<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>So, a few years back Verizon made FIOS available in my area and<br>
they've been marketing it heavily, but I chose to stick with Comcast<br>
due to the fact that they didn't block ports on the internet connect<br>
and that there were a wide variety of channels available without a set<br>
top box which I could get either on analog cable or through clear QAM.<br>
Fast forward to today and Comcast has consistently worked to reduce<br>
the ease of use of their service to the point where I no longer see<br>
any advantage to sticking with them.<br>
<br>
Is Verizon any better? What's the general feel for people on this<br>
list? Is firewire capture from Verizon STB's any more reliable than<br>
with Comcast?<br>
<br>
I really would like a solution that just works with the same<br>
reliability I once had with my PVR-150 and HDHR to get a recording<br>
that I can be reasonably confident will actually happen (and record in<br>
its entirety) when I schedule it and be watchable, including support<br>
for closed captions, preferably in HD when available.<br>

I've had FiOS Internet for the better part of 5 years now, but just recently
switched from Dish Network SD to FiOS TV HD. (The TV service
wasn't available when I first got FiOS Internet!)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

about 1/2 of the locals I can get via ATSC OTA, plus a boatload of 'local'
government/public channels. Since I could get more 'locals' with my
roof-top antenna, and the 'government' channels didn't interest me, I chose to
use the HDHR for ATSC instead. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

in analog as well, but I haven't tried tuning anything to see if there is
anything worthwhile in that range... (Plus I'm spoiled by HD
now!!! Analog SD would be a major step down!) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

order to be able to fit more channels in the limited bandwidth they have
available on Cable. FiOS has much more bandwidth, and doesn't re-compress
the original HD signal, so their HD is absolutely stunning!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
