I'll make one other point - when looking at the fios channel lists, don't go by the national channel list on their website - bring up the one specific to your area. There are a couple reasons: 1) the national list doesn't include, obviously, your locals. 2) they seem to update the regional lists more frequently than the national list, making it more current. 3) there are some contractural restrictions with some channels in some areas. For example, in northern NJ and parts of NY, MSNBC has an exclusive agreement with Comcast/Cablevision - so no other cable provider is able to carry it. Verizon is working on that... but to date they aren't able to.
