Verizon is rolling out an upgrade for the company's FiOS TV customers that will let them access their home DVR recordings outside of the home, on any mobile device. First spotted by Dave Zatz, Verizon's IMG Software 3.0 will not only let users watch their stored DVR recordings outside the home, but users will be able to watch their full live TV lineup inside the home on mobile devices using the FiOS Mobile app.
Historically, users of the FiOS Mobile app were restricted to a small subset of the overall FiOS TV channels (75, IIRC).
According to users, Verizon recently deployed the update in Syracuse and Buffalo, New York, after already having upgraded users in Harrisburg and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to Verizon, the company hopes to have the IMG software 3.0 update deployed to all FiOS TV customers by mid-December.
The update will be made available to FiOS TV users who have FiOS Quantum TV and use the FiOS Mobile App. This
