As a recent convert to Verizon FiOS TV (both internet and local and long distance phone service), I’m generally happy with the results. Internet service has been made more reliable and phone calls have been added to voice messages and caller ID. But the compelling reason was the television service, the immense number of channels available, the high quality, high definition images, the magical parish with a digital video recorder< /a>, and an amazing channel guide that negates the need for listed television cards.
And here is where I see a flaw in FiOS that needs fixing. Because there are 625 channels available to us, it is not practical to surf through “All Channels” to find what interests you. But there is a handy “Favorites” option that allows you to save the channels you watch most often. Then, when working with the remote, it is necessary to select only “Favorites 1” so that a list of maybe 50-75 channels is probably the most likely to show the user’s program. If another household member wants to design a different set of channels, he or she can set up “Favorites 2”.
So, you ask, what is the matter? The problem is that if you venture outside the confines of your custom Library channels to see what you’re missing, you’ll find yourself back in the flooded world of “All Channels”. And in that seemingly infinite sea there are many channels, which you know you never want to watch. In fact, there are whole categories of channels you never want to watch.
What I would like to see fixed is the ability to temporarily remove channels from “all channels” so that I don’t get annoyed by them when my channel is surfing. So why would I want to “hide” these channels in the same way that I “code” a column into an Excel spreadsheet? They include:
1. Low deb versions of the channels I get in high def;
2. I don’t want to pay for the main channels I know, such as more than 20 versions of Showtime;
3. I do not care for channels dedicated to sports, such as fishing and racing;
4. Channels devoted entirely to religion or food;
5. Music channels only (because I don’t want to listen to music on TV);
6. The great force of the low storm channel;
7. Special attention to family martial arts programs, local high school sports, etc.
8. All channels that are in Spanish, Russian, Japanese, etc.
Obviously, your list would be different from mine, since you want to see those programs about fishing or deep local. play games! The point is that each of us can customize “All channels” to eliminate channels that we never watch. If I could hide such ways, life would be good. And Verizon FiOS TV would be more user friendly and almost perfect.
