Lately they seem never to tell us in advance of adding a new HD channel, they just seem to do it, and then not even tell us after the fact that it's been added!

In regard to OVA HD ..

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a Fine Arts Channel, that shows programs not on any other basic cable channel. Actually something different.

I think Verizon is actually listening to the subs! Not to mention, there have been new HD adds nearly every week or so lately.

Thank you Verizon.

Is 1 out of 3 acceptable? I know it goes against Meatloaf's thinking....

If they were listening, H2 would have been added a long time ago.

Seeing as they just wrapped up the GAC HD rollout - i'm sure we'll all see these 2 new ones over the next week-10 days if the past holds.

If "HISTORY" holds? Referring back perhaps to the 1 of 3 coming?

With Hubbard's ownership, I would say Reelz HD isn't far behind Ovation HD, following similar patterns in FiOS additions with Scripps. (DIY/Cooking/GAC).

Almost all of Verizon's recent adds have been from minor players in the industry. HLN is Turner and H2 is A&E, and those are both major players. GSN is Sony, which is a massive company overall, but is a tiny player in the TV industry with just a handful of minor channels. It fits the pattern.

Bloomberg HD is 1080i H.264, on the same QAM as Revolt, Pivot, and MavTV. Ovation HD is 1080i H.264, on the same QAM as 3 .TV channels and BeIN Sports.

Yes they're both H.264.

celticpride, the channels may not be available in your VHO yet. Usually takes Verizon at least a couple days to roll out channels to everyone.
