Both the Tivo S3 and the Tivo HD appear to work fine with FIOS TV.

I've had DirecTV for several years (switched from Dish Network), have upgraded my DVRs to larger disks (but never got the MRV working!).
Verizon has just upgraded my neighborhood to Fios and is offering a package of phone, internet and TV that is ~$50/mo cheaper than what I'm now paying for phone, DSL & DirecTV. The old copper phone lines here needed to be replaced 10 years ago, so this part is a welcome upgrade. Also, the internet connection will be almost 10X faster! Has anyone had experience with the Fios TV offering? Their multi room viewing DVR sounds pretty nice (and easy!).
The biggist drawback I see is the small size of their DVR hard drives. Only 80 hours standard & 18 hours HD. I don't have HD yet so 80 hours is semi OK but I presently have ~ 300 hours on my Samsungs. Can these Fios DVRs be upgraded?
Also, Verizon presently only rents their equipment. Is there a source for purchasing compatable DVRs?
Thanks!
