Can this be used with Verizon FIOS? Even if with cable, what about DVR features?

I am using it with Verizon FiOS. I swapped out the Verizon box for a cablecard from Verizon. This is a significant savings each month but I don't have access to interactive or PPV services. I will use Netflix and Amazon for movies.

Does anyone know how to record programs from a DVR cable box (like TIVO)? Im not sure if I need a DV cable or if it can't be done.

I'm not sure, but I do know that it does NOT work with a Verizon DVR box so steer clear if you plan on using it for that

I'm sorry but I cannot answer your question because I have no idea what 'verizon fios' is.

I am using it with my Verison FIOS service, so yes, at least for one cable service. Keep in mind, though, unlike an old-fashioned land line, if you lose electricity, the cable phone won't work.

It is not compatible with Verizon FIOS at all, at least that was written on the box I received (although not mentioned anywhere on the description on the site).

It could be but series 2 Tivo is old so you can only tape what you are watching or at least 1 show. It worked fine but hard to keep connected unless you never dust the top of your TV or move the box. Then you have to try and get it programed again. I am stuck with Comcast so it may work differently with FIOS but it is the right connection. I bought a new Tivo.

have no idea what a FIOS box is. if it puts out a TV signal I would assume that it would work.

I use Maxell. I've recorded well over a hundred discs and didn't have any problems until I switched from Time Warner to Fios. Fios has software that won't allow recording of anything protected by copyright except on DVR.

This unit can be used as one of the many units to set up a similar setup to the Verizon Fios multi-room VCR. You can record a show on one Tivo and watch it on another. They just have to be connected via intranet (all be on the same network).

The dvr you choose must have the ability to record sound. The unit is wired and coax cabling must be routed to your DVR. If this answer doesn't help you entirely; just ask another question & you shall get more help ASAP...take care

Yes. I use Verizon FiOS HD TV service and I have two cablecards for the dual channel capability. Please note: The signal coming from FiOS is very powerful, and in many cases too powerful for the TiVo. I had to purchase a "db attenuator" which is a small plug that goes inline with the incoming coax cable. I am using a 20db attenuator. Without the attenuator you may get signal problems/pixelation. If you go into "Messages & Settings" and click on "Diagnostics" you will see "SN Ratio" (Signal to Noise Ratio). The sweet spot for TiVo Series 3 is "31db - 32db". If it's more than that you may get choppy picture. Yes. I use Verizon FiOS HD TV service and I have two cablecards for the dual channel capability.

No. A "DVR" with Cat5 inputs is typically an NVR or Network Video Recorder, and would require IP cameras. Do some research online and make sure you are using the correct camera type to go with your "DVR".

No, Cat5 wired connection is your only option to connect DVR to the router.

This works with our Verizon Fios, but we had to call the technical support to walk us through the process. My husband had to reboot it 3 times, but now it works great and we can record a ton more of shows and movies!
