Forget to set your DVR for the big finale, latest reality-TV train wreck, or daytime TV confessional? FiOS TV DVR customers are in luck. Any Verizon FiOS TV customer will now be able to remotely program their DVRs from the Web, while Home Media DVR customers will also be able to do the same from any Internet-enabled cell phones.
Verizon introduced remote DVR programming in January for subscribers of Home Media DVR, which lets users watch shows they've taped on up to six TVs throughout the house. Those Home Media customers were also able to program their DVRs via using the Verizon Wireless LG EnV2, LG Chocolate 2, or LG Voyager handsets.
Verizon is now expanding Web-based DVR programming to all FiOS TV DVR customers, and allowing Home Media customers also program their machines from any cell phone with a data plan, not just Verizon-based handsets.
wireless application for Home Media DVR subscribers is available at http://m.verizon.com/tv from phones with a data plan.

Nice feature for FiOS users. I have such a feature for the DVR I have at home. However, the company I work for blocks the web site I need for remote programming. They also forbid cellphones in the area of the building I work in. The FiOS remote recording site is not blocked - yet. Something to keep in mind.
