We appreciate your loyalty as a Fios TV customer. This Fios® TV for Business Notice provides important information about your Fios TV service and Verizon’s policies and procedures. Please note that your Fios TV service is governed by the Terms of Service for Verizon Fios TV for Business (“Fios TV Terms of Service”), which can be found verizon.com/bizfiostvterms.
* Note: This notice does not impact your current service or rates
Products and services, pricing, and programming options
Fios TV customers have access to a variety of programming packages, premium content, widgets, and On Demand and pay-per-view titles, as well as Fios TV equipment and recording/storage options. Some On Demand and PPV programming may not be available to all business customers. Detailed information about these options, including pricing and conditions of subscription, is available at verizon.com/businessfiostv, by calling 1.800.Verizon (1-800-837-4966) or by reviewing the Fios TV for Business rate card & plans. The Fios TV rate card is also available anytime on your TV by pressing the Menu button on your Fios remote control, then selecting Customer Support, My Account and Fios Rate Card.
Fios TV equipment allows customers to enjoy the full potential of Fios TV, including our interactive media guide, On Demand library, parental controls and HD programming. Customers who connect to the Fios network without Fios TV equipment will not be able to receive all Fios TV programming. CableCARD technology allows access to the encrypted HD and SD digital channels on Fios TV, but will not support advanced Fios TV features. Please note that our equipment may not support certain features and functions of older televisions and recording equipment. Visit our Fios TV equipment page for more information.
Using your Fios TV service
Visit channel 131 for information on how to use your Fios TV service, including remote control and search functions, the interactive media guide, recording functions, On Demand and PPV programming, and parental and purchase controls.

New Jersey service credit information
The following service credit information is applicable to New Jersey Fios TV customers:
In accordance with the Regulations of the Office of Cable Television and Telecommunications, a service outage is defined as the total loss of the audio or visual portion of any service, not caused by the customer, for which the customer pays a separate charge and which affects Verizon’s distribution equipment. For service outages lasting six (6) to twenty-four (24) hours, you may be eligible to receive a one-day credit, based on your monthly rates for the affected service. For service outages that extend more than twenty-four (24) hours, you may be eligible to receive a credit based upon your monthly rate for the affected service for each calendar day (or part of a calendar day if greater than six (6) hours) during which such service is unavailable. Verizon may offer to provide an alternate form of compensation in lieu of a credit to compensate you for the loss of service caused by an outage. A credit may not be available if restoration of your service within six (6) hours cannot be accomplished due to factors beyond Verizon’s control, provided that service is restored within six (6) hours after restoration of service becomes practicable. If a loss of service lasts at least twenty-four (24) hours and is not the result of a service outage, you may be eligible to receive a credit based upon your monthly rate for the affected service for one day of service for each twenty-four (24) hour period during which the service is unavailable. Except and unless specifically provided otherwise by law, such credit (or alternate compensation in lieu of a credit in the case of a service outage) shall be your sole remedy for a service outage or other interruption of service. In order to be eligible for a credit, you must request such credit by phone or in writing to Verizon or the Office of Cable Television within thirty (30) days of the service outage. IN NO EVENT SHALL VERIZON, VERIZON ONLINE LLC, OR ANY VERIZON AFFILIATES (OR OTHER OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARENTS OR SUBSIDIARIES), OR VERIZON’S THIRD-PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM OR THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, EVEN IF VERIZON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIM OR DAMAGES, OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE FIOS TV TERMS OF SERVICE APPLY.

Equipment compatibility
Our Fios TV equipment allows customers to access the dynamic interactive media guide, our extensive On Demand library, easy-to-use parental controls and our 100% digital programming.
Customers who choose to connect their TV directly to the Fios network without a set-top box or digital adaptor may not be able to receive all of the content they subscribe to depending on the TV package they selected.
Certain customer owned equipment may also be equipped with CableCARD technology or a built-in digital tuner. These devices will allow the customer to access Fios TV content without needing a set-top box or digital adaptor, but will not allow them access to key Fios TV features such as the interactive media guide, PPV and On Demand content, widgets or parental controls.
As technology is ever-changing, our equipment may not support certain features and functions of older customer owned equipment. For example, you may not be able to use a VCR to view a program on one channel while simultaneously recording a program on another channel, record two or more consecutive programs that appear on different channels or use advanced display features such as picture-in- picture.
Customers may be able to obtain other remote controls that are compatible with our equipment from retail outlets. Universal remote controls that have a General Instruments IR code set can be used to control a Fios TV set-top box. Learn more about Fios TV equipment options.
