Can I get HDTV on FIOS TV?
 
You can get HDTV on Fios. Matter of fact, Fios was built specifically for tomorrows technology. Fios runs on Fiber Optics and we have barely scratched what Fiber Optics is capable of Doing. If all TV stations were brodcasting all programs in HD(High Definition), All Fios programming would be in HD. If you haven't seen HDTV, It is awesome!!
 
The Fios Network is built to specifically carry Digital Signals from the central office to your door (ONT). It is part of the FTTP (Fiber to the Premises) initiative being implemented by the Telecom companies in preparations for a full assult on Cable and Satellite TV. Can't wait! I love a good fight :-) You would only need to obtain an HD ready television and a FiOS TV HD Set Top Box. Currently Fios TV is using The Motorola QIP6200 to deliver HD programming.
 
 
FiOS TV with HDTV programming offers:

** Images up to 5x sharper than regular TV
** Unparalleled picture/sound quality and a wide-screen format
** An expansive and growing list of HDTV channels
** Easy installation from the FiOS TV HD Set Top Box
** Dolby 5.1 digital surround sound



Motorola HD 6200Getting Started with HDTV
To get started with HDTV, you'll need the following:

** HD ready television.
** FiOS TV HD Set Top Box.
 
 
 
 
For those wondering about Packages & Prices. See the below. Sorry had to use the banners but it is easier for them to be updated when prices and packages change.
 
No FiOS at home Yet? No Problem!
For those in areas without Fios, don't despair. You can get in on the fun too. You can get VoiceWing which is Verizon's Broadband Phone service. VoiceWing is a Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) service that offers phone service over a broadband Internet connection like DSL, cable, or Verizon FiOS Internet service connection. You don't have to have Fios to use Voicewing.
 
DSL
You can also get in on Verizon DSL. The speeds are slower than Fios but beats Dial-Up any day! How much do you pay for your DSL or Internet Cable? Check out the DSL package below. Chances are if you have Verizon DSL, you will be the First to know when Fios gets in your Area! At least that was my experience but could have simply been because Fios was new to everyone since I was in one of the first Fios markets
 
FIOS & Fiber Optics
Most major ISP central offices are already connected Via Fiber (this is not a fact) you will have to check with your Local office to verify this. They only need to run Fiber from the central office to your house to complete the Fiber loop! Fios is way ahead of the game compared to other ISP's. Typically you get Fios Internet first and as soon as they get a Video Franchise in your community, Fios TV Baby! Caution, Depending on your community, Video Franchises can take a long time finalize. It all depends on the politicians in your town and how hard your Local cable company fights to keep competition out. Read about it in the Is Fios in My town Article
 
FiOS TV
 100% Digital TV will be streaming down that new FIBER Optics Cable to your door step. Using the new MOCA Technology, it is possible to distribute TV, Internet and Phone through out your House. You can really take advantage of this if you use Media Manager-Read Verizon Unveils Home Media Digital Video Recorder for more info. You think you have seen Digital TV?? Wait till you get a hold of this baby. Even on my Non HD TV the picture is Mucho Clear!
 
From most reviews people say they see a significant improvement in picture quality when switching to Fios. Now that may or may not be because of the technology used to compress your Video. Jury still out on that :-) Important Note, to experience full HDTV, you will need an HDTV Television and an HD Set Top Box. Fios TV uses the Motorola QIP6200 HD FiOS TV Box as their basic HD Set Top Box. They also offer other STB's. You can read all about Fios Equipment in FiOS Routers & TV Boxes
 
TRIVIA
Did you know that by the time Fios started rolling out the US was placed 13th in the world when it comes to FTTP/FTTH (Fiber to the Premises) Technology?!!!!!
 
Do you know what company in the US has a plan and a little bit of money to change all that is?? You guessed it; just happens to be the only company in the US providing Fiber to the Home en Mass. ....Verizon. Key Word en Mass.... They have set aside $18 Billion to get you into the 21st century and catch up with the rest of the world. Put you back in the group of Developing Countries!
 
Verizon is the Only US Company to partner with Several Asian Companies to lay Fiber cable connecting the US mainland to Asia! Read about it here...Verizon and Asia-pacific Consortium to build Fiber Optics Trans-Pacific Express
 
Check FiOS Availability
For the folks who don't have Fios in their area yet, you can get Verizon DSL Now then sit back and wait for Fios Internet, Fios TV and Fios Phone to knock at your Door. Using your Phone or Home address, you can check in from time to time to see if Fios has arrived at your door. You can do it here... Verizon FiOS Internet Service. Voicewing Broadband Phone can be used with any broadband connection not just Fios. You can use it on DSL, Cable or Fios. The banners below will give you an Idea of what each service will cost per month. You can also click each banner to check availability.

Where can I find more info on the fios HD set top box?


    Random Pick
Residents of the Erie County towns of Amherst and Hamburg, and the Nassau County village of Lawrence are a major step closer to having a real choice for their cable television service, thanks to newly approved agreements authorizing Verizon to offer its FiOS TV service, delivered over the most advanced fiber-optic network straight to customers' homes.

The Amherst Town Board granted a video a franchise to Verizon Monday (June 16), paving the way for video choice in the community.
