Last night I received another upgrade of my FiOS IMG (Interactive Media Guide). When the guide comes up it says it received a maintenance update… in “messages” it didn’t provide much more information. I browsed the unit and it now says it’s on 1.7.1 (from 1.7) a simple point release probably to fix some bugs from the larger 1.7 upgrade in January.
Then I found it – this version has the ability to use your WiFi enabled cell phone as a remote control (I wish I had a WiFi enabled cell phone). Apparently you can download an application to your phone that works like a remote. My guess is that it connects via the wireless router in your home. Wow this would really annoy the wife… let her have the remote (she’ll be impressed) and you just hang on to your cell phone! LOL
