Sony DVR
Trepidation

I own a Sony DVR model RDR-HX900.  I currently am with Time Warner but have an appt. with Verizon to install FIOS service.  Does anyone know if the Sony will work with the Fios service?  The customer service person gave me 4 different answers. I currently only record lower cable channels on the Sony and would be fine with that limited ability with the FIOS.

The Sony RDR-HX900 is a DVD recorder with a few DVR-like functions.  It only has an analog tuner, so it cannot record directly any channels from Verizon FiOS.  Unlike Time Warner, FiOS has no analog channels.  The Sony can record the SD output from the Verizon set-top box.  I'm not sure whether it can control and change channels on the Verizon set-top box.

If you get Verizon FiOS, I would highly recommend that you opt for their DVR.
