FiOS TV
From FiOSWiki
With traditional digital cable TV, all available channels must be delivered to a subscriber's home simultaneously, so the information must be greatly compressed. This can result in "compression artifacts," usually visible as squares that "freeze up" during broadcast.
Because of the speed of FiOS, customers receive one channel at a time, so there is much less compression, but there is still practically no delay when changing channels. Because the information is less compressed, FiOS is capable of much higher picture quality, more vivid color and flawless sound.
Besides traditional broadcast and cable channels, FiOS TV also offers thousands of On Demand programs, a growing list of HD channels with Dolby 5.1 surround sound and Home Media DVR.
