Apparently some set-top boxes provided by satellite companies accept a serial connection from the TiVo by which they can be tuned. Why satellite supports this, but not cable, I don't know (some subtle difference in the business model?).
I don't know about FiOS, however I believe the DVR comes automatically with FiOS service, so maybe then using a TiVo would be a waste.
