FiOS requires all TV's to have a box as well, otherwise you get nada. I left Dolan-vision for FiOS a few years ago. I wouldn't go back if they offered me FREE service. FiOS really is THAT much better. Plus, NHL Network comes as part of your cable package. If I'm not mistaken, Dolan-vision still makes you add a sports package. Yes, it's cheap, but free > cheap any day.
