HDMI issues with the boxes aren't restricted to Verizon, Comcast's boxes (also provided by Motorolla) are also a problem. The fix is to hard reboot the box by unplugging it and plugging it back in. I blame HDCP.
As for Ohio, I wouldn't hold my breath. I expect that Verizon will continue expanding contiguous service. Hopefully Boston will grant a license soon, but Verizon hasn't run their internet fiber to all sections of the city yet, and I expect that they won't get a license until they do (the area that I'm moving to, Orient Heights, hasn't got either Verizon or RCN fiber to it yet, and RCN already has a license, so I expect that the City wants Verizon to actually run their lines as incentive to get the license instead of cherry picking and leaving everything else to Comcast like RCN did).
They just rolled out the massive block of new channels where I currently live and it's a good assortment. The quantity is competitive with both RCN and Comcast and the internet speeds (what really brings people to the service aside from escaping Comcast) are much higher than any other provider offers in the market.
