HD Non-DVR STB Question

[HDTVFanAtic]

Can someone please tell me which Motorola HD-STB that FIOS uses when one does not use the FIOS HD-DVR?

Does this have a firewire and DVI/HDMI port?

I have searched the thread and it seems every post I could find referenced the HD DVR - not the standalone STB.

Here is a link with the answers you require: http://www.fioscentral.com/article/motorola-qip2500-sd-fios-tv-box-376-1.html

In short the QIP2500 does not have DVI/HDMI capability (digital only box). If you are looking for HD with no DVR it is not available. http://www.fioscentral.com/article/motorola-qip6200-hd-fios-tv-box-403-1.html

BTW: Lots of information on this page for people thinking about FIOS. Make sure to click the links as this site truncates them.

HD Box is available

If you are looking for HD with no DVR it is not available.

Wow - then how do I have an HD non-DVR set top box right now?
It's equivalent to the 6200 HD box Comcast uses.

It does have HDMI and Firewire ports on the back.

This is the $9.99/mo box.

Thats kinda the kicker. there is no HD non-DVR model. Yes, it has HDMI but I am told that the composite with a composite HD output is a better choice for quality. I have not tested this myself.

Garland - What are you saying?

I have an HD non-DVR box - but yet you keep saying there is no HD non-DVR model. Are you listening to me?
