Turner Classic Movies in Custom TV plan

In the ENTERTAINMENT pack of the Custom TV lineup it lists Turner Classic Movies (TCM) as "standard definition." Is this different from the TCM channel under Preferred HD--which I currently have? Or are they both SD rather than HD? I ask because in my current Preferred plan I also see some letter-boxing, but I wouldn't want to downgrade my TCM when switching to Custom TV.

Thanks.

NJRIDE,

TCM is the same channel on both packages and there is no HD version of that channel available.

Thanks,

Comcast has Turner classic movies in hd. Why can't fios add it?

They can add it but apparently choose not to do so. Adding TCM HD has been discussed here since 2009. Below is a 4 year old thread. I seriously doubt adding this channel in HD is on their to do list. Pretty sure they will only add channels that their Marketing majors tell them will earn the most $'s.

So Verizon support seems great at belaboring the obvious (Fios does not offer TCM HD, even though it exists and people are asking for it) but has no interest in explaining why they refuse to offer this popular channel nor provides any mechanism for petitioning for this clearly desirable addition.

I have learned far too quickly why people are dissatisfied with Fios. They just don't seem to care at all.
