What’s the situation with hooking up 2 or more TVs (rooms). Extra cost?

I have the internet but TV isn’t in my area yet.

they told me they would do up to 3 tv’s with existing coax to them for free.

if you need more or need verizon to run coax you have to pay.

Coax goes from the ONT to the router.

So i was all ready to pull the trigger on this, and i find out that it’s not available in my area. The internet is, but not TV… WTF.

Also, I can’t guarantee that i’ll live here for a year… Are you locked into a term, nick?

You just have to pay a cancellation fee if you cancel before the year is up. Same as with a cell phone.

I think it’s only $80 or some shit though. I can’t remember for sure. Either way, they need to start getting Fios TV out to more areas. I’ve been talking to a lot of people lately that can’t get it.

I’d at least get the internet…they are working on Buffalo areas next for TV. I’m guessing in the spring it should be more available.

simple math

downloading a 360 game from RR turbo takes around 45 minutes or so, downloading a Bluray movie takes hours at 30-40 gig per movie

Downloading a 360 game from fios 10 minutes 🙂 Bluray not sure as of yet, but it wont take hours i know that.

Where do you download shit that big from? Do you just find torrents or something?
