On DSLreports, there is a long dissertation on what configurations can be done to get VOD and channel guide and caller-ID to work. Remove DVR control will fail, but I am not all that interested in it anyway. I suspect, however, that I should be able to get it to work once I "snoop" the traffic and see what it does. Or not. If I am successful, it will be posted at dslreports

MoCA, mocha, chocolate, shake. Latte. Something.

I knew what you meant

Yep I was looking at simply having the ONT connect directly with my personal DD-WRT router, but I decided I didn't care enough and just put it behind the Actiontec

Good luck

How often does this happen to any current CV customers out there?

@TJ_Lamb , from another thread: I see what you're saying about the new Fios time bar. I didn't notice it at first because I dvr everything. But what a step backwards that was when youre watching-surfing live TV. Stupid.
random outages? Ive never had one of those. must be an isolated incident.

I was previously on the regular optimum package with HBO for a year and it expired. When I saw the new bill I called in and complained because no one informed me of the end of the promotion. They offered me Optimum Gold for the same price that I paid for the regular package (for a year) and they credited the bill I had in my hand.

I actually DO remember getting those when i was using CV. Internet would go out for upwards of 4 hours during peek hours. Happened probably once a month.

Just dumped CV for Fios.

Their on demand SLAYS CV, littereally every channel has some content.. When we called to disconnect, CV was going to bring down to 88$ a month. We declined.
