I am switching back to Fios after being with my cable company for a short while after previously having Fios. When I was with Fios a couple of years ago I didn't have Tivo. However, I got the roamio and mini a while ago and then decided to get a cablecard with Optimum as I didn't like Optimum's multi room dvr. Well, I started experiencing the V58 errors that so many people with the NDS cablecard have experienced. I'm on an old firmware and there jury is still out whether the newest testing firmware fixes it. I just don't want to put up with it.
Thus, I qualify for the new triple play deal and I ordered Fios 50/50 with the new Quantum gateway router and one cablecard. They need to send a tech to the house (not sure why) since I have the ONT etc. from my prior Fios install. The woman seemed to think because I was porting over a phone number.
Anyway, my question is what do I have to do to make sure that I am up and running when the Fios tech is there. I have to assume that the tech probably doesn't know much about Tivo or Cablecards so I will pretty much be on my own.
Reading Tivo's setup is confusing. Reading some threads on this forum is also confusing. I plan on using only Moca. Right now, with Optimum, I have my Roamio Plus connected with the Coax from the wall and an ethernet cable plugged in. My Tivo Mini at the other end of the house is connected via coax as well and sees the Roamio without any issue.
Do I leave this setup exactly the same way with Fios? I'm confused because so many people say that Fios already is set up for Moca. Do I not need to connect the Tivo with the MOca network setting? Does the Roamio not need an ethernet cable plugged into it? I unplugged the ethernet cable from the Roamio on my current setup and it lost Internet connectivity on the box. Internet was not traveling over Moca although it was my understanding is that what Moca is.
Can someone give me a step by step instruction with Fios so that I am ready when the tech comes this week?
