Quick Tips: How do I...
Access Video on Demand (VOD)?
Video on Demand is programming that is available for you to watch anytime
(and as many times as you like) within a set rental period. Simply select
ON DEMAND from the Main Menu (or choose Channel 900 from the TV
Listings) to see the VOD titles that are currently available. Select a program you
want to watch and simply follow the on-screen instructions.
Purchase Pay Per View programs?
Pay Per View allows you to see the latest hit events in just a couple of easy steps
with your remote. Pay Per View programs are offered at specific showtimes, so
if you want to see what’s playing, just select SEARCH from the Main Menu and
then select PAY PER VIEW.
Subscribers with DVR capability (see below) can automatically record a Pay Per
View offering for viewing at a later, more convenient time.
Use the Digital Video Recorder (DVR)?
If you have the DVR Set Top Box (STB) with your FiOS TV service, it’s a snap
to record a TV show or even an entire series — without tapes. The programs
are stored directly on your STB. You can rewind or pause live TV — making it
TV on your time.
With dual-tuner capability, you can even record two programs at the same time,
or watch one live TV program while recording another.
You’ll know that you have DVR capability if RECORDED TV appears on the
Main Menu. For a more complete description of DVR features, please check out
pages 42–47.
View a program in High Definition TV (HDTV)?
More and more people are entering the new era of High Definition Television —
and FiOS TV can be your gateway. If you have an HD-ready TV, and if you chose
either the High Definition or DVR Set Top Box, then you’re ready to enjoy the
incredible picture quality this new technology has to offer.
Shows being offered in HDTV are identified in the TV Listings by the HD symbol
at the end of the program description and can easily be found by selecting
HDTV from SEARCH BY CATEGORY.
You can also look at your channel lineup to see where you can find the specially
designated high definition channels.
Channel surf?
With the IPG, you can zip through channels quickly. Just press and hold the
CH button on the remote until you see the title of a show you want to watch,
then release.
