Default Is FIOS cable and connectors the same as cable TV?

I will be upgrading my mother-in-law's (the Big Kahunah) TV in a
couple of weeks. Part of the deal is that she is switching from cable
(Charter) to FIOS (Verizon).

Is FIOS from the outside box to internal TVs the same old RG6 and F
connectors? The HDTV connection from box to TV is HDMI, right?

TIA

John

Yes, except with FiOS, each set gets a "cable" box

NO - if you are talking about the outside box.
Yes - if you are talking about the connection between the "cable" box
and the TV, but there should also be a other options.
The FiOS installer will set up the connections for you, depending on
your TV locations, current wiring, phase of the moon, etc
Suggest you start reading in this forum:
