So i have to have a set top box for FIOS?

[bdee1]

Fios TV just came to my area and I would love to switch from Time Warner Cable, but I have a question. Right now I have Time Warner cable and I have 7 tv's in my house.

Only one of those 7 tv's, only one is a HDTV and has a box on it. the rest are older CRT tvs and we just plug the cable right into the back of it and get the basic channels.

I am wondering if I could do the same thing with Fios or if Fios is more like Satellite where you have to have a set top box for every tv to get any signal at all.

Doe anyone know?

Yes you need a Set Top Box on every TV on Fios.

To be perfectly correct, if your TV has a QAM tuner, you do not need a set top box to receive the *basic* channels (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX). Since you say they are old CRT's they most likely don't have QAM tuners, and you will need set top boxes.
