Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Flight Video?

A: Flight Video is Live TV made simple. With Flight Video, you can view your subscription channels on a smart TV, PC, tablet, smartphone, or streaming device like Apple TV or Fire TV Stick. Flight Video also offers the option to use a convenient set-top box, the Force One Evo box, for a more traditional TV experience. In addition, the cloud-based DVR feature allows you to set recordings via the app on any compatible device and watch content anywhere in your home, any time you want.

Q: How is Flight Video different from Cable TV?

A: Flight Video uses an app on a compatible device (such as a smart TV, PC, Tablet, smartphone, or streaming device like Apple TV or Fire Stick) and delivers it to your device using your home WiFi signal. If you opt for the Force 1 box, it will be more compact and less bulky than a cable TV set-top box. Connect it to your TV and stream content using your home WiFi. In contrast, Cable TV is delivered directly to your TV using a wired cable line, and a cable box is required for each TV.

Q: When will Flight Video be available in my area?

A: Please contact customer support at 800-998-8084 to confirm service is available at your address.

Q: How does Flight Video work?

A: Flight Video enables you to stream TV content online, providing the same programming that you currently enjoy with a traditional cable TV subscription. Flight Video can be used through a Force 1 box, or downloaded easily onto your compatible devices, including smart TVs, PCs, tablets, and smartphones, allowing you to use almost any screen in your home as a TV screen. You can download Flight Video from your preferred app store, just like you would with any other streaming service.
