Elegibilidad
-
Who is eligible to use their own streaming devices to connect to Fios TV content?
In order to choose to use your own streaming device as a connection for Fios TV content in place of a traditional set-top box, both new and existing Fios TV subscribers must:
- Be subscribed to both a Mix and Match TV and Internet Package
- Have at least one installed Verizon Media Server or Fios TV One set-top box
- Have a Fios Quantum Gateway Router or Fios Router. Note non-Verizon routers cannot access all channels or manage and stream DVR recordings through the Fios TV Home app.
How can I get access to use my own streaming devices instead of set-top boxes?
If you're eligible to use your own streaming devices in place of set-top boxes, you must select the number of your own streaming devices you wish to use when ordering new TV services or changing your TV connection / equipment selections if already subscribed.
Can I use the Fios TV Home app on any of my own streaming devices?
If you choose a service package that allows you to connect 1 or 2 compatible streaming devices, you will have to authorize each individual device for use. You may switch which devices are authorized for use at any time, but an individual device may only be authorized up to twice per calendar month. Devices that are unauthorized are unable to view content.
If you choose to use an unlimited number of your own devices as part of your service package, you will not have to authorize any individual device. You will be able to view content on any device with your Verizon username and password.
Note streaming devices support a maximum of two (2) active Linear (non-VOD) video streams at one time.
Can I use my own devices without any set-top boxes?
At this time, we require that customers have at least one Verizon Media Server or Fios TV One set-top box in order to be able to use their own devices.

Managing TV Connections
-
How do I see what I'm being billed for?
You will see your TV Connection selections, as well as how you've chosen to connect those TVs on the Equipment portion of your bill. If you've selected to use an unlimited number of TV connections as a part of your service package, you will see this as a separate line item, in addition to the Fios TV Connections you've chosen to use with Set-Top Boxes.
How can I use my own device instead of a set-top box I already have in my home?
If you'd prefer to use your own device in place of an existing additional Set-Top Box in your home, you may log into your account online or contact customer service to request to do so. You may be required to update your service package and other equipment (additional fees may apply) and you will be required to return your Set-Top Box. If you do not return your Set-Top Box within 30 days, you may be charged an Unreturned Equipment Charge. Once your order is complete, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to start watching content on your own device(s).
Note you must always have at least one Verizon Media Server or Fios TV One set-top box, and this option is limited only to Mix and Match subscribers.
How do I receive a set-top box instead of using my own device?
If you no longer wish to view content via your own device and would prefer a set-top box be provided to you, you may log into your account online or contact customer service to request one. You may be required to update your service package and other equipment (additional fees may apply).
