No BBC-HD here in Richmond, VA yet. I am hoping for Top Gear HD asap! The quality of the photography is perhaps the strongest element of that show and apparently household viewers here think their photography is on par with the Art Wolfe specials on PBS-HD (whose sole focus is excellent photography).
Anyone have ideas on how we can more effectively voice our desire to have BBC-A in HD? I admit it's less important to me at this very moment but I sure would like to see the Doctor Who specials later in the year in HD. Please, HD before David Tennant leaves the show! Pretty please!
I live and breath BBC America, and it looks terrible on my HDTV in regular definition, my sister in NY has it on Time Warner and obviously the HD makes a huge difference, for the love of god, FIOS is supposed to be cutting edge, no?
BBC America HD is a must if verizon expects to keep me as a customer, I pay an arm and a leg for all the HD channels on FIOS and I expect new channels to be added as they become available, especially important ones like BBC America.

Come on VERIZON
WHERE IS BBCA in HD?
Won't be happening this year...unfortunately.
This should happen.. TWC has it live.. i need to be able to keep pointing out how fios is better
I am getting tired of having to go out and find a torrent of the BBCA shows in HD. I spent the money to upgrade all of my systems and in order to watch these shows in HD I have to download them and connect my laptop to the TV. Why am I even spending the money for FIOS? I have been promised many things over the last 3 years from Verizon that have never happened. The only thing I really enjoy about fios is the faster internet speeds. I may have to look at switching to something else soon. Not sure what contract I currently have or how long is left on it. Can not find that info anyplace on Verizon or even when I have asked a rep after being on the phone on hold for an hour plus.

A little off topic here, but I thought I would share this since you mentioned your concern about commitments.
Go to https://www22.verizon.com/myverizon/
Log into My Verizon and select the my services tab. It will show your commitment expiration date. This is something I and many others had complained about. My commitment expired in November but I am in my second year of my pricing agreement. If the price goes up, I will have to pay the higher price at the end of my second year. I have been considering locking it in for another term, but have been looking at my budget. I can't see a better deal anywhere else, and hated rain fade from the dish.
I hope this information helps you, because the expiration date for your commitment is out there. I know, because I among others fought for it. It should be available on all accounts. Since around the end of June 2009.
Ok I found it, thanks. And was I surprised to see mine is up this month. I have been doing some shopping and it looks like they are all pretty high on the prices, at least for the area that I am in. I'll keep looking around though.

If your commitment is up, and you have the two year price deal, you should not have to do anything to keep your current service and pricing. Like I said mine expired in November, and I will keep the same service, and price until next November. It gives you time to think about it. But remember if the price goes up during the second year, you will have to pay the higher price if you change your bundle. Also if the price goes down, you can get a better deal. It makes since to leave it as is, unless you want something changed. So for me it makes since to leave things as is unless I wanted the 25/15 vs the 20/5 I have now. Looking at DTV, Vonage, and FIOS Internet, and it is still cheaper for me to keep it all under Verizon. It's just the question of your satisfation with the services. I hate Comcast. I have been happy with FIOS, but all services providers could improve something.
IT turns out my agent led me astray. I signed up for the next tier,as I was told BBC/America/HD should be available by the end of Month.That was July.
That , did not happen, and I am as disappointed.,Especially since the new yr. of Robin Hood starts this week-end., as all of
you.
I just spoke to someone today and they said they don't have it yet.
I'm really disappointed. I love BBC America.
+1 for BBCA-HD. Unlike other channels that people are requesting that have next-to-no HD material (TCM-HD, G4-HD, etc), this channel actually has HD programming!
Yes. I loved Skins season 3 on BBC America HD on cable, I really hope FiOS picks BBC America HD in time for season 4!
+1 for BBC in HD from a Top Gear lover! Plus the 6 nations would be sweet in HD.
I just moved to NJ and went with FIos. I'm liking it so far but no BBC-HD??? My old cox service which was the worst has had BBC-HD for 6-9 months?? Most of what I watch is BBC so no HD is a BIG ๐
Any announcements upcoming? Nearly all BBC is HD or at least 480p 16:9.
Your likely in for a long wait as many on here have been requesting since BBCA HD was announced.
Verizon suck at even letting you know if its planned
Another vote for BBC America HD, please.
