Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner. You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
QAM tuners to record local channels only
This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed. That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

I thought as long as you had a STB and an external USB tuner that is compatible with Windows & Media Center you could record any channel, local and cable?
I was just getting ready to buy these items when I saw your reply and now I just want to double check. I really don't care to use a tuner card unless someone gives me a reason why it's better.
I have a very similar system to what the person above mentioned.
thanks

Without this
CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
you will only get local SD and local HD plus public access channels.
With the cablecard tuner for 3.99 it will unencrypt all national programming.
