Our family is at a crossroad, and we need to determine whether FIOS is worth wating for. We have been using Comcast standard TV distribution, and all of the TVs in our house are (analog) cable ready. We are interested in changing our service to include the digital and HD channels. We know we don't want satellite, and we'd prefer not to have a set-top box for anything, but we're willing to endure the box for TV in the living room. I have been asking Verizon when FIOS will be available in our neighborhood for nearly a year now (for internet speed), and I am not pleased with their inability to project a date... so we're considering going with Comcast digital, including internet, digital TV, and phone. I know that with Comcast, the remaining TVs in the house will still pick up analog cable, while the living room gets the digital stuff... minimal intrusion of boxes, and the analog stuff still works. My hope would be that FIOS terminates at the house, and that distribution through the existing cables in the house would operate just like cable, with both analog and digital channels.
I am hoping you can tell me...
1) With FIOS, will all of the remaining analog TVs stop working?
2) With FIOS, willl I need a box for every TV? and if so, will the boxes work for our old analog TVs?
Thanks
