You're probably thinking of the Fios ONT (optical
network terminal) box. That is a constant power
drain, too, but at least it services the telephone and
the internet as well as the TV.
BTW, I am very pleased with the HD picture quality
from Verizon's service. I got us a good 50" DLP TV
recently, and our house is now 100% CRT-free.
