Well, it's been over 12 months since they've added a block of channels, so probably quite many threads! |

I heard that a new .crap channel will be available soon. There seems to be a federal law that only Vz. can carry these channels, so I's sure that we will be getting that. |

It will launch an HD version, but not here. 14 months now they've been trying to find more capacity. Man, they need to hire me to run this project! LOL. Here's the lineup to drool over - we'll probably never match it - but it's awesome. 198 HD's in Orlando on Brighthouse. » tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv ··· L09477:X |

A HD channel that shows mostly stretch-o-vision IMO is not HD, its an annoyance and waste of space. I have had FiOS for quite a while now and still have more content recorded on 2 TiVo's and a 7232 then I watch in a week.or a month. The one thing that matters most to me is PQ, i have not forgotten what RCN's PQ was like or Comcast as i see them in family and freinds homes regularly. Nor have i forgotten how much the Dish companies charge for programming compared to what i pay now for almost as many channels and for a few dollars more then i was paying for satellite programing i get broadband intenet and telephone too. Verizon will add more channels after they catch their breath and the tech catchs up to the demand and after they do, even before, your prices will go up |

I was in Bright House territory lately and C-SPAN HD looks really good. Everything they aired was native HD with top-notch graphics presentation. For most channels I do not believe their picture quality is any worse than Verizon's.
There is no reason to be defending Verizon over this. They dropped the ball and we all know it. Even if you don't watch channels like C-SPAN, Cartoon Network, BBC America, Game Show Network, etc. it's embarrassing that a little cable company in Florida carries over 50 more HD channels than Verizon's "state of the art" national fiber optics network. |

Much like Funimation and Bridges I could care less about C-Span and even less about it in HD, not given Vz seems to have space constraints and there are many other channels I would rather see in HD then C-Span, or Funimation or Bridges SD or otherwise. Include in that any .TV channels too yet I'm sure there are some who cant live without .TV channels and Funimation and i guess... C-Span HD |

Verizon also has alot of HD channels that Bright House does not like HDNET, HDNET Movies, NFL Network and NFL Redzone. Also when it comes to premium channels verizon has 2x more HBO/Showtime/Starz/Encore/Max HD channels. I guess its all on how some people see the glass half full and other half empty. BTW my info is from avsforums HD list so as I do not have Bright House I cannot confirm the list. » www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/ ··· =1058081 |

Oooh, Verizon has a whole four HD channels that Bright House doesn't. That sure makes up for the 50+ that Bright House has which Verizon doesn't.
Also, all I have to say is, if carrying a bunch of useless redundant "West" feeds counts as having "twice as many premium channels" then we truly are in sad shape over here in FiOS land.
That very chart you linked even proves yourself wrong. Some of the premiums Bright House carries in HD which Verizon does not:
@max ActionMax West ThrillerMax West Encore West HBO 2 West HBO Comedy West HBO Family West HBO Latino West HBO Signature West HBO Zone West IndiePlex RetroPlex Movie Channel West Movie Channel Xtra West Showtime Beyond Showtime Beyond West Showtime Next Showtime Next West Showtime Women Showtime Women West Starz West
The only four premium HD channels Verizon has which Bright House doesn't? EPIX and EPIX 2, Starz Comedy and Starz Edge.
Some of the non-premium HD movie channels Bright House carries which Verizon does not include Sundance Channel, FEARnet, Fox Movie Channel, Hallmark, Turner Classic Movies... amongst others... |

I can't wait for later this year when all the people that just recently were given 6xxx series boxes can't watch any of the new HD channels. |

Clearly I'm not, as the chart I'm looking at clearly states 41 Premiums for Verizon and 50 Premiums for Bright House. |

With all due respect, JeepMatt has doesn't know when we are getting new channels. He was pushing the envelope last summer that we would be getting this massive upgrade. It never came to pass. My personal opinion is, we are stuck with what we have and will have to live with it, unless Fios gives up Fiber Optics which doesn't seem to work as planned. |

Not sure what massive upgrade you are referring to, but we got 1.9 last year (it did take longer than anticipated, but we did get it). I don't recall JeepMatt mentioning a massive HD channel add though. -Shark2k |

Do we really need a massive HD channel addition |
