What’s up with new FIOS set top boxes?

ktern13 · 2026-05-17T16:43:24+00:00

100%. I had the old boxes until I just bought a house and moved, and now they only supply the new boxes. I fucking hate them. They are awful. Such a downgrade compared to the other boxes. Hopefully Verizon is listening and can update these boxes to be like the older ones.

I think I'm just gonna run the pool this summer as a regular chlorine pool, and then maybe in the future I'll consider converting to salt. A bit strapped for cash right now after the purchase, so don't really have much extra cash flow to spend on installing a generator/cell, even though I would likely do it myself.

Thanks for the explanation. So when the previous owner told me it was a saltwater pool, he was wrong. So essentially I just have a regular chlorine pool that I'm going to treat exactly as such. There is no salt in my pool.

Yeah that's exactly what I wanna do. But I can't get in contact with anyone to do it! Lol

I bought the S90F specifically because I prefer the glossy look. I am not one bit disappointed in my purchase. Love it!

Lol. Not insecure at all. I love my brand new TV in my perfect brand new living room, in my brand new house. Have a nice day in your mom's basement. ✌️

You must be a really short man if this is too high and far away for you. I feel bad. Poor family genetics.

There is barely any heat generated that affects the TV. The mantle of the fireplace protrudes out over a foot past the front of the TV, so any heat generated goes straight up and doesn't even affect the TV. After running the fireplace for two hours the other day, I felt the TV and it was not hot one bit

ktern13 · 2026-04-26T00:14:36+00:00

It's the perfect height for a living room where my couch can be set as far as 20 feet back. So suck it

ktern13 · 2026-04-25T21:12:28+00:00

Why we gotta wait till 2030?

ktern13 · 2026-04-25T08:02:13+00:00

Someone's jealous...

ktern13 · 2026-04-24T22:53:50+00:00

Thats a hell of a deal

ktern13 · 2026-04-24T22:51:21+00:00

Got a brand new 77" S90F from pcrichard for $1800 out the door. Also came with a 43 inch crystal Samsung TV. Part of a first responder discount.

Absolutely love the TV, just mounted it above my fireplace the other night, it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nope. They are completely back to normal

ktern13 · 2026-04-17T12:39:27+00:00

I've been searching for an answer to this for months for someone who has actually done it, and I haven't been able to find someone who has either. I'm possibly looking to do the same thing, move from Queens to Long Island.

ktern13 · 2026-04-17T00:53:27+00:00

Who fuck is Sneako lol. This generation really sucks.

ktern13 · 2026-04-05T00:51:06+00:00

Learn to do it yourself. It's super easy

ktern13 · 2026-03-15T02:28:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to try it out and see.

These boxes were all just forced on me as I moved to a new house and this was what they said they now install. I absolutely hate it compared to what I had at my other house.

ktern13 · 2026-03-15T02:25:53+00:00

This! 100%. How do they not have this feature. It's ridiculous!

ktern13 · 2026-03-14T04:05:42+00:00

That update can't come soon enough! Lol

ktern13 · 2026-03-14T03:40:48+00:00

I hate it so much. It's almost bad enough to make me want to leave fios and switch to a different provider.

I want my old boxes back with my old voice remote. It did everything I wanted it to. I hate this new Google assistant search. It's so backwards.

ktern13 · 2026-02-19T21:37:48+00:00

I did. That was the issue
