To continue to enhance and maintain the FiOS TV network, Verizon occasionally launches a maintenance release or network upgrade which could impact your access to certain channels via a CableCARD connected device.
If you use an MPEG4 compatible TiVo® DVR or other device to access FiOS TV, you should not be impacted. If you experience channel access issues with a CableCARD connected device, you should first ensure that your device is MPEG4 compatible before contacting Verizon.
Please check with your device manufacturer to confirm compatibility with MPEG4 digital video delivery.
