I thought the R5000 was only for satellite systems? I could be wrong, I don't have one, but I'm pretty sure that's what it's for.

The R5000 is for any STB that does not have a firewire port. I have Fios and the R5000 is installed in my Motorola DCT2000 STB. As long as the STB does not have a firewire port, the R5000 can be installed in that STB.

I stand corrected, thanks for the info! I'm having FiOS installed on Tuesday (Can't wait!!!!) Did you buy your STB off Ebay or something or direct from nextcom?

Are you happy with the r5000? How fast is the channel changing?
