Two issues chat with Verizon and Netflix

[MikeOB]

I have been trying to use Verizon chat for the last few days but it is always busy and now I do not even get the option.  Everytime I sign in through my computer to my FIOS account, I have to reset my password.  The other issue is that I have been trying to figure out how to get netflix through my set top.  Netflix told me there should be an app on the verizon set top box, but I do not see it.

There is currently no app on FIOS STB that supports Netflix.

Not sure why Netflix told you that.

I think the original poster is confusing set top box, with app on certain television brands.

Go To Bing or Google ad ask: "Is there a way to make Netflix available to my TV without some separate device?" See if one of the responses will help. Without going into a detailed Q&A with you about your installation, this is probably the best way for you to find a solution that will work with you.

Hi MikeOB:

Do not attempt to connect data devices without contacting your service provider.

Advanced data features require the proper application and network infrastructure to operate.

Data Features

In addition to high-quality audio and video, the QIP receiver has the capability to deliver high-speed data services such as Internet access, e-mail, IP telephony, e-commerce, and home banking.

Your QIP receiver may be equipped with the interface connections illustrated, but their functionality depends on the services offered by your service provider

There is no need to mess with STB or any other Verizon devices.

Go out and get a ROKU from Walmart, Best Buy, Target etc. the stick is less than $50. Or get a Apple TV device at $145 from the Apple Store (Not necessary) or even a Google Chrome stick at $25 will pick up the wifi signal to the home network. Simply use the login password for your home network wifi.

No need to change anything, no need for convoluted setup schemas. 

The service like netflix must be subscribed to prior to placing on the TV.

Many tv's have Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Acorn TV as an app within the tv so there would not be a need to buy any external device.
