Re: Yet another HD complaint thread
What I really want to know if all these channels are going to be added primarily to the existing Premier package, other packages, and/or will there be new packages created... |

Is this information about the HD channels real or just channels that you want?
I can't seem to find any news about that might be fake or made up.  |

| if it were real, it would have both Center Ice and League Pass - neither of which should be expected in the first round of adds |

I had to call Verizon about a billing problem (shock!) last Friday. The rep was very nice and we got to chatting about Verizon TV. I asked her what the story was with HD and She told me they are being swamped with calls complaining about more HD channels. She said just Friday, she had 12 calls herself about more HD channels and, as she said, that was even before she had lunch.
So, there are calls being made and being logged. Hopefully, they will listen. Personally, I have more faith in Verizon than Comcast as far as listening to people's complaints. |

It sounds like the real thing. MLB EI and NHL CI share the same 14 channels on In Demand. NBA LP is on different channels. So Savvy got that correct.
I just hope Verizon provides GameHD which is part of the MLB EI/NHL CI package. GameHD is part of the carriage agreement and is free. Comcast has made a bonehead decision
not to provide GameHD. Without GameHD the MLB EI/NHL CI package is not very good. Most people who sub to MLB EI/NHL CI have HD and want GameHD. The sports packages are useless
without HD channels. |

I realize how hopeful you are about getting these services, but you need to read both Savvy's and my posts more closely.
There is no League Pass listed, and I know from having read the contracts that they can't launch the MLB/NHL channels without the NBA channels (10 at least, plus NBATV) - which aren't listed. |

1 edit | Why list NBA when it doesn't start until September? Those are dead channels in the summer. Verizon is adding more HD at the beginning of October, maybe then they will include it. |

That's a good list of channels. I can't wait.
Here are some HD channels we will still be missing after July:
Bio. HD, Cartoon Network HD, Disney Channel HD, Toon Disney HD, Nick HD, FX HD, Spike HD, Speed HD, Fox Business Network HD, Fuel TV HD, Tennis Channel HD, VH1 HD, MTV HD, CMT HD, NHL Network HD, NBA TV HD, MGM HD, Big Ten Network HD.
I would have substituted Outdoor Channel HD, Lifetime HD East, and ABC Family HD with FX HD, Spike HD, & Speed HD. |
