Does FIOS transmit any XDS information?  You could run mythbackend with 
-v vbi and see if you get things like callsign or show title during a 
recording/playback.  Otherwise, does FIOS have a "tv guide" type channel 
that you could correlate what you're watching with what is on.  There's 
only so many possibilities I suppose and the content of the program 
should give you some clues...
