OK, but can everyone please try to "stay the course" at least?

Accuweather added today on channel 119 and 619. The Weather Channel has been dropped.

PLOT TWIST! Maybe Jeep's message wasn't a bug after all. I am not at home, so I can't check. Can others confirm?

I only looked at 619, TWC. Guide still said TWC, but it was showing The Accuweather Channel instead. And they were actually showing the weather.

Wow, stunning! TWC itself is completely useless and worthless, and WeatherScan was frustrating because we'd get towns 100 miles away. I've never seen Accuweather, do they show your LOCAL weather?

So far it seems to be East coast "regionalized" if I had a word for it...

They had these channels in the Sports Package a long time ago, then put them in Extreme for some reason, now I guess they changed their minds again.

This is a disturbing trend. I've seen other channels get pulled from Extreme, nothing I care about, but disturbing nonetheless. What recourse does one have if they move something one likes? Must one upgrade to ultimate? This is dirty. We signed up for 2 years and only they can change terms and conditions, to force us to pay more? Given that they are selling us (CA) off in a year, at the end of my 24 obligated months, FiOS is not a safe bet.

It would be nice if those three Fox College Sports Channels were in HD.

I agree. Unfortunately the three Fox College Sports channels are not broadcast in HD.

Don't the FCS channels show mostly bottom of the barrel small school teams that few people care about? Probably why they are not in HD...

But for what area? The last time I checked the channel it wasn't showing info for me. And the audio was still out of sync.

I wish they would dump a bunch of those channels from the Ultimate HD tier and lower my price some. They should just put all those on a sports tier and have people pay extra for the sports tier if they want it. Especially ESPN. The majority of people subsidize the cost of ESPN for the minority of people that watch it.

Probably not, but who thought gas would ever come back down this far again? Don't say "ever" LOL

They are in HD on the various Fox Sports and other RSNs that originate the broadcasts. I don't think Fox produces anything in SD anymore. They've been doing HD long enough to phase out all the SD gear and replace with newer HD stuff.

With the current lack of HD space I highly doubt that will happen anytime soon and would also piss off a lot of people including me who have more than enough sports channels in HD already.

If they were in HD I would be pissed but since I do not watch many SD channels in my ExtremeHD package I will not miss them.

Maybe they can take the space that those three SD channels took up, and put that toward one good PQ HD channel.

The content of said channel, is anyones guess. H2 channel in High Def. Anyone? Anyone?

Not sure on this one as I do not think FIOS has converted any SD MPEG2 channels to MPEG4 yet....

That would be nice. Especially, if it were for that H2 channel, ironically.

But saying that. I would be happy with American Heroes Channel in HD, as well.
