Bootes posted : Since people keep on bringing up Slingbox and Hava/Vulkano, I'd highly suggest a Slingbox over Hava/Vulkano.

The Slingplayer mobile apps aren't free, but they definitely have much better technology for auto limiting the video/audio quality to get it to work on slower internet connections. I've never gotten a smooth stream out of my Hava unless I'm in my home.

Hava also promised a Mac OS X app and actually had stickers on their boxes that it was coming soon. However, they never actually released it. They finally released one when they came up with the Vulkano name, but it doesn't support the older boxes that were promised an app.

prokkos posted : Its actually my biggest complaint and disappointment about FIOS.

They have iPhone/iPad apps, its actually a little convulated in that they have a few apps, some of which open each other to accomplish tasks like scheduling DVR options. But whatever, they accomplish the basic goals of scheduling, listings, etc. They are fairly useless for other tasks like finding a simple listing of On Demand choices that is similar to their TV interface.

But they still have not released an app for live tv viewing, even after announcing it and showing it off 2 years ago. Cable companies, Comcast in particular, have had this for a while. Verizon has made some efforts at least in enabling media companies to use their apps for live viewing, ESPN for example, but have not enabled others like Disney for FIOS customers yet.

Even more frustrating, complaints on Twitter simply get a responce that you should post your suggestions on the Verizon new products message board - as if delivery of a product that everyone else has and Verizon promised years ago, really needs to be a new suggestion. And to top it off, any sort of criticism as to why the app has not yet been delivered on their boards gets deleted with an email warning that you face a ban for inappropriate content.

I'd switch to Comcast if they had a better service offering in my area - but central NJ is still a backwater as far as their system is concerned without even a multi room DVR offering yet.

Flex View On Demand videos and local media should be on tap as well, although it's not clear whether or not any of the options will require an active link to Verizon's fiber or cellular networks to watch. The trial leaves some time to go before we're tuning in through a bedside iPhone 5; even so, it suggests the gap between hope and reality is about to close.

Got tired of waiting too and just got the TiVo Stream. Can now watch any FiOS channel anywhere in the house. Oh, and download any program (not copy-protected) to iPhone or iPad. Verizon better move, or my one FiOS DVR will soon be replaced with a 2nd TiVo.

anon posted : I got tried of waiting for the app myself and invested $99 in a Monsoon Vulkano streamer. Best $99 I have spent. Of course, the problem is that it streams the same feed to all the connected devices, so everyone has to watch the same thing, but I am the only one in the house using it. But I did travel for work recently and it worked great being 1,000 miles from home.

Still would be interested in the FiOS app, but am afraid that the amount of available channels will be limited.

What is taking them so long? I was at my brothers (Optimum) and used the app on my iPad. Worked really well. I could see many uses for it at home. I only have two TVs, 1 DVR, 1 STB and would be nice to be able to watch live TV in the kitchen when eating, or on the porch at night. Come on Verizon, don't let me think about switching to Optimum, please.....

This may be a step in the right direction to providing a full TV streaming app??

Count yourself as lucky if you're getting the Media Manager app working. I've got fatal errors popping up on startup in all three of our installs - 1 in Win7, 1 in Lion and 1 in Tiger. The two OSX installs worked VERY briefly, the Win7 install I don't think EVER worked. I still don't understand why Verizon's implementation of streaming Youtube to a STB requires a PC/Mac client on the LAN, but that's another story.

kjgryz posted : Verizon Wireless made 26 of its live FiOS TV channels available for online streaming on the Xbox 360. In a new report, GigaOM had the chance to sit down and talk to a Verizon representative at CES 2012, who said a similar app would be available for the iPad sometime this year. Verizon originally announced the streaming app about a year ago and a half ago, but the company held back from releasing it. Verizon accredits the hesistance to making sure networks have the same reliability as IPTV services so streams do not crash.

Verizon also rolled out a similar app to Samsung’s connected Blu-Ray players and televisions today. The iPad app will presumably be available free to those who subscribe to Verizon’s FiOS TV service. We look forward to seeing the app land sometime later this year. Obviously, this will only be available for paying FiOS customers.

This was in January???????????

I had a transformer prime before I returned it (hardware issues), but I can say that the Slingbox app work very well on both the prime and the iPad.

However, I want to warn that the other video streaming apps are generally not as good on Android. Especially the WatchESPN app, it's unusable on Android.

I have a Nook Tablet and run Android CM7 on it. The ESPN app works great, as do other streaming apps like HBOGo, Youtube, etc.
