watching tv on my computer

Can I watch TV on my computer with Fios internet? Is it free and how do I do that?

If you have not subscribed to FiOS TV service, you can only watch what is available on particular websites.

And further, even if you do subscribe, you will have problems viewing on your computer.  Many of the content provider sites e.g, HBO will allow you to have access if you subscribe to them via Verizon, but not all even have a viewing site or allow "Verizon Subscriber" access.

For users with Verizon Quantum service an app exists for android and Apple IOS that allows access to your content, but this app is not available for PC's.

The short answer is no.  And it infuriatesme that Verizon NEVER gives you a straight answer.   You cannot watch TV on your computer exactly how you would if you were using your set top box on your TV.   You can set things to record from your computer, you can watch some On Demand stuff.  But you cannot watch Live TV.  Plain and simple.
