Yes 100%. I set my HD up in under 5 min. Just make sure you have the right DVR box.

Yes. I am using it right now with Verizon FIOS. I think you need to see if your DVR has firmware 1.9 or later (it should by now). When you plug it in for the first time, your DVR will ask you to format it (it takes a minute or two). I have a QIP 7216 FIOS DVR.

Yes...I purchased it last Nov. Assuming you have a DVR that has an eSATA connection and not one of the older models then you simply follow the steps to expand the storage. It worked great and now we don't have to worry about having to delete stuff prior to recording.

The Verizon FiOS DVR model Motorola QIP 7216 is compatible with the My Book AV DVR Expander, but requires set-up different from other model Verizon DVRs. Please follow the instructions (exactly) below to connect the My Book AV to this specific model DVR. 1. Access the DVR menu. 2. Select Enable More Storage. 3. At the "Activate External Hard Drive (eSATA)." screen, press OK. 4. Plug in the My Book AV to the SATA Drive port at the back of the DVR. Note: Do not plug in the drive until prompted. 6. Press OK to activate. 7. When prompted, reboot the DVR by pressing OK. 8. The additional storage of the My Book AV should now be available. The normal DVR menu has an "Eject" feature that allows you to stop the external drive and make it safe to remove it from the DVR without losing anything via an unplanned drive removal. This can be found at "DVR" button on remote then "Settings"-&gt;"External Hard Drive"-&gt;"Eject". This worked for me, but its important NOT TO PLUG IN THE DRIVE UNTIL PROMPTED! Hope this all helps. When plugged in your DVR, it will record on the WD first until its full, then it will record on your DVR. You can delete programs off the WD just like you would your DVR. Make sure you always "safely eject" the WD before you pull the plug!!!

I have the QIP 7232 and I was able to get it working by using The Grinch's directions - you do have to wait to plug it in. Mine didn't actually start recording until I formatted the drive (settings - external drive - format). Seems to be working ok now. Thanks, Grinch.

Yes, it works with fios. It's a simple install. It basically sets itself up. Well worth the money.

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!

I don't think so -- they have nothing in common. FIOS gives you a cat-5 Ethernet cable where this booster is for coax cable.

depends if it is a reverse SMA connector. I have no idea what kind of FIOS router you are using. FIOS is not a brand name for the hardware. FIOS is the name of the service.

You don't with Verizon. You have a dedicated fiber supplying your service, so your moca network can't interfere with anyone else's service over their network. I assume you have a moca network between your TiVo and a Mini, is that correct? I'm jealous. I used to work for Verizon FiOS in tech support, and all we have is Time-Warner in Hawaii. FiOS is amazing.

Do you happen to know whether the same holds true for Verizon's FIOS service? Or would I need their HD box?

I don't remember but when I plugged it into my existing FIOS network on a MoCa cable it configured itself. All I had to was to rename the AP ßID

When FIOS was installed for me, the FIOS technician had set that all up...I would contact FIOS to either have one mailed to you or set up an appointment for a technician to install it

yes, I do it all the time. I have three sets connect to Verizon Fios but it would apply to any cable service. To watch three different programs on three different sets you must have 3 cable adapters but NOT with this Wireless... this system does NOT include the transmitters so I am sending it back.

As long as the FIOS equipment you are using is IF (infared) it should be compatible. IF means that you have to point your FIOS remote control at the box (FIOS receiver, setup top box, etc...) in order to change channels and use other functions of the receiver. If you have a box that is RF (radio frequency controlled) meaning you can be in another room and change a channel, then this is something you do not need. Remember that any device with IR can use this repeater system. Just be careful if you are using a Plasma TV.

I don't know about Fios. I know it works with AT&T; Uverse and our local cable company. Sorry but hope this helps.

No,but Actiontec due carry a Verizon FiOS model. This one is only for Verizon DSL users. If you can't find on Amazon, try asking Verizon for the Actiontec FiOS model. Also, if your existing modem is defective they will replace free of charge, just make sure you return older defective model.Good luck.

Yes it will work. That is actually how Verizon and Time Warner set up my modem and tv box

yes, I have a cable box from Frontier FiOS and this box, with a coax cable splitter prior to each unit, and they both work great.

I have a Verizon Fios-provided gateway router attached to my Extreme. I disabled the wifi on the gateway and only use it as a modem providing signal through an Ethernet cord to my Extreme. I've had no problems at all.

It worked for several days before I added the switch. I'm using the basic FiOS setup with an actiontec WiFi router that Verizon gave me.
