But the caps are still on so this is a bad joke.
Of course, we've expected them to match FIOS speed eventually, so this
announcement wasn't really unexpected.

anyone 'scared to death' and for good reason, there is nothing to be scared

Have you seen the latest two Apple ads? They call
attention to MS's huge budget for enhancing its
image and small budget for fixing its crappy
software.
I've seen them, and they are, as always, funny. But this time the reason

The TV commercials I've seen are at about a 1:1 ratio between Apple
and MS. At least I can enjoy and understand the Apple ones. Clever,
creative and simple. I'm not sure what the message is with the MS I'm

Depends on why it failed. If I look at it and realize that I made a very
bad mistake then I would send it back. I have done that with PCs on more
than one occasion.

Yeah especially when it's just say a scratch on the paint or maybe a dent in
a fender. Those mac glitterati can really throw money around I guess.

Nah. Maybe in the last month or so the ratio has been closer, but I still
see a LOT more Mac ads than MS ads.
But more importantly, the Apple ads have been running since 2006, and they
are ubiquitous. You cannot avoid
My FIOS installation last July was very similar. The only real
issue was with the set top boxes. The salesman had signed us
up for an HD converter, telling us that it would work with our SD
set and we would avoid the hassle of upgrading in case we ever
did get an HD set, but the installer said

Not sure about whether you need the box or not.

I can't answer about the DVR, but once your house coax is connected
to the FIOS box, your signal will be all

Definitely not nerdy.

MS for its advertising budget is truly amusing.

The MS ads are not memorable so you might get the impression that there
are fewer.
So, you are seriously saying that there have been more MS ads than Mac ads,
total, over the last two years. Seriously? You are seriously saying that?
The ads basically say we are fat, happy, and pompous, with

I figured I'd throw this out to the Tivo devotees and see if anyone has either
heard of this or has a possible solution.
I've got a Tivo Series II DVR and DirecTV and Comcast basic.
Sometimes, when I go to watch a program that should have been recorded by Tivo,
I get the bouncing 721 message.
We don't have FIOS in our neighborhood yet, but may get it some day.
One major concern that we have is battery backup which is only good for
around 6 hours. Do they have a setup with multiple batteries or solar
charger for power outages longer than that? Our power goes off almost
every time
Far be it for me to claim expert status on fonts, but from my limited
experience, nothing happens to the already installed fonts. You should get
prompts about overwriting existing files if you try to install one already
installed.
Just the same, back up your fonts folder beforehand and try small
They only provide the one, small-ish battery that's built into the unit.
You can have extra batteries on hand, but you have to have a way of charging
them. There is a small A/C adapter port on the side, but from my research
there's nothing available to go into it. Plenty of forum threads on the

Get a font management utility. Best one is Suitcase for Windows.
I assume that this is a DirecTV TiVo so Comcast has nothing to do with it.
If you get a new DVR it won't be a TiVo.
Have you rebooted the machine? Unplug wait a minute and replug. This fixes
lots of strange behavior.
Try erasing and reentering season passes.

FIOS triple play is offered in Northren VA at $104/month for
phone/TV/Internet. I pay $10 more for faster internet and some more for
extra TV channels. You may as well get all three since phone/internet costs
more than the $104. I'm guessing they are giving a discount to get
