The best way to go about this is to make sure that everything on your network is network enabled and is certified with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and Apple Time Machine proprietary Apple network sharing platform) if you are looking to backup and share with Apple devices.

In addition, Apple also offers its Time Capsule line of NAS (network attached storage) drives and with any of these NAS products that are UPnP and DLNA compatible you should be able to share and playback digital content.

You’ll also want to make sure that the source components that you are using are capable of recording, storing and sharing content through the DLNA and UPnP certifications. You should also consider—- since you mention FIOS—-that Verizon offers a multi-room DVR option that allows homeowners to record and distribute DVR content throughout their homes.
