Verizon: We Have No More HDTV Boxes
The telco says they will have to backorder them.

Washington, D.C. (February 5, 2008) -- Verizon's FiOS TV service is telling new customers that it doesn't have any High-Definition set-tops in stock.

That's according to an article by Multichannel News.

The telco, which recently passed the one million subscriber mark, has told customers that it may be a few weeks before it can install a high-def box.

Until then, Multichannel News writes, the company is offering new customers a standard-def DVR for no additional monthly fee.

Verizon tells the publication that it has backordered some HD and HD DVR set-tops to try to catch up with demand.

"
We recently hit our one-millionth customer milestone and the momentum is continuing to build,” a spokeswoman said.
