Can't connect to DVR remotely - through web or mobile app

This was working just a day or so ago, and now I cannot access my DVR either through the website or iPhone mobile app. I saw the other posting where some type of back-end "re mapping" needs to take place. Can I have the same assistance? This is also the second time this has happened to me, and I've only had the service for a month or so. This is a great part of the service, but it needs to work. In fact I was just asked to rate the mobile app this AM, and gave it a high mark. Then tried it and no access to DVR. Quite frustrating.

Here is the message through web - I masked the box name:

Set-Top Box - xxxxxxxxxxxx is not responding.

Through mobile it says:

Error - Network connection fo FiOS services timed out.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issues on the FIOS TV CENTRAL website as well as the new Android app. It refuses to connect and download my favorites or my dvr recording lists... Same errors as the post above.

There could be a couple things going on. The portforwarding in the router might be locked up. Before we remap the boxes, please reboot the router by turning it off then back on. If you are still experiencing the problem after doing that, please send me a private message.

I am having the exact same issue. I can't connect remotely through web or iPhone app. I called for support and customer service told me to call apple. Certainly not an appropriate answer. Is there any way that you can help me.

Same here. Phone support tried a few things, said it would be taken care of by the next day and I would receive a text. Next day and no text. Posted on here and I have done some things w/ the verizon rep. On third day now of exchanging emails. Looking up the service request, I am supposed to be done by 5:00 tonight. Yeah right!

I don't know when it stopped working, but it isn't working when I need it. I think that is the purpose of it.

(also android app not working, doesn't connect)

This has happened twice to me. I have used Live Chat and informed the fios agent I'm getting the time issue. They either "re-map or reconnect " and it works immediately. No need to turn on the SB or change anything.

This assumes, it has work in the past. The issue occurred when I switched my SBs.

It seems when you order the new DVR SB, they switch something on the back end, thus the new SB can work. Then, if you do not upgrade and continue to use the old SB, Remote DVR stops working. - I chatted via Live Agent and it worked.

Later, I upgraded to new SB box and DVR remote stopped working. Thus, I assumed they had remapped to old SB, hence new SB did not work. Chatted via Live Agent and it works...

It works from iphone, Ipad and pc. From Iphone it works from Fios DVR remote and DVR Manager app.

Hope this helps

I am having the same problem. Just had TV activated Friday. When I call support they suggest factory router reset. That does not fix it.

Anthony_VZ can you help?

Thanks.

Anyone else able to help?

Old thread, essentially considered resolved. Suggest new thread with new details.

Same issue here and it's almost two weeks of verizon run around. Nothing offered except to reset router to factory settings. Which I verified done twice and it still doesn't work.

I think there is a fix DVR option under support menu.

Have you tried that?

Are you logging in with your verizon.net email? I had the same problem starting back in October. I finally figured out that logging in with the account I had always used, was no longer allowing to access all Verizon services (mobile app, watching TV online, reading my bill etc).

Verizon was of course clueless until someone suggested I try and log in with the email they created for my account when I first signed up for Verizon with its own password. Presto!

Something must have broken on Verizon's end that allowed the other user account I had to access everything, but at least I can get to it from the email account.
