Picture this: you’ve just laid out your beach chair and you’re ready to soak up some summer sun when you get a text from your best friend. Your favorite rockstar/ actor/ sports hero is going to be performing live on TV tonight, and you just can’t miss it! Plus, you know everyone on the forums is going to be talking about it.

What can you do?

Well, if you have FiOS TV, you can record the show without having to leave your beach chair. Thanks to a new mobile app from Verizon, you can easily record your favorite shows anytime, anywhere.

There are actually three easy ways you can program your DVR remotely this summer. You can login to MyVerizon.com to search and record your favorite shows from any computer, or you can use your mobile phone by visiting Verizon’s mobile web site or downloading the latest application. You can find all the details on how all three of these options work here: http://www36.verizon.com/fiostv/web/UnProtected/RemoteDVRInfo.aspx

Our community members are already taking advantage of these convenient services…

Have you ever programmed your DVR remotely? Have you tried doing it through your mobile phone yet? We’d love to hear your stories.

Holly,

Great information to pass along to Fios customers.  With the trend of more and more people using 3G Smartphones or Multimedia phones, applications that make life easier is what we want.  I am hoping one day Fios will be available in my community.
