People want more control to watch what they want, when they want, and where they want. We're no longer tied to the television screen – we want to watch on other devices like phones, tablets and laptops. Fi TV lets you watch video content when, where and how you want it. And, because Fi TV eliminates the need for wired set top boxes and DVRs, it can potentially save you money as well.
EPB Fi TV is an app that lets you watch TV over the internet – much like Netflix or Hulu.
Fi TV is combined with our Fi-Speed Internet, so you watch using internet connected-devices including compatible smart TVs and most popular streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, and mobile devices. The new EPB Fi TV app gives you the ultimate TV experience powered by the world's fastest internet.
The EPB Fi TV app is compatible with many popular streaming devices, mobile devices and smart TVs. See a full list of compatible devices.
Since the EPB Fi TV app no longer requires a set top box, you will use the remote that comes with your streaming device or smart TV to control Fi TV – just like you do with streaming services like Netflix or Hulu.
If you're using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, you may want to watch this helpful video for more information. If you're still having trouble, give us a call anytime day or night at 423-648-1372.
We suggest you do, in order to get the most from your Fi-Speed Internet service. More people are using their Wi-Fi network to access video content like app-based EPB Fi TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix and more. Plus, internet-connected devices like security cameras, gaming consoles, smart locks, baby monitors, smart thermostats, smart appliances and more – running all at the same time – can create additional drag on Wi-Fi networks. Studies suggest that households will soon average about 30 connected devices. So to help you make the most of your EPB Fiber Optics internet, in-home Wi-Fi network set up, maintenance and support provided by EPB Smart Net Plus is more important than ever.
The EPB Fi TV app includes 6 streams standard (more than any other provider) – but you can also purchase up to four additional streams at $2.50 each per month, for a total of up to 10 streams.
You can install the EPB Fi TV app on as many devices as you like. But remember that you only have 6 streams for simultaneous viewing unless you purchase additional streams for $2.50 each per month, with an upper limit of 10 total streams.
EPB will replace a device at no cost at any time for as long as you are renting the device. You will just need to return the original device. If you have EPB Smart Network, a technician will deliver and set up a new device for you, and return your original device at no additional charge.
Call 423-648-1372 anytime day or night and an EPB representative will be happy to help.
If your TV is not a compatible smart TV, then yes. However, streaming devices can be moved from TV to TV if you don’t want to buy one for every TV. Also, remember you can watch Fi TV on other streaming devices such as tablets and smartphones. Watch these helpful videos for more information.
No. Because the EPB Fi TV app is delivered over the internet, it works on all kinds of internet-connected devices without the need for a set top box. Not only does this save you the monthly charge for each set top box, it also means that you can take Fi TV with you wherever you watch TV. For more information, watch this helpful video.
You can use the voice control on applicable device remotes (like Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV) to search for programs by title within Fi TV's “search” screen. If your streaming device remote has voice control, then all standard commands associated with that device will work as usual.
Unfortunately, no. You will need to keep using your current rented device as long as it is still functional and supported. However, if you ever have a problem with a device you are renting from EPB, we will replace it for you when you return the original device.
Unfortunately we cannot, because each Fire TV Stick only comes with one remote.
To access your complete Fi TV channel list and to watch live TV, you must be connected to your home’s WiFi network. However, you can watch on demand content and DVR recordings away from your home’s WiFi network.
If there is an upcoming program you want to make sure you can watch on the go, we suggest you set it up to record on your DVR, and then you can watch it virtually “live” as it’s being “recorded.” Watch this helpful video for more information.
Unfortunately, no. However, with app-based Fi TV's optional Unlimited DVR, you can record as many programs as you want and watch them anywhere, any time on any compatible streaming device.
Your regular data restrictions and fees from your cellular provider apply.
In most cases, yes. If you are using a current Fire TV Stick or Apple TV you can use that device’s remote for everything without having to change inputs between apps. Some older model remotes do not provide the ability to turn the TV on/off or control the volume – but newer ones do. Also, most Smart TV’s operate everything seamlessly with one remote.
If you have an Amazon Fire TV Stick, watch this helpful video for more information.
Most popular channels, but not all, will support both of these features. But you may find that these features won't work on some channels.
Unfortunately, no. You can Replay a show up to three days after they air but you cannot record them after they have originally aired. You have to set-up programs to be recorded beforehand, or you may be able to find the program again in the "shows" or "movies" listings.
You can record as many shows as you like at the same time and not take up any of your streams. So you can record on several channels at the same time and still watch up to 6 streams (or more with additional stream purchase) on other channels and devices while you are recording.
There is no limit to the amount of content you can record and keep for up to nine months However, keep in mind each recording will be automatically deleted as it reaches nine months on your DVR.

Fiber optic technology transmits information using laser-generated pulses of light that travel over hair-thin strands of glass fiber. Because light travels faster than anything else in the universe, fiber optics provide faster uploads and downloads while reducing network reaction times. Traditional communications companies use copper lines to transfer their signal to your home or business. EPB Fiber Optics is the area's only provider that uses 100% fiber optics.
There is no charge for residential installation. And, with EPB there are no contracts or hidden fees.
Yes. To help you make the most of your EPB Fiber Optics internet, our EPB Smart Network service includes in-home WiFi network set up, maintenance and support by EPB experts anytime day or night. Our professionals will provide the equipment, expertise and support to install and maintain a Wi-Fi network to help you maximize your home's wireless signal. More people are using their Wi-Fi network to access video content like the EPB Fi TV app, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix and more. Plus, internet-connected devices like security cameras, gaming consoles, smart locks, baby monitors, smart thermostats, smart appliances and more – running all at the same time – can create additional drag on Wi-Fi networks. So at just $9.99 per month (plus tax), EPB Smart Network is a wise addition to your home's internet service.
If you are terminating your EPB Fiber Optics Fi TV or EPB Smart Network service, you must return all EPB-supplied equipment to avoid added charges to your account. For more information on returning equipment, call 423-648-1372 anytime day or night.
HD is included with EPB Fi TV at no additional charge. Currently content providers don't offer much 4K programming, and the EPB Fi TV platform doesn't offer 4K resolutions at this time. We will add the ability to deliver 4K as more programming becomes available.
The original Fi TV platform is obsolete because the equipment required to support it is no longer available. Fi TV Select is no longer available to new customers because we will be phasing out that technology soon. However, EPB Fi TV is an app that is delivered over EPB's internet and viewed on compatible smart TVs and most popular streaming and mobile devices.
On mobile devices, open the app and choose your profile icon to launch Fi TV. On the Home screen, you’ll see your profile’s personalized viewing experience, including DVR recordings, suggested shows and movies, “resume watching” functionality and more. Keep in mind that while logged in on a device, you are using a stream. You can watch Fi TV live if you are within your home's WiFi network. Outside of your home's WiFi network, you can only watch DVR recordings and on demand content. However, you can start recording a program from your mobile device and begin watching it away from home five minutes later. And if you are not logged into a WiFi network at all then cellular data fees may apply.
Yes, just download the FREE EPB Fi TV app from your app store and log in using your Fi TV login and password to enjoy Fi TV on Apple and Android tablets and smart phones.
Currently the EPB Fi TV app does not support live viewing out of home. Most channels have video on demand content that is available out of home, and you can access many channels remotely through the network app on EPB2Go.com. Also, please keep in mind that with the optional Unlimited DVR, you can watch any show you have recorded any time, any place, on any device. So, if you are planning to be away from home when a show airs — you can schedule a recording and then watch it later, or even as it “records.” Plus, since the storage is unlimited, you can record as many shows as you want and keep them for nine months.
Yes. As long as you are logged into a device you are using a stream. To free up streams, simply log out of devices. To sign out of Fi TV on that device, click “sign out” at the bottom of your Profile screen.

The Fi TV Entertainment Box is a device that looks and functions like a set top box, but gives you access to the Fi TV App as well as other popular streaming apps like Prime Video, Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO Max and more — all on the same screen. You don’t have to switch inputs between the Fi TV Entertainment Box and your other streaming devices, and one remote controls everything.
The Fi TV Entertainment Box functions a lot like the traditional set top box you may be using now, with the very same channels. The remote is similar to the one you’re using today, and includes numbers that allow you to go directly to a specific channel. The channel guide is very much like the one you’re accustomed to, and navigates much like your current Fi TV plan. The main difference is that instead of your Fi TV plan being delivered over an ethernet line to your set top box, it's now delivered over the internet to the Fi TV app on your Fi TV Entertainment Box. In fact, the Fi TV Entertainment Box is so similar to your current TV experience, you won’t even realize you switched.
Traditional set top boxes that deliver TV via a digital signal will soon be obsolete and no longer supported by EPB. Switching to the Fi TV Entertainment Box delivers a much richer TV experience over the internet. It has all the features you love about your traditional TV service with even more convenience and features, like Restart and Replay, the ability to watch on most streaming and mobile devices, an available unlimited DVR, and more.

The Fi TV Entertainment Box is just one device that supports the Fi TV App.
You can also watch the Fi TV App on most streaming devices — including smart TVs, Amazon Fire Sticks, Apple TVs, and more — as well as laptops, tablets, smart phones and other devices.

In fact, you can also watch the Fi TV app on most smart TVs and streaming devices, including Amazon Fire Sticks, Apple TVs and more — without having to lease a Fi TV Entertainment Box.
No, the Fi TV Entertainment Box is only available for lease at $5.99 per TV, per month.
If you’re unhappy with the Fi TV Entertainment Box, you can cancel at any time. If you’re having trouble using the Fi TV Entertainment Box, EPB Tech Pros℠ will be happy to help answer your questions, or even help you switch to another available streaming device that supports the Fi TV App. We’re always here with local, expert technical support available 24/7/365 via by calling 423-648-1372.
