@@bradhaughton6698 not true for a brand new customer who does NOT have any preexisting wiring set up in the building, which was the case for me because up until a year ago, my building and the surrounding buildings couldnt get any other cable service besides optimum for whatever reason. So my building had to set up fiber optic cables and all that bc optimum's pre-existing wiring in my building doesnt include that. So dont assume that every customer can do it on their own especially when you dont even know what their current financial/living situation is and if verizon fios service was already available in their area, bc like i said, verizon was only available in manhattan , and no where else in nyc up until around early 2022, when verizon was able to make fios service available to Bronx , Bklyn and Queens residents.
@@bradhaughton6698 i was a new customer and verizon service wasnt made available in my building, or even the entire bronx, brooklyn & queens area up until late 2021, early 2022. Which means no preexisting fiber optic cables bc optimum doesnt use that. Optimum was the only cable service you can get if you lived in the bronx, aside from private home owners who also had the option to get direct tv satellite cable service. My building obviously didnt allow direct tv cable service either.
If you're using the old router, yes, if you're not using the gateway router, the black one or the white router, which is Wi-Fi 6? I would recommend upgrading to the Wi-Fi 6 router
I'm upgrading to this right now, and this is not complicated to set up if you already have the cables and router You already have some of the existing cable, just reuse it and just connect the new cable that came in the box.
In a sense sort of an ad for Yttv, where all you need is the router. The media server gives you all that info that the streaming servers do not have. This is the horse and buggy whip end of the cable TV era. It is a great horse and buggy whip.... but nobody cares.
I discussed this with some advanced users. The whole Ethernet cable + coax cable is redundant. The VMS can connect to the ONT directly without a second connection to the router. All the router connection does is provide internet service which can be obtained from the ONT anyway.
@@gareginasatryan6761 ya i have to have customer service come out next week because it doesnt recognize the boosters we currently have so i can have ethernet, its very annoying
I’m going to scream why didn’t the app instructions tell me to add the caps to the ends of the splitter not being used??? Kept getting the 4038 Error!! Added caps after watching this video…now it’s fine?!?! VERIZON!!!!
Please lower all your wifi internet prices for even the poorest to be able to have wifi internet as internet this days it is a basic right to be able to stay connected and to be able to work online and to be able to study online and to be able to do homework online
@@xNYCMarc I talked to someone at Verizon because I am moving and will be setting up Fios service. They told me that they do still offer CableCards. You can find plenty of HDHomerun Primes on ebay. If they don't offer CableCards then their TV service is pretty useless to me. Especially if their video is running off of WiFi to their newer receivers. No thanks to that nonsense. If it can't be hardwired then I have no interest. Also I haven't found anything that can beat Channels DVR now that Tivo is pretty much dead when it comes to dedicated DVRs. Most cloud based DVRs are too limited. Rather have my own dedicated physical DVR.

Yea this is absurd of them to think theyre customers can do this at home.
Yes, you can as a customer. It's not that hard. You already have all the existing cables. Just replace your cable box and you're Router, that is it

@@Sadames03 If you're talking about a customer that's getting Verizon, then they're not gonna do it. The technician is gonna set it up for them.

@@bradhaughton6698 I did it myself. No technician.
Can we get a more details explanation with the setup!! Come on!?!?
i have the VMS connected along with one of the FIOS + STB but i cannot get other STBs to work in other rooms
Hi i am currently subscribed to your basic package and interested in an upgrade. Could you tell me more about your higher-tier plans?
You need to call customer service to do that upgrade. They can help you with that.
We got three TVs in my house. Do we still need the three smaller devices or we just need the main router?
Says vms is not connected but everything is the same as the video?
This is ridiculous because now I need all new routers because it says they are incompatible
If you're using the old router, yes, if you're not using the gateway router, the black one or the white router, which is Wi-Fi 6? I would recommend upgrading to the Wi-Fi 6 router
Is there a way to save programs you have dvr’d on the Verizon Fios cable box you are replacing, onto the FIOSTV+ system you are replacing it with?
No, but you can save your schedule.
Absolutely horrible Verizon…this is such a nightmare you guys suck

Tv will not turn on
Too much.. Just buy an Apple TV. Problem solved.
I set this up in 15 minutes
FiOS is still the best internet but geez guys you still have too many components for that setup.

VERIZON NEEDS TO DO BETTER 😒
Yes, I switched to T Mobile after 25 years of being a Verizon user.
The service pretty good I recommend it just set it up just now will be doing a video pretty soon on my channel
How can I watch first cable on my tv
I dont like it. Its to much installing. Waste of time😮

Don’t worry. They support the Affordable Connectivity Program and they have the Verizon Forward Program.
@@nganhuynh5226 The Affordable Connectivity Program has not been refunded. It's done. Gone. Nada. No More.
How is it a basic right ? 🤣
i DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS VMS BOX IS ANDROID. Not using an android box.
Rather have an HDHomerun Prime with a cablecard.
Verizon doesn't have cablecards anymore. Also, the HDHomerun Prime isn't made anymore since cablecards are "end of life" in the US.
