Re: New HD Channels?
R-
The only 1 I know of is NBA TV HD - which is to be on by the time next season begins.
CBS CS stated in their PR that VZ would carry the HD feed "sometime in 2009" - but I have not heard any whispers on that, nor on any of the other channels you listed.

Leesburg, VA | At this point I'm only waiting for the Cartoon Network. Verizon has provided everything but the NFL Ticket at this point. I would like to see the NBA and NHL packages in HD though. |

NBA / NHL in HD to me would be a waste of bandwidth unless they could do these IP based. But, considering InDemand does not carry all the games in HD anyway it is a moot point. |

Leesburg, VA | It's only a waste of bandwidth since you don't want them. I'm sure 90% of the other people here would rather see those channels in HD then the .tv channels, Tennis HD, Mav Tv or YES. |

No, it is a waste of bandwidth to carry them in HD because they are part time stations that would require several QAMs.
And -- I completely agree with the stations you listed, I could care less about them as well, but at least they are full time stations (with the exception of YES, which I don't count since the point of the station is Yankees games which can't air outside of NY). |

1 edit | They aren't exactly full time stations when they rerun the same programming. The demand on the part time programming is higher then these. |

Tennis Channel HD is probably the channel I watch the most. I could care less about the NBA Channel. The same basically goes for the NFL Network. |

BTW, I would be the first to subscribe if Extra Innings was in all HD, but I still think it would be a waste of QAM space |

Especially after the last 2 years of promises (and especially with them adding it to the guide as a cruel joke a few months ago). |

1 edit | InDemand has two HD services. Game HD (VZ VC#1474) is used for MLB/NHL coverage and Team HD is used for NBA/MLS coverage (will be on VZ VC#1489 for start of NBA season)... |

NBA LP (ten SD services) along with the one corresponding HD service will be in place in time for next season...In fact, Team 6-10 are currently in use for MLS coverage... |

Any guarantee we'll see NBA TV on 89/589 at the same time as the LP channels?

I don't see it on the radar for now but tipoff is a ways off. Do you know if NBA TV will carry live games like NFL Network? Ask me again as season draws nearer and I will have a better idea... |
