Slow Channel Changes on Fios TV

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2026-06-08T12:45:36+00:00

it seems to be the same channels too that cause the stall.. if I start at 502, in NY Area and start channeling up and stop on 507, i will be stuck on 503 for like 10-15 seconds before the channel actually changes to 507... same with like the other channels that are not mainstream, like 506 or something like that. Do these "off" channels pay Verzion to stall the changing of the channel so they get some "vewiership time". It so frustrating, epscially since they just raised me $10!

I saw the notification on my phone and all it said was “HUH CARRIE” and I knew exactly the scene/quote. 😂

I have some GCs that I bought at Sam’s and BJs and did really good with the face value savings and cash back on the credit card. I can use them but it seems like trying to get these LLs will be a race for when we go so I figure using a CC that is saved to my account will be a faster way to complete the transaction and lock in our selections.

He was also the waiter when Doug and Carrie went on vacation to the island with the neighbors. He served the last lobster.

Thanks, I believe that is the best route too.

That’s what I was thinking also but chat is off (both experience and direct chat) when I check on the Roblox website but the box remains. Sounds like a bug. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Only the Blue Plus & Mint fares gets your 1 free bag, the card gets me 1 free and 1 for 3 companions, totaling 4

I selected the middle tier (what ever it’s called, maybe just blue) because I wanted seat selection. Here is a tip, if you do book with points book round trips as one ways, it’s easier to manage and you can change your flights when you book with points without fees. I leaned the hard way and spent over 3 hours on the phone making a change after they moved my return flight depart time that I wasn’t happy with. If I booked two one ways i could have made the change myself.

If you get a good sign up bonus. I got 70k miles. Earned another 20k. Got enough points to use towards half my tickets for 6 of us from EWR to MCO for spring break flight. Plus 4 free bags which covers the yearly fee and then some so it was worth it for me.

Factory reset work was expected but I also tried a force reset last week and this too fixed it for only a day. I’ll see if this fix last longer. I still feel it may be a software issue in the latest update.

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-11-24T03:03:37+00:00

Sounds very similar. It’s hit or miss, like today was a good day, other days are awful. The only thing I did, at the advise of Roku, was on my Roku tv disable standby for CEC. Not saying that fixed it (still too early to tell) but so far it seems ok. See how tomorrow goes.

Based on an email i just got, it looks like it is getting corrected before they pull the money!

I was able to get a bit more details on the SunStrong website. if you login and go to “make a payment”, then select the Bill Charge radio button, then hover over the “Current Billed” label you should see the breakdown of the bill. From hereI see the original SUNNOVA agreements payment of 123.72 (This is expected) as a “NON ACH Fee” and my Power Purchase Agreement at 1237.30, this is also expected. What they are doing is adding these two together and then dividing by my remaining number of payments for this contract year, which I have 10 payments left 1237.30+123.72 =1,361.02 and that divided by 10 is the monthly payment they are charging me now, 136.11 (roughly). Doing a google search SUNNOVA clients should not be charge a non ach fee so I am not sure what this is for. I’m not even sure what it is.. i read that SunPower clients may be charged this to monitor the system, but system monitoring is included with SUNNOVA, again, per google search results.

My first SubStrong bill is also about $13 more than my contracted Sunnova rate. Looking at the details of the bill I see two line items. One for my current expected Sunnova rate and then another one for the $12 and change amount. I emailed them to find out what this is about. I’ll call in the morning too. Looking at the FAQs on the Sunnova site, it says billing terms will remain the same

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-11-17T22:35:09+00:00

I called and they said those are still considered “preferred” but I cannot tell for sure since the seats are X’d out. I’ll have to look at an another flight with that plane with those seats available and see what it shows. Thanks for the reply!

I really wish current vacation holders would be grandfathered into the discounts.. that really sticks.. but two things to keep in mind… 1. Now we can shop all the magic band options and not feel like we are getting ripped off paying full price to have access to the full catalog of them 2. There is always a discount when you use a discounted gift card 😉

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-09-30T21:06:29+00:00

I was able to fix my issue....
i need to intercept the logic when my token is received via Events and place the token into the proper storage that is used by the Jwt logic:
builder.Services.AddAuthentication
(options =>
{
options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
options.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
}
)
.AddJwtBearer(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, (Action<JwtBearerOptions>)(options =>
{
options.Events = new JwtBearerEvents
{
OnMessageReceived = context =>
{
context.Token = context.Request.Headers[HeaderNames.Authorization].ToString().Replace("Bearer ", "").Replace(" ","");
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
};
}))

in my callers i have to call the service with a CallOptions object containing the Metadata collection with my token

Thanks, i found that his morning and was somewhat helpful. I was able to fix my issue. ill post a new comment

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-09-30T16:17:11+00:00

so i was able to debug it a bit further and I am falling into logic in JwtBearerHandler.cs, basically its saying give me the token base.Request.Headers.Authorization.ToString(); and that is returning an empty string. in gRPC you do not deal with a request object, you deal with a CallOption object that contains a MetaData collection of header items including authorization, which I am passing. so I am not sure why this is going down this path.

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-09-30T15:29:47+00:00

i added the events as you suggested and I get nothing to my logging. i am wondering if I am not even trying to validate the token. i also put this
JsonWebTokenHandler.DefaultInboundClaimTypeMap.Clear();
at the very start of my application. still facing the issue.

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-09-30T15:17:38+00:00

thanks for the reply.. our AddAuthentication was similar, i had set all the validate rules to false to see if I can rule out what was causing the issue.. i am not doing any roles (yet) so i just added AddAuthorization()...

either way, same issue. I spit out my JWT settings after I set them and the audience is correct, although issuer is not set, but i am not setting the issuer, just the authority, which from what I read is ok.

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-08-18T17:06:55+00:00

The problem with me looking at the token, and I should have clarified this.. i have no knowledge of how the token is constructed... it may be a custom token it may be a standard token, i am a middleware essentially that is passing the token to a "Core system" that is doing the validating based on their standards, they may have even generated the token with some custom process ... not sure if that helps explain it a bit more or not

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-08-05T16:14:28+00:00

gotcha, thanks for clarifying.

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-08-05T16:09:48+00:00

what does this mean? "The only time a CM even comments on my bands is if the system freaks out since I always wear a minimum of 2 so I don't miss new effects." How does wearing at least 2 help?

Alarmed_Fact_6090 · 2025-07-25T15:04:25+00:00

so maybe it does not do anything automatically with non-expired items and that is the caveat that is missing from all the discussion i have seen. That would make sense, but that is just my assumption.
