More Savings with FiOS TV Specials
Installation to connect my TV was a breeze because I currently had internet with Verizon FIOS. He was able to utilize the Coax splitter I already had in place, splitting the wire leading to the router. The coax cable laid outside, gets split as they enter your house, spread to all your rooms and in the process a downstream cable gets into the Coax connector of Verizon Internet Router. Although the router speaks TCP/IP over RJ-45 to the DVR, it can also hand out IP addresses over Coax to supply the house. (DVR or Digital Video Recorder device) that comes included along with your FiOS TV bundle.
The DVR can store approximately 17 hours of HD TV or 60 hours of standard TV. (standard definition, not HD) or whichever combination of options you choose. Like with the majority of DVR devices, it is possible to adjust every recording as “protected”. It is not deleted automatically. or to stay in a life with the latest x recordings. It’s possible to choose just the latest programs, or every show, with reruns included.
The price for core package is 43$ a month. For this you get several DVR options ranging from standard HD, standard DVR and HD DVR. For the hours we happen to spend before TV, the amount of over $60 for Cable is short of squander. Premium content providers set the cost they charge the service providers. Therefore, Verizon has to charge the same fee for them as the cable companies do.
We have been very pleased with the results. The STB functions properly, the screen image is wonderful, and I’m very confident that new software and On-Demand movies will be made available from Verizon. With this being only the first time that my area has had access to FIOS TV, I believe they have made an auspicious launch. I feel that local cable does not compete with this service.
