MORE INTERNET ACCESS THROUGH YOUR CABLE BOX

Status: In Progress
by IMNYF1NEST on ‎09-08-2010 04:30 PM

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF FIOS OFFERED A WAY TO ACCESS INTERNET SITES.  I WOLD LOVE TO GET TO MY SHUTTERFLY, AOL, ITUNES, WORK EMAIL AND OTHER THINGS WHILE I AM WATCHING A PROGRAM OR IN BETWEEN SHOWS..............MAYBE EVEN AN OPTIONAL WIRELESS KEYBOARD

Status: In Progress
Two ideas (more Internet content in progress / wireless keyboard option already exists) More Internet content is definitely on the way. You can use a smart phone and the FiOS Remote app to get that QWERTY keyboard if you have an Android or iOS device....

This needs to be achieved without the use of my PC.  Content > FiOS STB > TV. No PC needed!

Tivo has the new optional remote with the slide out keyboard. I have not paid for one, but if a STB were to have a browser with that, and a pointer like a Wi, Verizon would kick. It would probably violate to many patents.

A lot of the newer tv's, as well as other media devices, are internet enabled.  I can watch You Tube and other sites directly from my Apple TV or my Sony Bravia.  My BD player is also net enabled.  However, if my FIOS STB had a browser function, that would be fantastic.  But I guess this would mean that my HDPC wouldn't really be needed anymore...

Watching a limited amount of content or viewing only a limited about of content is not the same as having a browser built in where you can view what ever you wish. I mean TiVOs are built on Linux, you mean to tell me the existing systems could not support a web browser. If not shame on them. I know CPUs cost next to nothing now. Perhaps adding another $50 to a DVR would cut profit margins.

Be nice if there was a browser built in.  Our Wii has a built in browser.  Its basic but something the kids like to use.

I would love to have Netflix streaming through my STB. While it may seem counter to Verizon's business plans, I feel that if I can stream Netflix movies to my PC via FIOS internet access, I should be able to stream it to my TV without having to put a PC in the living room.

I'd love this too!

I agree, only if I turn on and turn off that setting.
