Brian,
MOCA confused me. Now I know what it is. No, I've been told nothing
about MOCA. I suppose it could be involved with their FI-TV service,
but I am not investigating the FI-TV piece yet. The only info I have yet
is that there NO Set-Top-Boxes in this service until I select HD
channels. This reads very odd because neither of my current flat screen
tvs have an rj45 interface. So the confusion continues.
ATM, I am just trying to figure out which link-up protocols are used and
whether I can set up my wired router to communicate with the new FIOS
connection (rj45).
Thanks.
Best,
Duncan

I can only tell you what "they" do here.
My FIOS is a single box inside.
That seems to me to be better than one inside and one outside.
(The Optical Link terminates in the basement.)
Mine runs a COAX cable to the WIFI router (supplied)
which I had to have them move from my basement to my
first floor. Too much steel and metal ducting in the basement
for the signal to get upstairs.
They said it had to be Coax to have me ready for TV, if I got it.
All outputs from that are Wireless or CAT5. I feed switches
(and hubs) around the house.
I told the installer he had to use the RJ45 output from the ONT, and after
some convincing he did it. If you're still using the MOCA bs, that sucks :)
