Gizmodo has a good preview of new services that Verizon plans to roll out on Fios TV over the next few months. Fios isn’t a full IPTV system, but Verizon wants to give Fios customers some of the customization and control that generally comes with Web-based systems.
Here’s the feature that sounds coolest to me:
But one of the more awesome, though subtle, features is the capability to pause a channel, swap to another one, pause it, then go back–so you could juggle two football games or Heroes and football, whatever.
In the past, Verizon has had some problems rolling out Fios updates. A new channel guide that reached North Texas in October drew complaints at first for being slow and generally bug-ridden. (Victor, the tech team’s resident Fios customer, never had any problems with it, so the complaints may have been overstated.)
