Good first effort

But it has a way to go. The problem with Blu-Ray is the media is a total rip, rentals being the only viable way of getting Blu-Ray content. But when you're looking at the rip-off prices of DBS 1080P rentals you're better off with Blockbuster or Netflix, despite Netflix's recent addition of a $1.00 "how dare you want Blu-Ray discs" penalty. Blu-Ray still handily wins (unless you don't have a player of course, which are still pricy themselves).

be interesting to see VZ FIOS's comeback to this...

1080p, near blue ray quality..

It would be interesting to see what Verizon's comments on this would be, are they going to match or exceed the quality and offering?

No. They don't even have enough power to show a guide wide screen.
