework on this forum and know
about the issues regarding Fios and Tivo.

...not that you shouldn't buy a Tivo unit but be aware you will probably
need to do some attenuating to bring the problems under control.

Yes, I've seen - and bookmarked it. I guess the Fios signal is too strong?

I've bookmarked several posts here and at broadbandreports.com so I can reference them when I get the install.

Thanks for the heads up though!

For what little it's worth, I didn't need any attenuation on my FIOS set-up. (I'd already picked up the attenuators, just in case, but didn't need to use them)
