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,

[dkimer]

Vz I hope you see the need for adding TCN for your Philly area loyal FIOS customers.

Thanks

TCN- This channel needs to be added immediately to the local area's channel line-up

Fios needs to realize how faithful the Philly fans are to their teams even if it means switching back to comcast ( no one wants to have to either). I actually wouldn't care if they had to charge me the $.50- $1.00 per month charge that comcast is going to charge them for each subscriber to add the channel.

I was a loyal Direct TV customer for 10 years before switching to Fios and the reason I switched was for Comcast sportsnet and now some games are being pushed to TCN and Fios absolutely needs to add this as  local OTA station. Is the administrator Kathy still following this thread.

She is indeed, quite faithfully.

Hi Kathleen,

With the economy still in shambles, I'd like to keep our VerizonFIOS services but my husband says we might need to switch back to Comcast because our introductory special rate with FiOS will soon expire. I'm sure a lot of families are feeling the pinch, like we are, when it comes to juggling necessities and extras.

We have hundreds of FiOS channels, but admittedly we only watch a small percentage with regularity. It would be nice to have the option of "a la carte programming/billing", where subscribers could pick and choose which channels they'd like to subscribe/pay for. Channels could be compiled into pricing tiers (movie channels included), whereby subscribers could make changes to their a la carte programming quickly and easily through their remote control.

Has there been discussion for an option such as this? I think it would be very subscriber friendly, especially during rough economic times. Not to mention, that subscribers could/would be much happier (or more apt to stay with VerizonFiOS during these economic patches) if they had a voice in their programming. Thoughts?

I am requesting the following Channels:

1.   NASA TV

2.   Richmond, VA Channels

3.  Local weather instead of weather for DC, Fairfax, and Northern VA.

I live 60 miles from DC and 45 miles from Richmond.  With Cox I was able to receive both DC and Richmond TV and weather.  The information that I receive from Richmond applies more to my are then DC.

Must add the following in the Philly area...I believe VHO8..

1. The Comcast Network (TCN/CN8)

2. Add the RedZone Channel to the sports package and drop the $50 charge.

3. NASA HD

4. Keep adding those HD channels.....Love it!

Kathy,

I live in Portland, OR and we currently have Comcast Sports Net, but not in HD.  We would love to see the Blazers in HD this year.

[metsmom2k3]

 When I signed up , I was promised by the sales person that I would have SportsNet New York in my sports package. Of course, Verizon doesn't have it. I would love that added since Yes Network HD has recently been added. Since I don't have HD, I can't watch it!

I am a big fan of DIY Network.  Anyone know if an HD version is in the works?

[Sluggo63]

Are there any plans to add  TCN to the Fios lineup?

I hate to miss the Flyers games that are brodcast on it.

Already missed 1 this season.

[Nikki_Bmore]

I was so happy to see that they finally added Comedy Central in HD.  I was starting to miss Jon Stewart (can't wait SD 🙂 ) Next I would love to see BET in HD.

[Sann]

I would like to have MSNBC and the NASA channels.

What is the reason we do not have them??

I know MSNBC is on the FIOS lineup in NY.
