Verizon's FIOS TV

"I'm starting to write a report on IPTV in the US, and so have naturally been increasingly interested in what Verizon's going to deliver with its FIOS service. Based on a focus group, this guy reports on the order of 300 channels, 3X more HD channels than Cablevision, and, wildest of all, a DVR capable of recording 6 channels at once and doing multi-room streaming to other set tops. And all this at a price to be cheaper than cable. And a 1 September launch date in certain towns on Long Island."

I get around that many channels already, but all the HD content sounds really great and the 6 simultaneous channel DVR (not that I would probably ever have use to records that many channels at the same time) and the ability to stream all around the house sounds extremely sweet. Of course, I imagine that most of us won't be seeing this any time in the near future.
