3 edits | Not quite...
Time Warner has 104.
Verizon FIOS has 116.
Comcast has as few as 21 HD channels or more depending on the system one is on but doesn't come even remotely close to Time Warner.
DirecTV claims to have over 130 but it's hard to nail down an exact number. |

reminder to Cablevision:
Big Ten Network is 720p
for some reason when new channels are added they are set at 1080i regardless if they broadcast at 720p |

Tenafly, NJ | I have heard that MSNBC may soft launch their HD channel a few days early just to work out some kinks. So while the 29th is the official date, perhaps Cablevision will have the channel up and running a few days before? |

I'm sure we'll get it with the rollout with these other new channels even if it's official launch isn't until Friday. If you recall, the same thing happened with MLB Network. |

But they still haven't updated their channel lineup page.
They updated the page to show the new HD channels.

2 edits | I initially looked too fast but since saw them. That's what the statement was relating to them being on there early. In any event, can't wait until Friday. |

Are we getting BBC America? I was watching SciFi when I saw an ad for what I thought was a bbc america show. It said June 27th on ch104, but that's bbc world. Maybe I read the ad wrong. |

Tenafly, NJ | That's good about MSNBC. Perhaps it will show up before Monday? Maybe they will flip the switch over the weekend and give us a early treat like MLB Network did before they launched. |
