> Oh jeez, you’re screwed six ways from Sunday then, huh? When the installer brings the new box, don’t let him leave until he’s demonstrated all the DVR features and you’re satisfied they work correctly.

I hope s/he knows what s/he’s in for when s/he gets there: I’ve looked all around for some kind of user guide that _explains_ how the features of the DVR and even the other FiOS menu items work, and I’ve found nothing. I got all excited when I found a PDF of the remote control user manual on the FiOS site- it’s just a PDF of the crappy piece of paper that came with the darn thing. I’ve looked ALL over the Verizon FiOS site. I can find _nothing_ that tells me how it all works—nothing. Even the help screens on the TV menu tell me crap-all about any of it. It’s maddening, really. I mean, how do I _learn_ about this stuff???

**CookingWithGas,** you are an honorable person! 😃

p.s. I’m pretty sure I have an audio-sync feature on my receiver that allows for a correction when things are out of whack, but I’m not quite there yet- I have way too many other things to figure out first!
