Verizon FiOS Media Server arrives as Quantum TV DVR that records up to 12 channels at once

We stand in checked a monthly calendar too, though no, it’s not an Apr Fools fun — Verizon’s FIOS Media Server is eventually accessible in a couple of areas as a partial of a brand new Quantum TV package. The VMS1100 upgrades a customary wire boxes used by Verizon as good as alternative providers by shoving 6 tuners as good as a 1TB tough expostulate in to a box which afterwards feeds TV to alternative not as big set-top boxes in a rest of a residence over existent wire electric wires (MoCA). Better still, we can supplement some-more DVRs for a capability to jot down up to twelve channels during once, 2TB of storage as good as feeds for as most as 10 TVs. Unlike a little alternative multiroom systems, users can postponement as good as rewind live TV upon a extender boxes as well, or postponement a module in a single room, afterwards resume it in an a single some-more room.

Verizon leaked (and afterwards pulled, a demo upon top of is older) a discerning announcement for a use upon YouTube laying out a little of a specs, whilst DSLReports.com forum posters have seen accessibility in tools of New York, New Jersey, California as good as Pennsylvania. Early reports prove a program still needs a little polishing, though which regulating a VMS1100 itself is “lightning fast” as good as scarcely as manageable upon a networked boxes. The price for a complement right right away is $ twenty-two per month for a single of a DVR boxes, as good as $ 32 for a dual DVR, 12-tuner setup, as well as $ 10 to bond a single some-more TVs.

While a stream capabilities have been impressive, what’s some-more sparkling is a “phase 2″ Verizon has shown with transcoding which creates video accessible upon network continuous hardware similar to an Xbox, Roku or iPad. Combined with Verizon’s squeeze of Intel’s OnCue IPTV plan as good as a awaiting of a FCC’s AllVid standard, it could take us a single some-more step towards a destiny where a TV experience, together with recordings, is accessible upon each shade inside as good as outward a residence as good as doesn’t need special boxes during all.
