I Know I get the Oradell channel here in Paramus .. I'll have to check the others, think it's the same though ..

Now that I think about it,
I believe Verizon Man had said in the previous thread that the PEG channels are not mapped by CO.
That would explain why this area has PEG channels from Park Ridge to Oradell.
I think the southern boarder line for this area is Oradell and Paramus cause we don't see any programming from towns south of those two.

rochelle park local pegs i recieve are:

37 Fair Lawn Public Access
38 & 39 SBC-TV Saddle Brook
40 Clifton Public Access
43 color bars

also noticed i'm not getting Hackensack PA. i know for sure i used to.

edit: forgot to mention "currently unavailable" on 26. no BBC

Interesting,

It seems these towns listed here get each others PEG channels,
Emerson, Haworth, New Milford, Oradell, Paramus,River Edge, Hillsdale, Montvale, Old Tappan, Park Ridge, River Vale, Upper Saddle River, Westwood, Woodcliff Lake, Ridgewood, Waldwick, Wyckoff, Twp. of Washington, Midland Park, HoHoKus, and Glen Rock. I'm not sure exactly how these zones are set.

I'll let you know what/if anything changes. I am out of the Ramsey CO. Upper Saddle River is a town over from me too.

Manny,
Can you get all the PEGS? Still nada here
Lee

Yes I'm still getting the ones for my area.

I think the reason you might not be getting any local PEG's yet is Verizon has not installed the mpeg2 encoders at the broadcast locations of your schools and towns yet.

Once the equipment is installed you should get colorbars on those local channels and soon after local programming.

I live in Summit, NJ and currently there are no PEG channels on FiOS TV yet. I volunteer for the public access channel in Summit that is currently only on Comcast and I always ask the station manager and others at the station when will the channel be available for FiOS TV viewers in my town. I was told that the channel would be available sometime in June but now the month is over and all the PEG channels on FiOS TV are still blank. I recently was told that it may not be until the end of the summer before Summit's channel will be available on FiOS TV. Also, Summit is supposed to get 2 new PEG channels - 1 government and 1 educational. There's no telling when those 2 new PEG channels will be up and running on FiOS TV.

The setup for our town's channel was,

Verizon had to run a fiber line from the street to a FIOS ONT box setup in the basement of the town municipal building.

They then ran lines from the ONT in the basement to our control room.
Their MPEG2 encoder was installed in our control room.

The MPEG2 encoder sends it's feed out via IP using an ethernet cable back to the ONT which sends it back to the VHO.

For us it took about 2 days to run the lines, since the building is a bit complex and one more day for them to come back and install the encoder.

Update:
I am getting 28 Oradell,30 Test Color bar screen,32 Hillsdale ?,33 Unavaliable,34 +,35,36,37,38,39,40,42,43..So it seems to be coming online here.
My wife has a role in the local government so I'll ask her if she heard anything about the PEGS here in town.

That's interesting since Hillsdale is right next to us.
I wonder if Ch24 might turn on soon with programming from our town.

there are two others on now in the 20's .I'll check later.
