[IMG] FiOS TV app on Samsung bluray...

What does it actually do?
So it's like a streaming app?
Is it only certain channels, or all channels?
How does it know, does it ask for a login?
This is interesting, depending on how you can watch live tv on it, could be a nice alternative to renting an STB box.

What year is your Samsung Bluray Player? Mine might be too old to get it, I think. Also, I wonder if Samsung TV's have this app, as well. And what was the name of the app? Was it "FiOS TV?"

Finally, does the app Have 26 channels, and 10,000 VOD titles? Or can you watch ALL that you are subscribed to?

Thanks

Wonder if they came to their Galaxy devices?

Mine BluRay is a 2010 C6900, which is 3D. So I doubt that it will receive that app. My 3DTV is 2010 as well, UN55C8000. Both are probably too old technology wise to get it. But here's hoping.

But if anyone can confirm that the FiOS App will work on 2010 models, It would be much appreciated.

Thanks

26 channels? It sounds like those are the same ones available on the Xbox 360.
I wish they would offer VOD instead of streaming channels on these devices. Then I would have a reason to use them.

Doubt it - the app has only been certified with newer 2011 and 2012 models....

That is good to know. I know that I would have never found that out. I def would have thought Only 2012 models of Samsung BluRay Players and TVs were eligible. MAybe my sister can get the TV App then. She has a 2011 TV.

Thanks nycdave

I have the exact same setup. So far, no joy for me.
I also have a 2012 model TV. It doesn't have the FIOS app either. But then my 8000 has HBOGO and the new one doesn't.

A what I can tell, Even though HBO Go is on 2010 and 2011 Samsung Smart TVs, the 2012 models say " Coming soon." As of July 13th.

here is a link to a page I found that has All apps and All TV Brands.

I hope this helps a bit.

I have a 2011 Smart TV from Samsung but I can't find the FiOS TV app listed. Where in the Smart Hub listing did you find it? Is there a category like "video" or "information" that I should be looking under?

so what are the 26 channels on this app?

This is what I could find:
BET HD Boomerang SD
Cartoon Cinemax HD (East)
CNN Comedy Central HD
DIY ESPNews HD
Food Network HD Hallmark Channel
HBO HD (East) HBO 2 HD
HGTV HD HLN
MTV HD MTV2
Nickelodeon HD Nick Jr
Spike HD TBS HD
TCM TNT HD
Travel Channel HD truTV HD
TV Land VH1 HD

Gee Whiz, an App is an App, why can't they make this for Android?

Actually I have written quite a few. Going from iOS to anything I would agree is a climb thanks to Apple's nonsense, but they've already ported it to the XBOX and now some Samsung devices. So it's clearly portable. The brains of it at least. The range of devices on Android makes it make sense.

May depend on who is paying for it.
You think FIOS is paying 100% or is there some split with the device manufacturers?
