Verizon will significantly grow its national high definition channel line-up next month, increasing its regional and national HD network count from 23 to 44. The new channels include: TBS HD, Lifetime HD, Animal Planet HD, Science Channel HD, TLC HD, Bravo HD, Smithsonian Channel HD, History Channel HD, Sci-Fi Channel HD, CNN HD, CNBC+ HD and the Outdoor Channel HD. New premium HD movie channels include Starz Kids and Family HD, Starz Comedy HD, Starz Edge HD, Showtime West HD, Showtime 2 HD, The Movie Channel HD and others.
In addition, Shawn Strickland, VP of Video Solutions Verizon FIOS, (in a letter to subscribers) wrote, by the end of 2008 Verizon FIOS will have more than 100 HD channels as well as 1,000 HD Video-On-Demand titles per month. Current FIOS HD subscribers will see new channel numbers assigned to many of its existing channels beginning July 23, though not all of the new HD channels will be immediately available.
In the NY metro area, FIOS will continue to offer the seven major local HD network broadcast channels bringing the total available to 51 HD channels.
Great news….if you can receive Verizon FIOS.
I live in New Jersey, Zip 08757, and despite Verizon receiving approval from the NJ State Legislature 18 months ago to roll out FIOS within NJ I am no wiser as to when I can expect it to be available and there is no web site let alone person responsible within Verizon who will provide details.
Guru:
How about a shootout comparison test between Verizon FIOS, ATT UVERSE and Direct TV HD Premiere as you did with the Panny and Pioneer plasmas?
Is fiber optic cable really uncompressed on HD?
Does Fiber optic cable offer better picture quality then Direct TV HD?
Direct TV appears to be compressed with one exception,HDNET.
Readers what are your experiences?
Please,no comparisons between Dish or Comcast. Thank you.

I second that carrier shootout!
Sometime this year I will have to choose between TWC(current provider), DTV, and FIOS(being strung on my street this week). I would love to see some kind of evaluation, even if there are many variables.

All that is welcome, but after a week of FIOS, I may have to go back to DirecTV to get my MSNBC fix. Is there any news of NY/NJ FIOS getting the channel I watched most?

Randy,
A Verizon manager of media relations emailed me that Verizon is now in the process of starting to offer MSNBC in North Jersey communities where Comcast is now the provider. Verizon could not tell exactly when the channel will be added, however they expected to have the channel up and running in all applicable towns by the end of the summer.
Verizon also reached an agreement to carry the Olympics on MSNBC in all towns (served by either Comcast or Cablevision) in August.
In communities that were only served by Cablevision in the past, there is a carriage agreement that they are the only provider that can carry MSNBC. More details are on the web.

This is fantastic news. I was upset when they ddn’t initially offer SciFi HD. At least Ill be able to watch the final season of BSG in HG without resorting to torrents.
@I live in NJ as well and it took months before my street finally got access. The worst part was the next next to me HAD access, but I’ll admit it was worth the wait.

I live in Essex County and we have had MSNBC on FIOS for about 2 months. I was pretty bent out of shape about it. I actually work for NBC Universal and asked about it at a Town Hall meeting. Apparently, the exclusion was due to an exclusivity agreement with Cablevision, but that has expired. The deal covered the tri state area, so I’m not sure why MSNBC appears in some towns in NJ and not others (a friend in Bergen still doesn’t have it). I’m sure they are working out contracts and it should be system wide soon.
I’d still like to get AMC in HD. Wonder why they haven’t added that yet.
