Yes. Just like a traditional set top box, you will need a Fi TV Entertainment Box for each TV where you want Fi TV service.
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.
To provide a video solution that improves your overall video quality and experience, and makes it easier to watch the content you want, when and where you want, on any device. The EPB Fi TV app is delivered over our internet and easily integrates with streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, smart TVs and more – without the need to lease set top boxes. And, the EPB Fi TV app includes even more features than ever - such as Restarting shows from the beginning, Replaying shows three days after they air and an optional Unlimited DVR.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Fi TV Entertainment Box is just one device that supports the Fi TV App.
