Verizon to launch a media server in 2012

December 23rd, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

Gone will be the days of multiple set top boxes in a home. Verizon is working on a media server that will revolutionize how you watch TV. Apparently from what I have read you will be able to stream your cable to any device that has an internet connection. Also there will be a device that you connect to the other TV’s in your home that will get the signal from the media server so it eliminates a set top box in every room there is a TV. From the looks of it you could actually have an Xbox 360 or a PS3 connected to your TV and as long as it is connected to your FiOs internet you can get your cable. Although right now if you have FiOS and Xbox 360 Live Gold membership there are channels that are currently streaming on your XBOX 360. I have played around with it and I must say it is a pretty cool thing to have, too bad I already have a set top box on my TV. Above I have put the promotional video that Verizon has out regarding this new media server.
