Haven't you done the math? Didn't I hint in my 20 mb/sec comment?
One ATSC transport stream is 20 mb/sec. FIOS service is 45 mb/sec.
Let's say that a tv channel only uses 1/5 of the transport stream. So, 4
mb/sec for a program stream.
So, you can send 11 simultaneous program streams into a FIOS home with 45
mb/sec service, assuming that you're not doing any Internet over the
connection.
Note: in NO WAY is a 4 mb/sec program stream a HDTV program stream.
What's wrong with this calculation?

We recently had Verizon Fios installed, replacing our DirecTV

remarkable. Fios is fiber to the house, so they have tons of
bandwidth, and they are using it.
The demos I saw of FiOS were all very good indeed.
What's most interesting about FiOS is ... they are providing a very standard
cable TV solution, where the channels are all piped into your home
simultaneously.

OK ,who is correct here? Is it only one channel at a time or can you watch
20 different channels
on 20 different TVs simultaneously with FIOS?
