Perhaps the FIOS box has a way to set it up for 4:3 or 4:3 Letterbox same as your over the air Digital converter?
BTW, I switched to the over that air broadcast and when I select the zoom option, "set by program," it is squeezed there too so that leads me to believe the TV stations themselves are doing in and wherever Verizon has its antenna and receiving system, it is set that way and sent down to us.
