This absolutely is not working.
I have an activation code that I got by enering my phone # on the web page. I am never prompted anywhere to enter this code. When I run the widget it tells me that the was a "network error". When I run the mobile app a box pops up on the TV telling me to register the mobile device. If I go to "remote DVR" setup my phone # is sitting there, telling me it is awaiting activation.
This is not a Verizon phone and not on Fios interent. The phone was connected wirelessly to the Verizon router at all times doing this.
