:I was lucky enought to participate in a Verizon FiOS TV marketing focus group earlier this week in Carle Place, Long Island. Here's what I found out:
1. Verizon will be launching FiOS TV to certain towns in Western Nassau including Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington and Roslyn (there may be others) on Sept. 1st.
2. The service will offer 300 channels with 18 sports channels, 3X the number of HD channels that Cablevision currently offers, 1,800 on-demand programs and all of the standard local channels (except stuff like News12 and NY1).
3. They will offer a DVR box that can record up to SIX programs simultaneously and stream video from one room to another if you have multiple DVR boxes.
4. Supposedly, it will be cheaper than cable, but there was NO other info about possible pricing.
That's what I know right now. Hope this helps!
I assume it all depends on getting franchise agreements signed in time, otherwise the plans to launch Sept 1st around here will be delayed. Hope to hear some franchise agreements sometime in the next two months. Sounds promising though, thank you for the information!:D
