No pictures of the TV service equipment?
I guess it would look the same except an additional coax cable.
I wonder if each STB needs a home run or if you can split like cable.

The ONT only has one coax connection, so evidently you have to use splitters for multiple tv hookups........unless the set top boxes are daisy chained(hooked up in series).

Someone living in the Temple Terrece area, or Keller TX, that has FIOS TV should be able to help us with that question.

There's a good thread over on the AVS forum that covers the subject of splitting the FIOS tv signal(same splitters as cable or off-air), pricing(lease/mo) of the various STBs, and other topics:

They just run a cable from the ONT into in most cases your attic which connects into a standard splitter. If you have cable TV service good chances are you have a splitter in the attic which is connected to all your rooms cables via the splitters outputs. Also most likely the cable company has one cable from their box outside your house that goes into the input of that splitter. In simple terms all Verizon would need todo is unplug that cable companies cable from the input of the splitter and run their own coax cable from again the input of that splitter into their ONT video output.
If you currently have FIOS Internet service it will only take about 5-10 minutes max to hook that cable up.
