Sorry if this has been answered already.

Anyone know when 1.9 is supposed to be rolled out to the Long Island, NY  (franklin square) area?

Thanks

If it's good enough, then why is the software not good enough for NY?

Did you notice some problems last weekend such as Online DVR showing your recording schedule but showinging "bad gateway" for recordings, but showing the recordings if you clicked manage recordings.  They had some server problems that caused them to have to schedule some work to fix them, which meant they postponed working on the upgrade for IMG 1.9 in NY.

Server is down in NYC? This is why Verizon delayinfg rollout? The incomptence on Verizon IMG develpment team reaches new high! And I can guarantee nobody in Verizon will be punished! Nobody!  This is standard operation procedure for Verizon failure is not punished but rewarded! I bet after rollout will be over sometime in 2014 Joe and his team will get huge bonuses  - for the job well done!

I agree mr Alden...its raining here..thays why..union guys don't work in the rain..wind snow....if there hungry ..upset...or any holiday unkess you pay them extorsion rates...the thing that gets me upset is they do not communicate when..how...or why about anything ..just like cable...they need to realize a large chunk. Of their subscriber base are tech savvy not the average dolt who doesn't know how things work or want to...well they do not do updates on any other day than Tuesday so maybe next week....see ya all next week..HEY JOE CHIME IN ..LET US KNOW WHATS THE DEAL!!!!!!

Are you done?  

      Realize that all the scheduling, programming,and systems integration work are done by Management, not Union personnel. And all methods of communication (including miscommunication) are management responsibilities.

      And yes, they do work in the rain, But for safety-mandated reasons (again a Management decision, albeit a smart one.) usually indoor jobs are completed in inclement weather.

But don't let me confuse you with the facts, if your mind is made up.

Not just Apple. but any software company - Microsoft, Google, etc, etc do updates once for everybody. DirectTV also upgrade once for everybody, Dish, I believe, also upgrades at once.  For Verizon, specifically for Joe Ambeault  software upgrade is event of the century, or maybe millenium.. I am suprised why they upgrade by DAC - thousands customers at once. It would be wise to upgrade each individual box in order to prevent software crashes and customer complaints. That way Joe will be guaranteed that every box will be upgraded properly. Yes, it will take couple hundred years to upgrade everybody but it will be done without major hickups. In the end of the day Joe is still very proud of how he and his development  handle this  rollout - one happy develpment manaager out there....

i was curious about this upgrade from the verizon magazine and I got pointed in this direction . Is this a TV guide upgrade or is it more than that? Is everyone angry because they want to watch the guide and not tv shows? So confused!!! Lots of grown men crying over a tv guide is a serious problem and verizon must meet their demands.....or they might need to get girlfriends and have to go out. If it was an upgrade for 3D porn I'd be the biggest **bleep** complaining but this is a f'n TV guide update. We'll get it when we get it.

Yes.  1.9 adds multi hub.  As long as you have multi room DVR the feature is included.

So you spend about $52 a month on DVR rentals? Do you get any Multi-room DVR discount like we do with a DVR and STBs?

That seems a bit costly, but if you have the disposable income, why not.

I'm another NoVA user who got IMG 1.9 this morning. After some issues contacting the "widget server" it seems to be running well, albeit power-on is slower.

Transitioning fom DirecTv the new features really make the 7323 a player. Native mode, DVR to DVR, and eSATA support were all features we had with DirectTv that I've been waiting to use with Verizon. They seem to work real well so far.

I just wish the Motorola boxes had the ability to assign different remote code sets, but IMO 1.9 is a giant leap forward.

btw, here's what I'm trying out for eSATA:

  

"Western Digital AV-GP 2 TB SATA II Intellipower 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Internal Hard Drive - WD20EURS"

  

"Vantec NexStar CX NST-300SU-BK 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 and eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure (Black)"

I think that we are wasting our time, does anyone working for Verizon read this forum, and if so do you think that they actually care? They have most of the country set up with 1.9, there is no valid reason that everyone doesn't have it.
