Why are the Disney HD channels not +500?
Disney SD is 250, so logically, Disney HD is 750, but it's not. Disney HD is 780 (around there), which is +530. |

Because TCM HD does not broadcast anything in HD in the United States. This is no longer true. People who DO have this channel in HD are reporting that they have finally made the jump over to showing good portions of their movies in actual HD. Which TCM confirmed. Since December, they have been broadcasting full HD. Of course, they don't have every movie has an HD master, so there are still some upconverts. It would be nice to know which ones are which. |

I personally think it is imperative for Verizon to carry TCM-HD as soon as possible. |

From Wikipedia. TCM HD As of mid-November 2014, it appears TCM HD is actually broadcasting at least some content in native HDTV as evidenced by full-frame 4:3, 16:9, and wider screen aspect ratio content, which was previously shrunk slightly in both horizontal and vertical size, and the obviously-now-in-HD bumper segments with Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz. On Veterans Day 2014, the 1970 film Patton was subjectively much more detailed than in past TCM HD airings, as was the November 15 airing of On the Waterfront. » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu ··· c_Movies» www.avsforum.com/forum/3 ··· -62.html |

I mean, last I checked, 750 (where Disney should be) is open, so it really shouldn't seem like too much of a hassle for them to fix it (I have no idea, though), and it would really make it easier for the customer to know that ALL hd channels are +500. |

They recently fixed a few of the sports channels that weren't lined up properly. I wish they would fix the rest like Disney and Discovery Family. |

Took them long enough. They spent the last six years damaging their reputation with their fake HD.
H2 should be added before this channel is. |

said by 46436203:H2 should be added before this channel is. Especially because it is HD down converted. And they have an open space for it. |

Not to mention the AHC. They have new shows and Series' shot in HD. But we do not have that channel in HD. Only U-Verse has it in HD. Everyone else, in SD, for some reason. |

Yeah, I forgot. That is a great channel that is too overlooked unfortunately. It used to be called 'Military Channel' before they gave it the stupid name.
Fortunately, stupid content did not follow the stupid name change. The channel has lots of great HD documentaries.
American Heroes Channel and H2 need to come in HD before TCM. |

TWC has AHC in HD. When I had with TWC, the high definition picture was average at best. |

American Heroes Channel and H2 need to come in HD before TCM. I very much second that. Great Documentaries on AHC. We all need more true History channels in our lineup, to educate the younger crowd. And not all these "Jersey Shore" type shit shows, that are on all these channels that show the same stuff. |

Today in FIOS Buffalo/WNY the Justice Network was added to channel 479 replacing weatherscan. Still hoping for TCM, EL Rey, AHC, H2, and UP to be added to HD. |

Weatherscan is 49, here as well. |
|
|
to Rick4769
479 is probably a local digital subchannel. If so, don't expect it nationwide. |
|
|
to matcarl
479 is a sub channel from WGRZ channel 2 in Buffalo. Justice Network launched today and is available at a few such channels nationally |

Justice Network replaced WeatherNation here in Buffalo on channel 479. Weatherscan is still on 49. |

Newsmax (in SD only) was just added Channel 115. |
|
|
Yes 115 is live in VHO15 but why doesn't Verizon send out programming notices when a new channel is added, moved or deleted? |
|
|
They used to on the message center, but now seems like they only do it if channels are being removed. |

said by Rick4769:I think it is a big mistake regarding not notifying the customer of new channels to be added. It's very foolish. Someone would never know they have a new channel. They may gripe to their friends (potential customers) that Verizon is missing certain channels, when in fact they may have been added sometime after they signed up. I would think Verizon would want their customers to know everything new they are adding so it seems like they are keeping up with other providers and making customers happy. |
