I switched over a few years ago and have not regretted moving over to FIOS. I'm not a big Ranger or Knick fan, so losing MSG was not a big deal to me. While the HD quality is very comparable between the two, FIOS's SD channels are a far cut better than Cablevision (there are still a couple of SD...

I can't compare with Dish but, I switched from cable where the SD quality was very poor. Most SD channels had a lot pixelation on my 720p TV. FIOS SD signal is far superior and I can't imagine you being disappointed with it.

As an ex-Cablevision customer who switched to FIOS, I do not ever regret making the switch. When I was with Cablevision, I was lucky to get download speeds of 6-8 Mbs, so that's literally half of their advertised speed (I was on the 15/2 plan). With FIOS it is rare when I don't get the full 20...

Yes I did have a router setup to it but it was the OOL service. First thing I always had my wife do was check the cable modem router. Sure enough, the lights were blinking on it, so it was a problem on their end.

You must have been in a better area than me. My wife works from home and uses the internet throughout the day, she complains to me about all their outages.

I've got to laugh at this being an ex CV customer. Jump on the FIOS bandwagon like I did. Not only are their internet speeds faster; more importantly, FIOS' reliability is a whole lot better than CV. In the year that I have had FIOS, I have had ZERO internet outages. I was lucky to go a month or...

It really doesn't take that long to do a side by side, took me maybe a half hour. Just remember to compare the channels from the same packages you are interested. For me, the channel lineups were very similar between CV and FIOS. It was the PQ, the stupid channel lag on CV, and the better HD...

You will have to compare them yourself. I did this when comparing Cablevision to Verizon's channel lineup. Print out copies of both channel lineups and do it the old school method. Use a highlighter to cross off channels that both providers carry. Then at the end, whichever channels are not...

You can try putting in an amplifier before the coax splits off into your house.

Yes, it's about 5% of space for a 1 hour HD show.

I didn't get any hassles at all when canceling. I just walked into the store with my setops and said buh-bye.

I switched from CV about 8 months ago and have no complaints with the FIOS service. The internet speeds are a lot faster. When Verizon says you get 20 Mb, you get the full 20. Unlike Cablevision, where their speeds were a purported 15 Mb, in reality you got 6-8 Mb at best. The HD quality of the...

Verizon offers a lot of VOD movies. The more movie packages you sign up for, the more VOD choices you have. While the choices are many, I have to say the selection is mediocre. I don't remember seeing any HD VOD content. Most of the VOD movies are free, there are a few of the newer releases...

Verizon's 10/2 is faster than Cablevision's 15/2. Even though on paper it's faster, I never got more than 8 or 9 Mbs from Optonline. When Verizon says 10, you get 10. Zerkon, in case you didn't know, the multi-room DVR cannot transmit HD recorded quality shows to other setup boxes. If watching...

Not NY again...

Nothing in NY yet. :(

I've had FIOS TV for over a month now and love the PQ. The SD channels are comparable to digital cable quality. With cable, some of the SD channels were pixelated on my HDTV. But with FIOS, everything is picture perfect. HD on FIOS may be slightly better but the biggest difference is in the SD...

My experience with the fluctuating audio levels is that the HD channels are alot louder than the other channels. If you were watching a SD channel, be prepared for a large volume increase if you suddenly switch to an HD channel. One other thing about the PQ from CV, if you have a good TV, the...

Thanks Ken, so even if I have the HD DVR, shows recorded in SD will be able to be viewed in another room.

Bit off topic but this caught my eye. I just called VZ yesterday to get price quotes for the comparable service I have from CV. Are you saying the multiroom viewing does not work if you record HD shows?

It could take longer than that. They installed fiber in my neighborhood in late spring and are still not offering FIOS TV service yet.

I do not see YES HD in the channel guide pdf for the NY area, is this available yet?

It's probably the update to upgrade their IO software on the setop boxes. Makes load times faster than before. No more waiting endlessly when you hit that IO button.

Maybe you have your Set:Picture Format on Pass-Through. I had mine set to this and everytime I changed the channel to a different picture format, it would take a few seconds to recalibrate. For example, if the show I am currently watching is in 480p and I tune into a HD channel at 1080i, it...

Yes inquiring minds want to know !! How is the picture quality compared to cable ?
