This is asinine. I have the new 4100 streaming device, but if I want to use the Fios App on my Apple TV, I have to upgrade to a "streaming package"?? What kind of BS is that? Isn't the 4100 already streaming?

Verizon sent us some new gear. We've had our TiVo Series 4 for a LONG time (replaced two fans) and we love it. There's nothing like it.

I tried the Fios TV+ and it's such garbage. My notes will be based on how it compares to a TiVo.

• Can't watch live TV while navigating
• DVR shows are buried a few menu items deep (home, DVR, then your shows)
• FTV+ keeps assuming I want to watch Matlock just because it was on CBS when I hooked the thing up. It's not a favorite show, guys. Stop that.
• Switching channels takes 3-5 seconds (instantaneous on TiVo)
• When you update your remote, it holds your entire TV hostage. Apple TV doesn't do that.
• Lost remote pairing twice in two days.
• No enter button when changing channels, so you have to put in your three numbers, and then WAIT. TiVo has an Enter button.
• There's no DVR button, you have to go to home, which kills your Live TV feed, and then navigate the system. Bad UI.
• There's no way to get tech info on a channel. For example, TiVo says that a channel is "720p", FTV+ says "HD". Useless.

I hate this thing. Sending it back.
