Multi-tuner DVR

Of course I like the Fios two tuner DVR, but almost all the services in my area (Dish, Comcast, Direct TV) have multi-tuner DVRs of 5-8 tuner capability. Is verizon planning newDVR to match this capability? If not in the forseeable future, just say so. Thanks.

The question now is "when" rather than "if."  Look here:

All I could say in January was soon. And it seems as if soon could not be soon enough. I took pictures and posted links. This is the latest rumor I read in May. I believe Verizon wants this to be 100% before it hits the streets. If you follow the links back to the source of information, even though it said, "Verizon has driven a stake in the ground", that did not come from Verizon, but another third party source. Rumor mill? The date is up in the air right now.
