I need URGENT advice. I had FIOS TV, internet and phone bundle installed in December 2007 (I still have not received my free TV). I had a 56" HDTV Mitsubishi Diamond, 2001. About a month after I had the Fios installed, the family room where the TV is located started to have nauseating smell of melting electronics. I had to turn off the TV and open the windows. The smell was very strong and made me dizzy. I thought the TV was old and caused the problem, so I replaced it with a new flat screen LCD HD TV. To my complete desperation, the smell continues to appear 10-15 minutes after I turn the TV on.....I called Verizon tech support and they were very rude, and refused to send a technician just because there is some bad smell in my living room. When I asked for a supervisor I was put on hold for a long time, then I was advised that a supervisor will call me back in a few hours. That was 6 days ago....
What in the world can cause this sickening melting electronic smell? I like the Fios "bundle", but what good does it o if I can not turn on the TV? I am concerned for my health and for the safety of the house. Could it be a fire hazard?
I am at the point of calling Verizon again, paying the early cancellation fee and tell them to get their fiber optics cables and equipment out of my house! I already gave away a perfectly good TV because of the Verizon FIOS installation....
