Suggest Channels to Add to Fios TV

[Kathleen]

Hello All,

I've seen quite a few threads and posts floating around suggesting various channels/programs you would like to see on FiOS TV.  In an effort to consolidate the information, I have decided to create this single thread about the subject.  Feel free to reply to it with your suggestion(s) on what you would like to see on FiOS TV.

Please note:  I make no promises as to whether or not you will see these channels/programs on FiOS TV.  Though I do know that the right people here at Verizon are looking at this thread for your feedback and advice on the matter.  

Regards,

[nolesfan1]

My9 in the Buffalo area...I was under the impression we got that when I signed up and it's since been taken off the channel guide lists.

If I don't get MY9 back in the lineup for the Buffalo area, I'm canceling my FiOS TV subscriptions by next baseball season. I was told when I called about it that we should have it and obviously since we still don't, we don't. Most of what I watch during the summer is baseball, so without My9, I'll be switching back to cable when my contract expires. Hopefully you'll have it back int he lineup soon.

I would love to see the following

• BBC HD
• E! HD
• Cartoon Network HD
• Style HD
• ESPN Classic HD (if it exists)
• NASA HD

How about some Brazilian programming.  FiOS seems to have a decent international selection, but nothing from Brazil?

I would love to see a package deal for:

Globo

PFC

Record

If not that, maybe just Globo to start with.

Hi Kathleen;

     Was wondering if there are any plans to extend FiOS 1 (local news) to Westchester County.   One of the biggest obstacles I hear for people not wanting to switch from Cablevision, is the lack of a News 12 equivalent and the absence of a local Traffic and Weather channel.  The widgets just don't cut it.  I see where FiOS 1 is being pushed for Long Island and I understand it's available in parts of NJ but there seems to be total silence on plans for Westchester.

I'd like to see two channels added -- Equator HD and Rush HD.  These are Canadian channels that used to be available in the United States as a part of the Voom satellite but are now only available in Canada again.  Equator especially had really, really good travel programming and Rush had pretty good 'extreme sports' stuff on it.  More info on Equator is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator_HD_(Canada)

Rainbow also still produces a Voom HD channel that is international only and not available in the US currently.  Would be nice to see that too -- it would be something "different" that other providers don't have.

Beyond that -- as everyone else has already said -- Nasa TV HD, Fuse HD, AMC HD, G4 HD, TruTV HD, MSNBC HD and CNN Headline News HD would be my highlights.

As you said, Equator & Rush are part of VOOM, they are not available to anyone in the Unites States anymore!

[skierrob2]

Why couldn't Equator be available in the USA if a provider like Verizon were willing to pay for the channel?  We have greek programming, German programming, etc.... so why not some Canadian HD channels?

Is there an FCC regulation that I'm not aware of that says Canadian programming can't be shown in the USA even if a provider wants to pay for it?  Is that why no one carries any Canadian channels in the states even though tons of US channels can be viewed in Canada?

[matcarl]

All those VOOM channels are owned by Cablevision. They made the decision to discontinue operations on those channels in the U.S. They only want them provided in other countries, it doesn't matter what someone would be willing to pay.

I would love to see

HERE TV in HD

AMC-HD

BBC America in HD

MSNBC in HD

HBO On Demand in HD 

[madman242]

Yes, another vote for AMC HD, as well as HBO HD on demand please. With the popularity of Mad Men, I know of several people having "Mad Men premier parties". As a new FIOS TV customer, I'm very disappointed AMC HD is not available. No party for me 😞

[steverij]

Hi, Here's another request for AMC HD. With the new season of Mad Men starting on August 16, now would be a great time to add this channel.

Thanks,

Steverij

I guess I also wouldn't mind AMC, but only because of the revamped version of THE PRISONER that's coming this fall.  Actually, if that series could just be offered in HD OnDemand, I'd be satisfied.  Otherwise, I'd probably never watch the channel. (I don't bother watching censored movies.)

[localnj]

Any news on NBA TV available on FIOS line up.

[DannyV]

I'd like to suggest the following HD channels as this would complete my list of wanted HD channels through Verizon FIOS.

G4 HD

Cartoon Network HD

[rmlef2]

AMC HD, HOW ELSE AM I GOING TO WATCH MAD MEN????????

OH, AND MSNBC

[johntylko]

for those of you interested in NASA TV, i've put together an online petition that i will be sending in to the chief marketing officer at verizon.
