I signed up for Quantum service precisely so I could watch DVR recordings from my hotel room, while traveling.
As described in Verizon's FAQ:
With Fios Quantum TV Advanced Mobility, you can:
- Access previously recorded DVR content on your mobile device or tablet while out-of-home and connected to a Wi-Fi or a 3G/LTE mobile network
Except that you CAN'T play DVR recordings on anything but the mobile app - which only runs on smartphones and tablets (unless I'm missing something, and the Verizon tech support person I talked to is also missing something).
Last time I looked, a laptop is a "mobile device." But, while you can watch "live" tv via the browser interface, you can't access DVR content. Who the heck wants to watch video on a small screen, when you have a larger one available. And you can't even Chromecast to a tv, if one is available.
Anybody from Verizon care to comment?
