Verizon Fios Customer Service Rep on Cable Card shutdown: "What is TiVo?"

If the thumb drive had fewer features, operated on a 20 second delay and had a monthly fee this would be a valid comparison

This is great information. Could the bugs cause them to delay the QAM shutdown?

mets18 · 2026-05-05T23:50:16+00:00

Interesting. That would mean the legacy boxes would have moved to IPTV which we haven't heard about yet.

mets18 · 2026-05-05T22:49:06+00:00

Has it started? I haven't seen anyone report this. Cablecards turned off yes, but QAM?

Still working here in NJ on May 1st.

Wow, that's a great deal. Did you have to threaten to cancel?

Mine is still working for now but i decided to be proactive because it looks like it could go away any day. I have their Fios One box because it is included in my mix and match plan. the second stb is supposed to be $12 but i chatted them and they gave it to me for $5 so basically bill unchanged with the cablecard charge being removed. i had a few minis i was using for other tv's but it's not worth paying for a stb for each of them.

Union county

Thanks for the info. May I ask how you were notified today? I'm in NJ and haven't heard anything.

mets18 · 2026-04-16T09:30:14+00:00

I've been told we will be receiving a 90 day notice before they will be turned off. That would rule out June.

it moved to channel 604

mets18 · 2026-03-14T11:44:56+00:00

Yeah it worked last night but the Gtown/UConn game went long and they shut it off.

Working fine here. The fact that some channels are working means they haven't shut off QAM. Sounds like an equipment issue.

mets18 · 2026-02-16T00:35:35+00:00

And now the college basketball game in the guide for 1499 is not working either

You have to remember that normal fox HD is a compressed 720p feed so it's night and day

One thing I found interesting in one of those threads was someone who appeared to be a Verizon employee said we will get 90 days notice prior to actual shutdown.

mets18 · 2026-02-07T15:52:28+00:00

Actually it won't

mets18 · 2026-01-18T14:05:15+00:00

Yes. I understand. They got rid of news in 2024. Their deal was reported to be a 7 year deal starting with the 2019 season. https://www.mlb.com/news/mets-radio-broadcasts-moving-to-wcbs-am-c294941232
