How does FIOS provision local channels and 500Meg internet from the ONT?

I'm a long time FIOS customer. Presently 25/25 Internet, 1 POTS line, and TV bundle.  Everything comes out of the ONT on MOCA coax. A splitter sends one coax to the Verizon supplied ActionTec router, another coax to the STB, and a third coax to an additional ActionTec router used as an ethernet jack near the TV.

I want to upgrade to 100/100 or possibly 500/500 internet, and downgrade the TV to local only channels. My very old ONT blew up in a thunderstorm over the winter and the tech upgraded me to a gigabit capable ONT and even went a mile down the street and upgraded my linecard to prep me for higher speed.

So how do local channels and gig speed internet co-exist? I've read that the coax plugs directly into a QAM capable TV without a STB involved. Does Verizon provision the ethernet out the ethernet jack on the ONT and leave the local channels on the coax connector (without running a MOCA protocol?)

All TV  is qam. All internet over 100m is provisioned via Ethernet.
