Today was the big day.  After almost 2 months wait, today I finally got my FIOS TV and internet hooked up.  This meant 2 things: I finally could watch HDTV on my 42″ Visio HDTV, and I would be able to use the internet more since it would be so much faster than DSL.

Let me just say, FIOS is awesome!  The speed is incredible (I just downloaded 53MB from Microsoft in less than 30 seconds).  Oh, and the HDTV you ask…incredible.  I never thought I would notice the difference as much as you actually do.  I was watching Around the Horn on ESPN and switched over to ESPN HD and OMG the difference is just incredible.  I even called in my wife, who could care less about all things techy (she usually just plays along because a) she loves me and b) she has no other choice), and even she was amazed at the difference.  See the difference between me and her is that she noticed the difference on Days of Our Lives, and I noticed it on ESPN (figures right).  So I have repeatedly made the statement tonight that I am not going to watch anything anymore that is not in HD only to find out that most of my favorite shows on MTV such as Life of Ryan, Rob and Big, and RW/RR Challenge are not broadcast on MTV HD…what the heck is up with that!?  Well, I will watch almost nothing that is not in HD
