OnDemand Availability Question

If I were to subscribe to Internet + Local TV only, does Verizon allow you to access OnDemand for the networks (ABC, CBS, etc)?

I know with Cox you have to be subscribed to a higher package in order to get OnDemand access at all.

Thanks.

You need one of Verizon's STB's to access, usually with local only you don't have that and use clear QAM

I would be renting a STB. The online ordering system actually makes you select at least one.

In general VOD is available for the channels to which you are subscribed. Have you asked Verizon your question?

No. I was seeing if any members here had experience with it.

You might post in the Verizon Direct forum. It's easier than calling or chatting.

Thanks much. That'll save on DVR fees.

Which channels will you get using the FiOS Mobile app with a local TV only package? Only a few markets have local channels available on the FiOS Mobile app (I'm not sure about the OP's location) and other channels are not available unless they are in the package to which you are subscribed.
