Or, you can use your computer as a DVR but it may prove a clunky solution. Meaning, you program it to record like a VCR and it saves the content to the hard drive instead of a tape. You're looking at between $250 and $300 for one and it's just an overgrown VCR at best.
Magnavox is one of the few companies that still produces them and they aren't cheap. The closest thing to a replacement for one that doesn't include monthly fees (or a _very high_ cost of admission) is a DVD Recorder with a Hard Disk Drive. Get a good antenna for your TV and you're done. TV, if only over the air is good enough for you. You can move your phone to a Vonage/OOMA/VOIP service. The only way to really save money with FIOS by dropping features is if you drop TV and phone service and just maintain the Internet. That alone is a reason to keep Verizon, even if you step down to a package that offers the least amount of content. It's astonishing! We have HBO and Cinemax and even their VOD content is free if you have FIOS. I don't know if you've checked it out but one of the major benefits of FIOS is all of the VOD content that they provide free of charge. Even if you watch just a small amount of TV. My wife and I have FIOS and it's the best out there.
