Thanks for the link, but we've known that E! HD and BBC America HD are in the pipe for some time--Twitter Joe has said as much IIRC. Also, the chart hasn't been updated to include the conference-killing Longhorn Network to the Verizon FiOS column.
Now, what we don't know is when BBCA HD and E! HD will be made available, and I believe TJ already said there are a few more channels in queue before these two appear (again--IIRC).
But again, thanks for the link--it's a handy guide to see how FiOS' HD package stacks up to the competition (not too shabby, though there's room for improvement--likely when MPEG-4 gets introduced to FiOS).
You are welcome. That list is pretty telling.
What HD channels are in line to be added before BBCA HD and E! HD? That list does show another in 'yellow'.
OvationTV really needs an HD channel. Arts and movies need to be seen that way.
I believe someone said on the BroadbandReports.com boards that GOL TV (international futbol) is in the queue, and possibly some more SD Spanish programming.
Plus, the BBR folks indicate that there is a lack of space for HD channels to be added currently. As soon as the U.S. Open is done occupying it's channels, that's likely when we'll see additions being made to the lineup.

Pass It By? Huh?
They still offer more HD channels than anyone. Faster internet speeds. Better dvr controls.
You gonna **bleep** that they don't have an iPad app? WHO GIVES A S*##!!! Other companies might offer that in lieu of doing anything else. It's useless. You can watch tv on yout iPad in bed??? Watch the tv in your room instead!!!
The MSG HD story is a strange one, obviously. But I can't see how anyone is passing them by. Friggin' DirecTV announced only today that they are adding AMC HD! Can you imagine? No Mad Men in HD all this time????
"They still offer more HD channels than anyone." --uhh, no they don't. One look at that table should tell you that-they have been eclipsed by AT&T and some of the cable companies.
I've had Fios for almost 3 years and have generally been happy. I am just EXTREMELY frustrated by the page with which they add HD channels. I know they have had capacity issues but come on?? I will bail on them the moment that my local cable company passes them--which, at the current rate, won't be long....
There is no excuse to not have the following HD channels tomorrow:
CBS Sports Network HD
E! HD
Cartoon Network HD
BBC-A HD
Fearnet HD
RFDTV HD
OWN HD
NASA TV HD
GolTV HD
Hallmark Channel HD
HLN HD
Sony Movie Channel HD

Um, sorry to inform you but the do NOT have the most HD channel offerings, thus my pass it by comment. AT&T and Brighthoise have passed them by and Comcast and TWC are quickly catching up. And I have the 35/35 internet but in the evenings is it slow as molasses, so don't tell about what great speed that is.
I could not care less about any iPad app, so I do not know what bug got up your butt over that one.
But hey you must be estatic that 6 of FiOS's HD 122 channels are those garbage .tv channels that almost nobody on FiOS watches and that no other carrier on the face of the earth carries (and I wonder why that is!?!?!?!?
Know your facts before you rant.

Now I absolutely AGREE with you!!! I've been a customer since June 2008, while I love the picture quality and now that I have a 7232 DVR I am happy about my dvr, the pace and choices they are making to add HD is frustrating and disappointing to say the least.
While I myself am locked in until June 2012, if at that time Comcast is offering more HD, etc. I may seriously think about switching back. I honestly do not want to switch back, but Verizon cannot stay stuck in the mud like they have been.
