Is anyone using this with Verizon fios cable: Is anyone using their cable cards?

Yes. I use Verizon FiOS HD TV service and I have two cablecards for the dual channel capability. Please note: The signal coming from FiOS is very powerful, and in many cases too powerful for the TiVo. I had to purchase a "db attenuator" which is a small plug that goes inline with the incoming coax cable. I am using a 20db attenuator. Without the attenuator you may get signal problems/pixelation. If you go into "Messages & Settings" and click on "Diagnostics" you will see "SN Ratio" (Signal to Noise Ratio). The sweet spot for TiVo Series 3 is "31db - 32db". If it's more than that you may get choppy picture.

I brought this for someone as a gift. I am not sure if the TV compatible with FIOS cable.

I connected my fios cable by myself without any problem... It takes some time but you will be able to watch cable

Sadly, I think you (we) are screwed. I was having horrible speeds with Verizon FIOS for a few months (<1Mbs), blaming Verizon and getting 3 new routers when I finally realized while I was on the phone with technical support that all my problems went away when I turned the BestView baby monitor off. I've tried all the channels with no luck. My wife and I just know to turn it off for a minute or two when we need to do some quick browsing. Very annoying...

I have fios and I was able to return the cable box that I was using from them and in return get a cable card. It works for the channels but I am unable to get the guide to work. I am not sure about time warner but I am sure that it is the same. Hope that helps.

Yes it's almost like it was made for Verizon Fios. You need one Ethernet/Coax adapter; 2 RG6 cables and a 2.5ghz bi-directional splitter. Don't use the coax out on the Ethernet/Coax adapter or you will lose On Demand and Guide. Split coax from wall and run to the adapter and STB. Follow this guide http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15984

My brother has this setup and the picture is awesome! I believe verizon charges more for their cablecards than cablevision does. Definitely compatible and would recommend

I have mine installed at our lake house, and have not had any issue with it dropping signal level. I have used it on a MiFi hot spot and our new Verizon modem without any such issues. Sounds like a malfunction in one of the pieces of equipment. Do you have another device that you could try to see if it is the antenna or your MiFi device?

I have the exact same thing. Tried everything I could find online, but no luck yet. This is my second D8000 at the house and the first on had no problems. Do you have Verizon Fios by any chance?

Yep! Just be sure to ask for a multi-stream CableCard. It's easier to have them set it up, I think...

I am using it with my Verison FIOS service, so yes, at least for one cable service. Keep in mind, though, unlike an old-fashioned land line, if you lose electricity, the cable phone won't work.

I have never lost signal on either of my cable cards. Other than the initial installation I've never had to call for any kind of service. As far as TiVo dropping it I seriously doubt it. I have to admit that if it were to fail out of warranty it is one of the few pieces of technology in the house I'd have to replace immediately. Mine is used every day for 4 to 10 hours.

So do you think it's worth extra $$$? I don't know much about electronics so I wonder whether it's worth it for me or not to spend more and whether I would actually use the extra features. Does the extra cable card slot mean I would not have to use the cable box but rather be able to plug the cable wire straight to the TV and use it directly?Thank you.

Ok, I cked and I have both airport Ext and Ethernet card. I have a Fio verizon modum in the basement that is connected and running correctly. Do I set the the Connection to 1)Airport 2)DSL (don't think so) 3)Cable in modum of 4) Ethernet. There is nothing in the back of the computer and Apple said I didn't need anything just the wireless. I have pppOL, firewire and airport (whatever that means).

The router has worked great for me. I currently use Charter cable internet and have no problems. Prior to that I had AT&T; DSL and it worked fine also. Unsure about Verizon DSL. Hope this helps.
