7216 Replaced with TIVO
After constant problems with the "intermittent drop of signal'' whether I used HDMI or component cables, the worst programming guide accuracy I have ever witnessed, and of course the lack of recording space, I bit the bullet and bought a TIVO HD and an external hard drive and my total storage capability is now 93 hours of HD programming. The cost was approximately $350 with tax for both (cheapest place to buy the TIVO was on the phone at TIVO). The results after having the cable card installed: Everything is perfect. Customer service has been wonderful. If this changes, I will post the news. I have absolutely no gripes except I should never have reached the point to where I had to spend the money. Such is life. I am going to give it another 30 days and if it works out I will be ordering the TIVO HDXL to replace my other 7216.

FIOS Video/Audio Dropout
Over the last several weeks, our FIOS HD DVR/Receiver seems to drop both audio and video several times per hour. The TV screen simply goes to black for about 3-5 seconds, then the program resumes. We're also seeing problems when programs are recorded: on playback, the video will suddenly freeze, then begin playing for about 2-3 seconds, then freeze again. This cycle continues until we simply quit and delete the recorded program. We've tried everything, including shutting down the receiver and unplugging it for a few minutes. Anyone having similar problems -- and how can we resolve this?

New phone options
I've had an omnia for 6 months now and I hate it. Constantly updating ROMs to make it usable is getting old. I am so sick of tapping my screen 10 times to get it to open what i want it to. Seeing how i'm way past 30 days, what are my options for another phone w/o paying full retail? I would hate to switch to at&t for a new phone, but i'm getting to the point where i might have to.

National Geographic HD channel audio problem
For the past year I have not been able to watch this channel. The picture is fine, but the audio switches in and out continually. I have had technical support at the house, they changed boxes, checked signal levels than basically gave up with no resolution provided or promised. Has anyone out there had this same problem? Help!

NGHC HD and Discovery HD unwatchable
I've noticed a constant degradation of these two channels until they are now unwatchable for me. The channels are just digital pixal noise with no sound and a glimmer of the program behind the noise. Switching to the SD version clears the problem. I've tried resetting my box etc and can't come up with a solution. Anyone else in the fairfax area with a problem? I'd hate to have a tech come in ... I have the QIP 71001 box connected to my tv via HDMI. Other HD channels work fine.

Incomplete Street Installation??
I live on a small cul de sac with 11 houses, all of the houses are withing the same jurisdiction. All houses received a hang tag stating that FIOS cable was about to be buried and all yards were marked. When the crews arrived, they only buried cable on one side of the street to five houses. How can I find out when they will finish the street or what the deal is?

Samsung I760 stuck on MITS screen
My Samsung I760 was acting slow and froze up. I did a "hard" reboot (used the stylus to reset) and now I can only get the MITS screen to come up. It seems stuck in reboot. Has this happened to anyone? Is there a fix?

Can’t Connect to Mobile Broadband Access
Brand new Omnia and it looks nice but I haven't been able to connect via #777 to "boradband access" very often, and when I do, it's quite slow. At the moment I can't connect at all. No internet, no email, no nothing. Nada. Nice phone, though. Any idea how you're supposed to connect to this mobile broadband access? Thanks.
