Roku won't connect through FiOS. You will connect the Roku directly to the TV with a separate HDMI cable.
You can use your roku to watch content from provider apps using your Verizon login.
But no app like FiOS app that works on mobile devices.
Just found out Xfinity will connect with Roku. Suggested by Comcast rep when I was pricing their service. He suggested using Roku to eliminate 1 or 2 of the boxes I want when I switch from Fios. Lowers the monthly cost another $20. Another good reason Xfinity is starting to look like the better deal.
I've used the Xfinity Stream app on Roku for almost 2 years and like it a lot. However I just replaced the Xfinity cable modem with an Arris modem to save on the monthly modem rental charge and now the Xfinity Stream app will not work because it says I'm not connected to Xfinity wifi. Cable TV is cable TV but FiOS has always had the better Internet service and this is the last straw for me and Xfinity. I'm going back to FiOS as soon as my Xfinity contract is up.
I'm using the Motorola WiFi Router Modem MG7540 with Xfinity and the Stream App works great.....
