LG blu ray players to stream FIOS channels wireless

I am looking to try using a wireless LG blu ray player to stream some channels from FIOS instead of having to purchase additional cable boxes for some bedroom TVs. I can not find the technical requirements I need in a device to get this to work. Is FIOS DLNA compatible? Has anyone found a wireless blu ray player that has had experience with streaming channels from Verizon as is advertised on their website?

In order for a Blu-Ray player to stream video it must have an app for the provider you want to watch. To watch FIOS TV it will need the FIOS TV app. According to the Verizon site Samsung and LG are the only brands that have that app available. But neither Samsung or LG currently showthe FIOS app on their site.

The first link contains support information for LG streaming devices. At the bottom of the page it shows the two currently supported Blu Ray players. You would need to do your own evaluations in regards to the wireles. But right now I have for example, Redbox Instant Beta loaded in my Iphone and it streams Via 3G or Wifi.

The Redbox Beta list of players is not final, as the service is being tested.

Not the same as a BD player, but my X box is streaming those 75 channels with an ethernet cable, and I have not tried it with wireless.

Samsung information is also available from Verizon.

I hope this information is helpful. They may not show it but here are Verizon's listed devices that can download the app from the app stores.

Some other information you may find interesting regarding my visit to the Consumer Electronics Show 2013 with Verizon.

FiOS STBs are not DLNA compliant.
