OMG I have Fios TV v.review

it sounds cheeper … i pay 55 for phone and 50 for dish … but i dont have interweb :gotme: and i would def pay 50 for the inter web

Yeah, I think I’m going to price out a fios package today after lunch.
Right now, I’m paying:
$91 Dish
$32 Vonage
$35 TW

These are all after taxes/fees, for a total of $158. TW was a promotional price though, so that will eventually go up.

I’m guessing I can price my Fios setup out lower than you because I’d be fine with having the DVR in one room hooked up to my one HDTV.

yes HD?, i checked the channel lineup and didnt see it, hmmmmmm interesting.

As far as the media center, why use fios when u can use the xbox360?, is there something different with the fios one?

JayS: Honestly, you prolly don’t need 20/5 net either. $0.02.

IDK, but I looked at it the other day after you mentioned it here, and it’s in the guide and comes up when I choose that channel. :gotme:

The fios DVR is not a Windows type media center, although it DOES have those capabilities.

It is a media sharing STB in its own right. It is the only DVR in the house, however it can “share” or stream DVR content to any other STB in the house.
Ex: I can record mad money on the DVR in the back of the house and watch it up in the bedroom.

why?

the faster the better :slight_smile:

IIRC he’s not as much of a bandwidth whore as your or I.

ohh lol i might go with the 50/

hahah its not too expensive.

where do i check the channel lineup for fiostv?

Nice. I’m getting mine installed Sunday morning. HD Extreme package and 20/5 internet for $80/month. Free DVR for a year too.

If you call after you’re an existing customer (think: next day) you can get up to 3 digital adapters for free. So I’m using the free DVR on my main TV and the digital adapters for the bedroom and basement.

You oughta look into La Conexion. It looks to be right up your alley. :tup:

wow 20 a month to rent the DVR?

holy shit

lol your such a bitch

:lol: I just know you love everyone, especially Mexicans. :slight_smile:

free for the first 12 months.

Pretty sure I mentioned that in another thread, hence forgot it in this one. Sorry

http://nyspeed.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1088396&postcount=13

Can you get the NHL Center Ice package on it?

IDK.

Not that I’m aware of.

Bump

Just got our Fios installed today. One of the higher TV packages and 20/5 internet.

All I can say is… WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T I SWITCH EARLIER!
The internet is amazingly fast. We have more channels. Quite a few more HD channels. And it’s cheaper than what we were paying for TW. Also, we have a box with every TV so you can access the main DVR which is really nice.

:tup: to Fios. Glad I made the switch.
