Nice to have the choice, but I can't see burning up my cell data limit.

Re: Fios Mobile App

Have they managed to make it hard to find the Free VOD ?

Its always a game they love to play.

Re: Fios Mobile App offers some live TV away from home

I keep getting the message that they can't verify my subscription to any of the channels. I'm an Ultimate subscriber. Tried my phone and my tablet. Guy I work with had no issues on same wifi.

First day bugs...

This is awesome news, but then I found out there are only a few channels that you watch away from home. I'm not really interested in any of those. Though it did say that more will be added.

I got that too but it worked again as soon as I re-opened the app. I have it running on an HP TouchPad running CyanogenMod 10.1.

How is Jelly Bean on the Touchpad? Do you have a link to the version you used?

What version of Android are you using? It's working fine on all of my Android devices. Try clearing the cache and data and force closing the app, and then re-launch it.

Thanks, I thought that may be it but wanted to be sure. I've considered doing this for months.

Anyone only getting 9 channels to view outside of a Verizon network?

EDIT: Looks like only 9 channels are available according to Verizon's press release.

Yes, this is the first phase of linear channel streaming outside of a home FiOS network....

NFL is present on my tablet. I've found that sometimes the live channels come and go. Usually waiting or a refresh brings then back to the Watch Now - Live TV list.

Yeah, and your battery life. Anyone know what the bitrate is? I'm curious as to how much data these channels are pulling.

For me, this has not shown up as an app in the App Store that needs an update, as of now.

Anyway, Isn't this app a purely iPad app? AFAIK, it has been.

or with the 2.0 update, it is now Optimized for both iOS devices?

Also, has there ever been Free VOD with this app before? if so, I have never seen it.

One for thing: where can we find the Free VOD once we have the update? And how does the outside your FiOS hose work? Will only those 9 or so channels show up, nothing else?

thanks

The app was updated today. It is definitely NOT an IOS (iPad app) only app -- it's been on Android for quite some time and is just only now available on the iPhone.

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling.

Thanks PJL.

I was only referring to iOS devices. sine I do not have an Android device. My bad.

I knew it has never been on the iPhone before.

I think i'll just wait until I see the update in the App Store. Im sure it will be there soon, anyway.

Maybe there are some bugs that they need to fix. That's why its not there. At least for some of us.

But thanks.

It's just like the Amazon Instant App. The new update finally enables Airplay to Apple TV. But a lot of people , including myself, can not use it. It only has Audio.

Thats a Bug Amazon has to fix. But who knows why we can't, even though the app was purely updated just to use that 1 feature.

Yeah, I'm going to wait a day also. I think it will show up as an update tomorrow.

I've been in contact with the development team and there are no new bugs identified at this time. Uninstalling and reinstalling should install the new version 2.0.

If now, we can supposedly access Free VOD titles through this newly updated app, which idk how to access...

Is the Free VOD also accessible through the Samsung TV FiOS App?
