Why doesn't Verizon have a Windows version of the Fios Mobile app? Windows laptops/tablets are becoming more and more popular, yet Verizon refuses to support them. I bought a Surface Pro 4 last year and absolutely love it and would love it even more if I could watch my Fios service on it somehow. Android emulators don't work. I've tried them all. This is a feature people want.

I found all of the post on Verizon's technical forums and bumped them up to the top until the entire front page and then some was all topics about Fios support for Windows. The moderators did not like that, but I felt it proved my point. Said by: But I agree with you, it's ridiculous that you can't easily watch TV on a standard Windows computer. Xfinity actually does a good job with this so I use their site (using a relative's login information) to watch TV on a PC.My assumption is that they are trying to limit ability to capture shows and store. Xfinity is via a web browser correct? I can't say I have found any provider that has a standalone Windows app that allows viewing on a PC.

Verizon My Fios. The newly redesigned My Fios app gives quick 24/7 access to your Verizon Account and Services. My Fios is not just for Fios customers. All customers with Internet, TV, or home phone services from Verizon will be able to access the app.

Plus the fact that so many content providers either have their own apps (not sure how many support windows) or that you can watch via web browser fromt heir site (some with live via provider login).

I mostly use it to watch the Weather Channel since we don't get that anymore on Verizon.

The other thing I do is I have a USB TV tuner with coax plugged in. Of course I can only get the basic channels with that method. I also sometimes use a Slingbox connected to a STB.

The analogous site with Frontier (tv.frontier.com) currently offers 150 channels, including the local channels for our area, when browsing from the home network. I'm not sure what it is off-home network, but it's likely the same subset of channels available through the mobile app for off-home network. The interface is similar to tv.verizon.net. I counted 73 channels off-home network for tv.verizon.net. All channels in the Frontier portal actually stream in the portal itself versus Verizon where some are links to the provider's own streaming site. The web page requires an Active X plugin for Internet Explorer, works with Chrome, and does not work with Edge (which will hopefully change since the site supports Safari and Chrome on a Mac).

The Frontier site currently lacks STB integration for remote control and DVR functionality, but at least you can browse the tv listings and switch to the specific channel (if it's offered as a stream in an app channel of course). I'm hoping this will be added as it was for the app. We do not have the ability to manage the DVR from a separate area of our Frontier portal like (as I recall) we did with Verizon. Only the mobile app provides DVR/Quantum functionality. But the bottom line is that I agree that a true Universal Windows Platform app for Windows (an app that works on a desktop, tablet or mobile device) is what's needed -- for both Verizon, and Frontier.
