How to Put a Fios TV on a Timer

For many, the TV in their home helps them fall into a peaceful sleep and lets them know when it is time to wake up. This modern evolution stems from the timer function on the TV itself.



With the innovation of a FIOS TV, a reliable, high-quality way to watch digital programming, one would expect the timer to be a basic component. However, the FIOS remote does not itself have a timer function. Instead, the timer will still need to be programmed through your TV.
