Channel Capacity for FIOS TV

Karl,
Can you ask them to make a statement about how they're currently out of channel capacity to add new HD's and what their plans are?

I'd like to see the response (or silence) to that one.

I believe in most areas they offer 130-140 HD channels, which is top of the industry. How many more do you want?

Top of the industry? Don't think that is entirely accurate. In fact, when it comes to HD you have claims from DirecTV, Dish, FIOS, Evil Comcast and Uverse claiming the same title (and in a lot of cases with more channels).

Ultimately isn't it based on the region?

Either way... top of the industry is inaccurate... (unless you have tangible evidence that shows otherwise)

Don't forget Dish or DirecTV's claim, I can't remember which one, included a bunch of on-demand movies as "channels" too...

When they move to IPTV over GPON, there will be no limit to number of channels. Period.
