I bought my Slingbox and sent it to a buddy who recently installed Verizon FIOS in northern virginia. So far, he's pretty happy; says the picture "absolutely" is better than he got from cable. As to to Slingbox support: they don't have the DVR on their support list. The ones they do have allow you to work live TV sufficiently, but the DVR functionality doesn't work. I couldn't get to the menu to see what was recorded, much less play it back. However, they were familiar with the Actiontec router Verizon installs, so they got that working. Motorola says, of course, that they'll only provide support to cable suppliers, not users. I contacted Slingbox today with the expectation that they'd research the equipmnet and provide the version in a (near) future update. Wrong! They basically blew me off and said go look at the forum and write your own remote. Wow. I can see it you were asking them for something out of date, but this hardware is being installed every day, and they don't support it and they don't care that they don't support it. Nice. Sounds like they have a unique piece of hardware and are developing a "if you don't like it, don't buy it" attitude.

I just got my Verizon DVR working about 30 minutes ago (new customer).   The DVR is a Motorola QIP 6416/2006. 

I chose DVR -> Motorola -> Other > Code 1. 

Everything seems to work.  Even the DVR stuff.  I just watched some recorded cartoons (my kids).  I was quite concerned but decided to take a risk, and it seems to be OK.

 I like what I see so far.

I have been running my Slingbox Pro off my Verizon FIOS DRV just fine.  It works both from the LAN and from outside using my Phone over Verizon Wireless.  No problems with channels or watching recorded shows.

To the best of my knowledge, the FIOS DVRs are very similar to the their Motorola cable counterparts.  When I set up the remote I used Motorola 64xx (I forget the exact model number).  There is a 6412 or something that is close enough it works.

I just installed my slingbox to a motorola cable bx QIP2500-2.  It is a regular digital cable box, not HD or DVR.  I get no picture.  The IR is working.  The tv turns on and off and changes channels.  I just have no picture.  Sling Rep told me to ask you guys.  Any ideas?

Also, my service is Verizon FiOS.  (The remote that comes up says Comcast.  Not sure if that is an issue though.)

I called Verizon...They repowered up my cable box.  It is all working fine now!!!

When I got back to town I found the problem to be 2 fold, 1 the software on the QIP 6416 was frozen.  I had to reboot the DVR box(unplug from wall), after the reboot I fiddle around with the IR Blaster.  The IR blaster has to be lined up exaclty perfect, no dust, or no ability to change the channel.  This became so un-reliable that i moved the sling box to the QIP 2500, the IR Blaster can be anywhere near the front and it works perfectly.

The only issues I have now is watching and "On-Demand" video does not work.  The Verizon Box gives an error codes when the selection starts, I get the same results on the local LAN and across WAN.  Never recieve any errors from the slingbox and am always able to watch live TV or a non-HD recording from the DVR. 

I had a couple of problems using all functionality of the remote (Stop button not working) but found that the Motorola brand (not At&t, not Cox, not Comcast) model Other and Code 6 was best.
