Verizon has launched its FiOS TV service in Keller, TX, a city 30 miles west of Dallas. FiOS TV is delivered over Verizon's fibre-to-the-premises network. The company says fibre delivers sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming. Service highlights include: a broad collection of all-digital programming and compelling consumer choice – with more than 330 total channels at launch and more on the way, a lead offer with more than 180 digital video and music channels, for USD 39.95 a month, more than 20 high-definition channels, with extraordinary clarity and theatre-quality sound, nearly 600 video-on-demand titles available to customers now, with 1,800 by year-end, a wide range of local and special-interest channels not found on most cable and satellite systems, and an easy-to-use interactive programming guide that integrates HD programming, video-on-demand and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience.
