Will VErizon FIOS, on glass cable instead of co-zx, be broadcast on
the same frequencies as cable TV?

That is, will TV's and DVD recorders be able to use the same methods,
settings etc. to tune in FIOS tv as they use for cable tv.


Or will FIOS be like satellite, which I gather has to use its own box,
since none of the instructions for digital DVD-recorders and
televisions refer to connecting the satellite lead directly to the
recorder or tv?

But the dvd-recorder manuals do refer to setting the channels for an
antenna or cable.

If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)
