    Anywhere we can "see" what FIOS TV looks like?

    I am in the Tampa Bay area. Does anyone know if Verizon has a booth or store or someplace where I can go take a look at FIOS TV before I decide to switch? I remember when I lived in NY and Cablevision came out with HD for the first time they set up demo "kiosks" in the local mall to show it...

    (Rumor) Verizon CableCard and other news):

    Hey at least you got a response. I've emailed the Pasco County, FL commissioners and the county administrator several times and I'm still waiting for a response. I don't think these people even know what e-mail is...:eek:

    World Baseball Classic - No ESPN Deportes on D*???

    Anyone who has D* and was expecting to watch the World Baseball Classic games live with the Latin countries (Dominican, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Panama) will have to resort to recording the re-runs that will air between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM on ESPN/ESPN2. All the live games will be...

    Directv or Verizon FIOS

    This is incorrect. You do not have to wire your house with fiber to use FiOS. You can use your existing coax cable wiring in your house. FiOS is actually FTTP (Fiber to the premises), in other words, Verizon runs fiber to your house, and then it is connected to an ONT which takes the optical...

    (Rumor) Verizon CableCard and other news):

    I guess this means by the time Verizon supports CableCard 2.0, the Series III Tivo should be out also...that would be a sweet combination.

    DirecTV -- utter garbage (plea for help)

    Welcome to the world of HD-Lite! Right now, your best bet for HD PQ is to put up an OTA.

    ANOTHER religious channel

    Good post joe. I totally agree with the "lead by example" comment. People need to be sure that those who they follow are practicing what they preach. It's also been my experience that God always has a way with dealing with those "ministers" that try to come off as "super christians" or...

    FIOS TV in Pasco County, FL

    For those of us who are in Pasco and green with envy because Hillsborough just approved Verizon's permit, here's some info I got from the folks at Verizon:Verizon is currently in talks with the County Administrator John Gallagher, but they have not progressed to the point where they can present...

    YES Network ?

    I'm not sure I'm making the connection between YES and the NBC-HD East signal but here goes...the national NBC-HD signal is NOT on a spot beam (it's national). If you subscribe to MLB EI, you will get all live games (that's the whole point of EI, to allow fans of say, the Yankees, to watch...

    MPEG4 HD DVR and Home Media Center news:

    That's one of the reasons I am taking a good look at Verizon's FIOS offering (which will soon be available in my area). The other main reason is that if the new HD DVR is anything like the R15, then it will SUCK big-time (IMO).

    How to contact MLB to get OTA on EI

    If you find out who to contact, add the Yankees games to that list. The WWOR (UPN9) games in New York are not carried on MLB EI.

    YES Network ?

    Just to clarify on the EI programming, the EI channel that carries the Yankees game (usually channels in the 734-760 range), will be the YES feed when the game is at Yankee Stadium. If it's an away game, you'll get the home team's channel feed (which sucks for the Boston games because I can't...

    YES Network ?

    If you live outside the NY area, there are only two ways to see the Yankees on D*: 1. Subscribe to the MLB Extra Innings package (and even then you won't get the Friday night home games which are exclusive to UPN Channel 9). --or-- 2. "Move" your service address to a NY address (but that...
