Were going to keep fios for the internet. What they are charging now for boxes, non DVR even is just insane! and i havent been all to happy with TIVO and HATE the way fios groups channels together. Ive always loved DTV.

Dish is out of the question, i really dislike them and i dont like the hardware either.

6 TVs was my next concern with the genie system...i thought it could only handle the 1 server box and 3 clients simultaneously... There are only 4 of us in the house so maybe its not really an issue?

I'd say not really and issue. Educate them on what to do if four other TV's are on by chance. Of just find an older box you can use as one of the 6.
