Fios
subscribers that have either Fios TV or Fios Internet subscriptions
can easily download the free Fios TV app on their compatible
Samsung Smart devices without requiring a secondary set-top
box (STB).
The
app will offer access to 26 channels at launch, including
CNN, MTV, HBO, TBS, TNT, Food Network and HGTV, based on the
subscribers’ current FiOS TV package. The app also offers
access to more than 20,000 movie and TV show titles available
monthly through FiOS TV’s Flex View, which offers FiOS
customers the ability to buy or rent these titles and watch
them on the TV, PC or mobile device and now compatible Samsung
devices.
Samsung
Electronics America VP of content, product solutions Eric
Anderson said, “TV Everywhere Applications like this
new FiOS TV app push the boundaries of content delivery to
meet consumer demand for more control, choice and access to
their favourite content. By broadening accessibility through
Smart TV applications, Verizon Fios is providing consumers
more flexibility for where they want to locate their Samsung
Smart TV within their home without the need for a set-top
box. This is another example of how Samsung is allowing the
consumer to enhance their home entertainment experience.”
