For reference sake, if you build an order for FIOS TV without and package discounts (including phone, etc) it is:

My example is: two HD tvs & one SD tv

$47.99 - TV Essentials 200 channels + all digital channels & HD  
$5.99 - SD STB  
$9.99 - HD STB ($4 discount makes it $5.99)  
_$19.99 - Media Center DVR (free for 12 months)_  
**$83.96** / month gross -or- **$59.97** / month net for the first year after discounts.

One time fees:  
$19.99 - activation fee (waived when ordered online)

altho I think it is safe to assume that you need to have FIOS internet service to have FIOS televison as the Actiontec router & ONT are required for both.
