Later I got the big flatscreen and the surround sound for the living room and my buddy came over to help me set everything up. Great. All ready to go. I knew the Knicks were on and that was the first thing I went for. No HD...I was so pissed..Ran right to the computer and googled 'MSG HD & Fios' to find out what was up. That's how I found out I got hosed. I mean I just assumed every provider offered the same stuff, you know? Last time I ever assume anything...How's that for not doing your homework... I felt like a member of the Knick scouting department. LOL..

Overall Fios is good, no complaints except for the no MSG in HD. That would've been I deal breaker if only I would've known..

Back in my day all you could do was listen to the game on an old plug-in static radio in your home. You guys are all spoiled today.

Sir, you fail to realize my day stretches from 1863 to present so I've experienced many things in my life.

And yes buddapaw, I still own that. It's a fine piece of machinery.
