Verizon FIOS has a lot of great features, but their set-top boxes have one obnoxious flaw: Whenever you haven’t used them in a while, they load annoying widget ads that take forever to load and require exiting out of. Here’s how to disable them.

Verizon FIOS具有许多出色的功能，但是它们的机顶盒存在一个令人讨厌的缺陷：只要您有一段时间不使用它们，它们就会加载烦人的小部件广告，这些广告需要永久加载，并且需要退出。 禁用它们的方法如下。

We wouldn’t even have such a problem with it — we’re an ad-supported site, after all — but these ads can sometimes take a minute to load, and the set-top box locks up and won’t respond while trying to load the ads. They make using the box a serious pain.

我们甚至都不会遇到这样的问题-毕竟我们是一个受广告支持的网站-但是这些广告有时可能需要一分钟的时间加载，并且机顶盒会锁定并且在尝试时不会响应加载广告。 他们使使用盒子非常痛苦。

It’s worth noting that if you have a Netflix subscription you can watch House of Cards without paying extra for it. And they’ve got season 3. So why would you pay for it from Verizon?

值得注意的是，如果您有Netflix订阅，则可以观看“纸牌屋”而无需支付额外费用。 而且他们已经有了第3季。那您为什么要从Verizon支付费用呢？

禁用FIOS小部件广告 (Disabling the FIOS Widget Ads)

To disable the ads, assuming you didn’t hit the Options button when they showed up, just head into Settings using the settings button on your remote. Head to Notifications on the right-hand side.

要禁用广告，假设您没有在广告显示时点击“选项”按钮，只需使用遥控器上的“设置”按钮进入“设置”即可。 转到右侧的通知。

Once there, go to Promotions.

到达那里后，转到促销。

And then you can switch the Promotions feature from Enable to Disable.

然后，您可以将促销功能从启用切换为禁用。

We’ve found that the entire box performs a lot better when it’s not trying to check for ads all the time.

我们发现，如果不一直尝试检查广告，则整个框的效果会更好。
