Verizon will discontinue its FiOS TV apps for Xbox game consoles and smart TVs at the end of this month, according to an email it sent to subscribers that was posted by Ars Technica. Verizon adds that people can watch TV content on its FiOS Mobile app from a smartphone or tablet. A spokesperson told Ars that the decision was due to “the limited number of FiOS customers who were using the FiOS app on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.”
