Sky's Now TV app out on Xbox One, Verizon updates FiOS

4.7
Xbox console owners in the UK now have an expanded variety of entertainment options at the ready, as Sky has released an Xbox One version of its Now TV app, bringing the service's streamed and on-demand catalog to Microsoft's platform.

Verizon also updated its FiOS app on Xbox consoles this week, introducing 14 additional channels to its lineup. New channels available to subscribers include AMC HD, Encore, Bloomberg HD, Showtime, and Starz.

While Xbox entertainment apps were previously available only for Xbox Live Gold members, Microsoft recently updated its policies to grant access to Netflix, HBO Go, and other services to all Xbox owners.

It's cool that they are supporting these apps, sadly my cable provider doesn't have any apps like this, I just have to plug in my cable box and watch TV from the HDMI TV in. The cable providers providing this instant TV is really neat, but I think services like Netflix and Hulu are better then standard cable because you have more options and it is honestly cheaper.

Might have to check this out since Netflix never seems to update their stuff.

Good to see they're being out new apps like this. I think I'll stick with Netflix, but this is definitely something I will be checking out soon.
