Remotes IR or IF

Simple question,  I do not yet have fios but am researching.  Can someone tell me if the set top box remotes are infrared or radio frequency operated.  I want to run two tv,s off of a single settop box but if the remotes are IF that would make it inpractible.  I currently have Dish with one box connected to several tv's that can be operated anywhere in the house by  the same remote controller.  Thanks for your input.

FiOS uses IR remotes only.  Others (including myself) needing multi-room remote functionality use IR repeaters.

You can use the Fios remote control app to control the box and have it connected to two TVs.  I have a TV set up outside in the summer connected to my main box and use the phone app.  Works great.
