Verizon quietly
launched its own Android TV box, the one that we told you about yesterday.
Simply dubbed Verizon Stream TV, the device is now available for purchase for
just US$ 70 and free shipping is offered to all customers who place an order.
The only thing
mentioned on Verizon's website is that it features 4K Ultra high definition
support and Google Assistant voice remote. So if you'd like to know what
service you'll be able to access, you'll have to contact Verizon or keep
reading this story.
Verizon told
9to5google that the Stream TV includes YouTube TV with a free month of service,
Disney+, and Yahoo apps pre-loaded. Unfortunately, Verizon's streaming TV box
lacks Netflix support, which is surprising considering the huge popularity of
the service.
On the bright side,
Fios customers will be able to get the Verizon Stream TV for free, but for each
additional device, they'll have to pay the full US$ 70 price. Keep in mind that
since the Stream TV is powered by Android TV, you'll be able to access the
Google Play Store and install a plethora of apps.
