Sorta :)

Fibe is an IPTV service, so the TV comes over the interwebs. I was actually
shocked to discover that Ethernet port works to just connect up a computer,
but oh well... :)

There is ALSO a modem provided; it's downstairs in the basement. It seems
to bring the signal in on the phone line, and then distributes (at least
the TV packets) through coax. It's kind of a weird setup :)

Hm, I know I searched the list (and elsewhere) before initially posting. I
don't recall seeing that message :(

I  don't think I did try those, because I had trouble finding them
previously... I'll give them a try hopefully tonight...
