WGN America in HD

I receive WGN America (channel 😎 as part of my Prime package, but not the HD version channel 568. Why is this?? I have had HDTVs since 2006. There is definitely truth to Time Warner's new ad campaign claiming they have many more HD channels than FiOS. Verizon won't even give me an HD version of channels I subscribe to!

Please add WGN HD to the Prime package line up. I don't want to have to watch a 4:3 picture in standard definition if I choose to view a program on that channel

You're getting the channels you subscribe to. WGN HD is not in your package. You do not subscribe to it. So Verizon is not "giving" it to you because you don't pay for it. If you want it, then subscribe to a higher package that includes the channel.

All providers have different packages that include different channels. If you subscribe to higher packages, FiOS offfers many more HD channels just like other providers.

I'm curious whare you are. WGN America SD is on channel 19 where I live, not channel 8.

It does not make sense to only have the standard definition feed of a channel as part of a package, when an HD feed is available. If WGN America is included in Prime, the HD version should also be included. That's how all other cable providers operate. Verizon has the unpleasant distinction of offering the least amount of HD channels per package, unlike its competitors Time Warner, Cablevision, Dish Newtork and DirectTV.

To answer your question, I live on Long Island, NY.

What zip code please? I can't look up what I need to look up without a zip code -- there are too many listed for "Long Island."
