Re: [HD] Maybe this means more HD will follow...

I honestly don't care if or when we get it. It is a channel that I will never watch, unless they change their content.

We already have it on VHO1, got it a week or two ago, sometime toward the beginning of December.

Now we need H2 HD! C'mon Verizon, try adding HD channels we actually want. Took you like 4 years to add Cartoon Network HD...

So did anybody see those four channels mentioned in the first post of this thread removed today? I guess it will happen this week sometime.

Still here

reply to matcarl
On the message center it says on or around Jan 1st 2013 for those channel removles.

Oh NO the Mayans were right! The world has ended, we've lost MavTV!!!

reply to Mac973
I did watch Mav Tv once in a while. Occationally it had some good movies. For example: Rudy, was on just not too long ago.

But I can live without that HD channel, and especially those other 4 SD channels, that I Never watched.

I just hope they add one or two good HD channels in place of them.

finally those crap channels gone. the worst was youtoo and their desperate plea to stay on.

When is TV Guide Hd rolling out to the rest of us ... ?

I am wondering the same thing. I am in VHO7, and there is not a channel to turn to. Not even test patterns, like the Olympic Channels when they were first turned on.

I too am wondering why TV Guide HD hasn't been added in VHO5 (NY area) yet. While I don't really care for this addition as it's not a channel I would watch, it is the long roll-out process that concerns me - it has been almost a month since some VHO's have had this channel.

I recall when Fox Soccer HD was added we in NY had to wait more than 3 weeks longer than everyone else with no explanation. Verizon had no problem dropping the 4 channels on New Years for all VHO's - why does it take so long with additions? They have the available QAM slot from MAV HD which they cancelled - what could possibly be the delay?

Incompetence.

Looks like NFL RedZone's QAM slot has been reclaimed by VZ now that the regular season is over.

Hopefully this in combination with the few channels Verizon decided to let expire at the end of the year will be replaced with some quality HD programming announced at CES and actually launched before spring.

Unless I'm missing somethng,
nothing significant is going to happen till FiOS replaces the MPEG2 only older STBs and DVRs with newer STBs that support MPEG4.
Then they can deliver all the channels delivered in MPEG4 as MPEG4 and gain more space.
The only other option is to do like other cable systems and re compress channels to fit more HD channels in the QAM channel.

i'm not sure but i think there was a recent add in VHO7 today... 517 Unimás HD.

Unimás HD is a re branding of TeleFutura.

Whatever happened to the rest of the rollout for TV Guide Network? VHO5 still hasn't received it.
