Forums - Microsoft - X1 Verizon FIOS Subscribers App get 74 live TV channels today!

Verizon FiOS TV App Available Now Available For Download On Xbox One

Microsoft today announced the availability of Verizon’s FiOS TV app for Xbox One users. Using this app, FiOS customers can watch live TV through the revolutionary Kinect experience.

Today, our partnership continues to expand with Microsoft as customers who are Xbox Live Gold members and who subscribe to both FiOS TV and Internet service can watch up to 74 live channels through Xbox One using the free FiOS TV app. No additional hardware is required, and customers can integrate their TV experience with voice and gesture commands through Kinect for Xbox One. Just last month, we revealed the results of our FiOS Innovation Index, which surveyed over 900 consumers, asking about their tech and console interests. Nearly two-thirds of our respondents said they want to watch streaming video on their game console. Verizon listened, and now the FiOS TV experience is available right now on your Xbox One!

So now switching from a first person shooter to your personalized Verizon FiOS TV subscription is easier than ever. No matter what you’re doing on Xbox One, just say “Xbox go to Verizon FiOS TV.” It’s playoff season and if you want to watch two big games at the same time you can tap into your Verizon FiOS cable box using HDMI pass through and the TV app for game one and then snap the Verizon FiOS app to watch game 2 at the same time.

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Yes, it wouldn't be something that you could easily work around either.

But I don't they have some sort of arrange ment with FoxCon on the Xbox 360?  Might get one for the Xbox One too.

I wish they would do this for Comcast/Xfinity so I could save $10 by getting rid of my almost useless HD Cable box.



Both Virgin and Sky in the UK are bringing Live TV apps to Xbox One also. My friend is with Virgin and Im with Sky. We both have asked our respective companies.

Virgin said - "All I'll tell you is we love Xbox One and have a great relationship with Microsoft. Watch this space. Yoiu'll know soon. "

Sky said - We already support the 360 with our Sky Go. We will continue to support the Xbox Brand with apps. Our partnership with Microsoft will have big new annuncements in the beginning of the new year. "

Man The Xbox One is a multimedia beast.

So 74 channels are available for free? Already using Verizon, but 74 is a lot for free.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

I'm surpzied they haven't had a $99 Xbox One deal like they did with the 360.  If they add that for Halo or TitanFall it could be something really big.

Perhapse they don't want to feel like a bank.
