Upgraded from old DVR package to Quantum TV last night.
I am using my own router and a moca adapter so that the cable boxes can get online for VOD etc.
I couldn't find this last night (and obviously Verizon support at 1am was no help) so I thought I would publish this here.
I swapped my old dvr and boxes for quantum tv (new arris boxes instead of motorola)
I had trouble activating the boxes so here is what I would do if I could do it again.
note that with the arris boxes (quantum tv) the ports are different than before.
unplug all boxes.
Plug in only DVR
Make sure you see dvr in your dhcp leases on your router.
Make a static mapping for the DVR.
Reboot the DVR
ping DVR to make sure it took that static dhcp mapping (you don't want the ip to keep changing on you hence why the static mapping)
Create the follow port forward rules for the DVR
Hopefully you can activate it (this is where i got stuck)
After it is activated repeat the same process for STB1 STB2 etc.
Here is what my current port forwarding rules look like. Note the ports are different.
I had to break out the actiontec to see what ports were being forwarded and then set static mappings on my own router after the fact.
Hopefully this helps someone else since it was a 2 hour process for me to swap routers, reset actiontec, activate dvr, copy settings, set mapping on my router, swap my router back in etc.
VOD works but I haven't tested anything else (I don't care about caller ID.)
Port Forwards:
TCP:
35000 -> 9001 on DVR
35001 -> 9001 on STB1
35002 -> 9001 on STB2
UDP:
63145 -> 63145 on DVR
