Does the DVR have any external ports to save recordings to e-sata
drives? or network computers?
Once it is on coax will any digital tuner work or do you need a
Verizon Box?

I can't answer about the DVR, but once your house coax is connected
to the FIOS box, your signal will be all digital. You will need a
Verizon
box to get most of your subscribed cable channels. Any other digital
tuner will at best get only the unencrypted channels available in
ClearQAM, which consists mostly of the channels that are also broadcast
locally and the audio-only channels provided by Music Choice and Urge.
You would have to check your tuner to see what kind of signals it can
receive.
At a minimum, you'll probably want a standard set top box for your
primary TV, because the online guide is really helpful, and you may
also want the VOD and other interactive features. For secondary TVs,
you might be satisfied with a digital adapter, which does not have the
online channel guide or any interactive features, but does let you tune
into all of the SD cable channels. It goes for $3.99/mo. If you have
something that will take a CableCard, I believe that you can get one of
those from Verizon as well.
