Sky's Now TV app out on Xbox One, Verizon updates FiOS

4.7

Xbox console owners in the UK now have an expanded variety of entertainment options at the ready, as Sky has released an Xbox One version of its Now TV app, bringing the service's streamed and on-demand catalog to Microsoft's platform.

Verizon also updated its FiOS app on Xbox consoles this week, introducing 14 additional channels to its lineup. New channels available to subscribers include AMC HD, Encore, Bloomberg HD, Showtime, and Starz.

While Xbox entertainment apps were previously available only for Xbox Live Gold members, Microsoft recently updated its policies to grant access to Netflix, HBO Go, and other services to all Xbox owners.

I don't use skyTV I just stream to neflix.

Great future, but mostly everyone is using streams like Netlfix or Hulu.
Unless this has much greater things to offer then I do not believe it will go to far.

I can just use Hulu and Netflix, with the occasional looking shows up online if I need anything. Plus I have AT&T Uverse for other channels.

I would rather have Hulu and Netflix even if I didnt have cable.

If you have an xbox one then you should have cable to watch from waste of money here.

Miss I'd rather just watch TV from the cable box.

I would as well. However, this will be great for people that feel differently than you and I do, sir.

Same here. Cable is easier for me.

I've been used to the cable box so I'm just going to stick to it.
They're trying to add to many things to our technology these days
