Verizon has gone live with a new multi-screen portal for FiOS that is enabled by Synacor’s platform.
The introduction of the new start page, along with the search and discovery features there, represents an expanded relationship with Verizon, the vendor said. Verizon began using Synacor in 2013 to provide start pages for its TV products.
Verizon began testing the new pages – a portal and a page dedicated to trending video – at the end of 2014.
FiOS customers can visit the site to find out what’s new, watch live TV and check out what’s trending on FiOS.
“Our customers want to search, discover and enjoy TV on every screen, whether it’s live, video on-demand, on their smartphone or tablet, and Synacor’s solution helps us deliver a seamless experience,” said Rick Haring, Verizon’s Director of Digital and Social Engagement.
The guide provides a unified view of all content available to FiOS customers across all platforms – TV, PC, mobile devices. The capability is available cross-browser and native app.
