Yes I can see ALN running Phyllis and Rhoda for at least a year, they don't change their schedule very often...they are getting rid of the friday airings in March, but that's it....I'm sure you will get another complete run of Phyllis...

as for freezing and tiling blocking, it is a common problem with cable companies (mine more than others) that the picture or audio distorts, it happens because of the digital signal......it's kinda like when before cable & all television signals were analog and you needed a TV attenna to get the best picture, when you got a bad picture the term was a snowy picture....Cable television was all analog until about 5 years ago when analog signals started to switch to digital, the same thing can happen if you have a dirty or scratched DVD and the picture will freeze or lock-up. Then of course in june of 2009, all television stations were converted to digital signals and analog signals were shut down. Hope that makes sense....my best and enjoy watching the shows on FIOS.

Again, thank you so much.

I did have digital cable for the past few years. Some relatives of mine switched to FiOS, and convinced me to do the same this past Christmas. My phone company (Verizon) was offering an incredible deal for a bundle package (phone, TV, internet) if I signed up in February so I did it ($89/mo). I have to say - I'm much happier with FiOs then I was with DC. The quality, the choices, etc - much better than digital.

If anyone has a chance to switch to FiOS, I do recommend it. I don't think you'll be sorry!
