I'd like to start this post with a request that this post be moved if it is not in the appropriate area.
In late April, there was an update to the FiOS DVR that has disabled some features that were previously available to me. Typically, I can press the "info" button on my remote multiple times and it will pull up a certain page that gives detailed information such as: upcoming shows, air date of the show, complete synopsis, full cast information, related shows I might be interested in and so forth. However, when I use my "info" button now it only shows a small overlay that has the short synopsis.
Additionally, in the past when a program hit the end of its recording it would stop and pull up a menu from which I had a number of options such as deleting at that moment or playing from the start (and many other options). Now, when a recording is done it boots all the way back to live TV and I have to go back in my DVR menu to delete it. There is an also an issue where the info button ceases working after a recording ends. To fix this I have to either enter the recordings menu or the channel guide.
Pressing the "OK" button on a recording also has no effect when it used to pull a menu. I feel the disabling of this button is a mistake as there is a graphic on the DVR screen that shows 3 buttons and their functions (Play, OK, C button) but only Play and C button work.
Any helpful links to a solution would be helpful. I searched in the forums but was unable to find a thread detailing this. If I have overlooked it, please direct me to it and the support answers from the Verzion staff.
Is there a known way to fix this? Is this just my DVR? This seems like a very odd update as it hinders the functionality that used to exist.
