Looks really cool. I'm still upset that Fios isn't available in my area yet :(.

Unless Verizon is a carrier in your area it never will be. I sure wish I could get it I'd drop my cable provider in a second.

I dropped Cablevision for FiOS. I am very happy with it. The internet is really fast. I'll have to check this out. I didn't see it demoed but I hope they integrated the "search" function, because inputting movie titles or names is really a pain using the supplied remote.

Cool they already have a nice DVR app that allows you to program TV shows on your DVR from anywhere :) and now this :) I hope its free (Knowing VZW -_-) and will support every STB and not just the high end ones.

Now they just need to add the ability to stream recorded shows from my multi-room DVR to the phone and we'll be golden.
