Just upgraded to Triple Play a few days ago and I have a self-install kit coming. I checked out the instructions for getting everything hooked up online and realized that when the original FiOS install was done around 7 years ago, it was an internet only, provisioned for full ethernet. There is no coax whatsoever. The ONT has ethernet cat5 hooked to it up to the MI424WR router (old model - silver/black with one antenna) and out to my internet devices. So where do I go from here to get FiOS TV and all its features working correctly? I ordered the newest model router to replace the old (discontinued) one and have the self-install kit arriving shortly. I don't have a second router to add to the setup, but I do have coax cable to connect to the ONT and possibly run a feed to the router (or splitters?) Would I have to swap out the ethernet with coax and have them flip the switch on the ONT or can I run coax (video only) from the ONT to the router or splitters to feed to the two STB units that I have arriving and will that give me all the TV features such as VOD and the Program guide and later possible DVR service? What would be the best way to do this?
