Re: [Need Info] What is TV over IP?

FiOS will eventually become an IPTV service, from what I understand.
Right, that is their direction. However there are no firm plans, it's just "sometime in the future". There are several steps involved, including moving from BPON to GPON, switching out their processing nodes, and replacing everyone's STBs. So I don't think it'll be anytime soon.

It seems to be a very common misconception that FIOS is an IPTV service. It's not and it will not be in the near future. Migration to IPTV is probably years away.

Here's an article I found that explains it pretty well.
