Don't be so excited about FiOS TV. I was, I have it now, its just ok. DVR is barely ok. The HD selection is weak considering the bandwidth capabilities. The menu guide is a pain and the channel numbers all got changed and their now using FOUR digit channel numbers! uhg. There is no way to view only the channels you have in your package (other than putting every channel in your package as favorites), the guide is not always correct (causing the DVR to record the wrong show) and you have to reboot it like a PC when it locks up. Oh, and Verizon doesn't recommend using the HDMI because it doesn't always work correctly (picture but no sound or sound but no picture) and they are correct. Seriously thinking of switching to DirecTV HD, but keeping FiOS internet of course.
