What's coming to FiOS TV? Here are some of the exciting new enhancements coming in 2009 that will take your FiOS TV experience to a whole new level.

Enhancements/Features include:

Quick Guide Options - Soon you'll have one click access to some of the most common remote control functions right on you TV screen. Pressing the Options button on your remote control will let you do things like:

The overall score will then be displayed in the movie details in the Interactive Media Guide.

Easier Set-Top Box Activation - New customers or customers upgrading their Set-Top Box, will appreciate the easier activation process that is coming in 2009.
