I think that's "Fibe" as in fibre optic.
Can't say I know anything about it, they have been pushing it a lot lately.
I was curious to know exactly how the signal gets delivered to the TV. (I don't want any damn dish on my house, and I don't want them running new wires in my house.)
Apparently, they replace your existing Bell internet modem (assuing you use Bell for your internet provider). They then connect the new modem to your existing co-axial cable (RG-6) in your house. (They have to add filters as well, much like every hard wired phone in your house currently has filters so that you can use the internet and the phone at the same time.)
After that, I'm not sure how it works in terms of utilizting the set, etc.

I did like the fact I could record up to 4 things at once and watch from any room in the house, but the channel line up confused me and I much rather Rogers service over bell.
I believe you are essentially correct. My only warning though is if you plan on switching your internet to them as well, this new Fibe setup actually ends up being slower than the "old Bell" setup as now the line is split to contain both the cable and the internet signal.
