Is it True that You Get More SAVINGS and GREAT TV EXPERIENCE with FiOS TV?
Finally, after years of stagnating, our neighborhood finally allowed Verizon’s FIOS TV in. It could be installed only last week though I signed up early this month, thanks to the lot more people waiting for it in my State. We had a 15Mb up/down FIOS connection already. Ten dollars a month is all that the premium service costs. and have found myself very satisfied with it.
Because I currently has Verizon FIOS internet service, connecting my TV was a simple installation. The technician installed the cables by taking my existing coax splitter and splitting the signal before the router. Once inside, the coax splits and goes into all the rooms and then one of the downstream cables connects with the Verizon Internet Router’s Coax. Although the router speaks TCP/IP over RJ-45 to the DVR, it can also hand out IP addresses over Coax to supply the house. (DVR or Digital Video Recorder device) That is also included with the FIOS package.
The DVR can store approximately 17 hours of HD TV or 60 hours of standard TV. (short for Standard Definition) or whatever mix of the two you can take care of. It functions like any other DVR where you can mark every recording to be saved. (not deleted in an automatic manner) or to stay in a life with the latest x recordings. You can choose all shows to include repeats, or only new shows.
As for the cost, the Core Package is only $43 per month right now, and you get different DVR options to choose from including standard, High Def, standard DVR and High Def DVR. For the hours we happen to spend before TV, the amount of over $60 for Cable is short of squander. Premium content providers set the cost they charge the service providers. Therefore, Verizon has to charge the same fee for them as the cable companies do.
We have been very pleased with the results. The STB functions properly, the screen image is wonderful, and I’m very confident that new software and On-Demand movies will be made available from Verizon. With this being only the first time that my area has had access to FiOS TV, I believe they have made an auspicious launch. It is recommended over local cable if you can get it.
