Box clock mini tv#
From dedicated long-haul point-to-point fibers, to cesium beam frequency standards in central offices, to the fiber in your basement, your FIOS TV one box probably knows what time it is to within a few tens of microseconds. The Verizon timing network is the envy of the high-speed communications world. If this is all about the size of the box, then how about giving us time out of the USB port and an aftermarket choice of clock displays to sit on top of it doesn't get much fanfare, accurate timing is one of the most valuable services that FIOS provides (it makes everything else possible). We're talking about $2 worth of parts in something for which you're charging me $10/month. I can't come up with a stupid enough metaphor - a stereo without speakers? a beer keg with no tap? A TV with no screen? None of these are dumb enough. If they don't recognize the marketing value of having "Millisecond Time by Verizon" in my continuous view, they should consider alternative careers. The Verizon Marketing department should be replaced for incompetence. Removing the time display from the TV one box was not only dumb, it was also stupid. I'll also admit to unabashed technophilia - I don't need milllisecond timing in the bedroom, but it's cool to have. The time is trustworthy and resilient, it always gets daylight savings right and resets itself accurately after a power outage. The time display on my TV set-top box is my little window into this magnificent technology. Kudos to the engineers and technologists for the development and maintenance of this remarkable capability, which we customers pay for with each monthly bill. We also offer a wide collection of novelty music box door chimes and hand crank mechanical options for the music box enthusiast.While it doesn't get much fanfare, accurate timing is one of the most valuable services that FIOS provides (it makes everything else possible).
