I have fios tv, phone, internet. I really like them except for one issue, if not daily, then every other day the tv picture will occasionally freeze or pixelate. It happens on both tv's and both boxes. I tried to call verizon about it but this recent strike made it impossible to talk to anyone.

We have u-Verse and get the same.
Remember 'snow'/interference in TVs past?
Freezing and pixelation are the digital equivalent.

Depending on how techie you are, or your friends are, you might try borrowing enough cat 5e networking cable to go from the FIOS box to the back of your tv box and see if this solves the problem. After the horrid install FIOS did for my mother, this was what we ended up running. It would take a while for a disused channel to show up before, after it was instant change to any channel, and the freezing went away once the coax was out of the way. I understand some Verizon boxes only have coax, but most have network adapters as well as coax.
