This is the first time I see such "basic basic" service specified: http://www22.verizon.com/Residential/FiOSTV/Plans/Plans.htm Bottom of the page, in the smallest print: "FiOS TV Local service package also available, providing access to local TV channels and community and educational programming for $12.99/month." My FiOS-using office neighbor says this package is transmitted in clear QAM. So, what does anyone guess will happen to this service after the OTA TV channels are taken away?
