LG, Verizon Stream 75 Popular TV Channels To LG Smart TV Platform
LG Smart TV
The powerful LG Smart TV platform from LG Electronics is the first to allow Verizon FiOS TV customers to enjoy 75 broadcast channels, serving as a set-top box alternative within the home. The new premium application on LG’s 2012 Smart TVs and Blu-ray Disc players also delivers Verizon FiOS’ on-demand content service, “Flex View.” Verizon customers who subscribe to both FiOS TV and Internet service can access the application via the Smart World section on LG’s Smart TV interface. Among the 75 channels are consumer favorites such as HBO, Food Network, NFL Network, TBS, VH1 and others, offering content for all age groups and preferences. LG Smart TV owners also can access FiOS TV’s Flex View, which offers more than 25,000 on-demand movies and show titles for purchase or rent on any Internet-connected device, whether home on a TV or PC, or on-the-go on a mobile device.
The FiOS TV application is easy to use with the LG Magic Remote, and now it’s even simpler for FiOS subscribers to find the movie or TV show they want to watch. For the first time, Verizon’s FiOS search on LG Smart TVs and Blu-ray players provide search results from a choice of 75 broadcast channels and Flex View content. In addition, parent-friendly features include parental PIN options to restrict mature content and a purchase PIN requirement for authorization of any rental and purchases of on-demand content through the application.
The premium Verizon FiOS application is available on all 2012 LG Smart TV series (LM9600, LM8600, LM7600, LM6700, LM6200, LS5700, PM9700, PM6700 and PM4700) and the BP620 LG connected Blu-ray player. The App is available in LG’s Smart TV Smart World.
