New Fios One Wireless

[xpert66]

So the Fios One new STB are not actually wireless. You do not need a coax to the box but you still need an HDMI connection from the box to the TV.  Not wireless to me! Very disappointing

So put if you have a Fire TV or Android based TV you can stream with the Fios Home app downloaded to the TV . You could also use an Apple TV with the app. They never said the connection to the TV was wireless, just the boxes themselves. All you need is one main VMS box, the rest can use the app. There may be some limitations on the channel lineup on the app though.

So to use the Fios TV app they are saying you need to have a streaming device connection. Is this an additional piece of equipment or are they referring to the video media server?

You have to have one VMS in the house hooked up to your router via coax or ethernet. You can then stream 2 devices using the Fios app , such as an Amaxon Fire device, Apple device or Android device. You can also use the Fios app on a PC, but its functionality is limited compared to the other devices. The streaming devices have to be registered to the Fios box when you set them up.

See Verizon told me you can stream up to four devices. But anyway can I do the initial setup all wired and then switch over to one TV if I want to do the wireless feature?

Yep, no problem.
