While live streaming didn’t make the cut, the FiOS app does let you browse TV shows, program your Verizon DVR, search and browse thousands of Video on Demand listings, and even use your iPad as a remote control. That last option only works if you’re using one of FiOS’s HD set-top boxes.

The DVR management options seem thorough: you can set your FiOS DVRs to record specific shows, set up a series recording, check how much room each DVR has left, see what each DVR’s recording schedule looks like, and browse the list of recorded shows. You just can’t, you know, watch them yet, although Verizon has said it’s .

The app requires—deep breath—a FiOS-provided router, a My Verizon username and password, at least one set-top box (for Guide Data, Video on Demand browsing, and What’s Hot listings), a DVR (for the DVR functionality, of course), and an HD set-top box to use the remote control functionality. You’ll also need an iPad running iOS 3.2 or later.
