Re: Yet another HD complaint thread
The thing that is taking so long is the conversion of FiOS to all digital throughout the country. Once the whole country is all digital Vz will quickly add additional programming. |

I believe something like 48 more SD channels and 26 HD channels towards the end of July. I have heard Mid-June, Late August, late July......I honestly think it's all speculation. If it ain't here by September I'll look at other options. I'd love to have more HD, but any "timelines" for HD are purely speculation. Nobody really knows. Just like HD VOD, we'll wake up one morning and it will be there. |

Why do they need to give it to the entire country at the same time? If Pittsburgh and other markets are all digital already why not deploy as headends are capable? |

Speculation...nobody really knows. Anyone that posts time frames are really just taking a guess....take it with a grain of salt. The only post I have seen that has "some merit" was from a Verizon employee that said some time in mid June for the markets that are all digital at this time.....But, I'm not holding my breath. |

IIRC the original press release from Verizon (claiming added channels by "Spring 2008") said it would be added on a per market basis - indicating a staged roll out by VHO.

Where are they going to squeeze them? Is there going to be renumbering? |
