Has anyone connected an external DVR to their system?

It seems that to get more DVR storage Verizon wants a large upgrade fee. We already pay a large rental fee per month so has anyone had success adapting their own DVR to the system?

What is meant by "an external DVR" or "their own DVR"?  Are you referring to either Tivo or to a media center PC, perhaps?

I have used a DVD recorder to record content.

You can do the same with any device that can record content from an STB as long as it has inputs compatible with output of STB (COAX, composite, component, HDMI depending on type of STB).

If you want to record without STB, you need device that can handle clear qam for local channels or will accept cable card (that you would rent from FIOS) for others.
