That's great news, now lets hope it's true.

These should be live by the end of June.

Every one of those channels is a much welcomed addition!

Can Veizon roll these out to their VHO's in reverse order of the IMG upgrade?

[TimSykes]

I could be wrong, but every channel change is done at the same time, its not like a image roll out.

hmmm. That would be cool. Wasn't the LARGE HD channel addition staggered? I think the .tv rollout took 2 or 3 days to reach me.

So, I rescind my request (if it takes less than one week to rollout the channels nationally) and ask that the 1.7 IMG rollout go in reverse order!!!! 😉

My kids are going to be thrilled they watch Nick constantly.

So I found out that it should be rolled out by the end of the month like PSUMatt said, and that it will all be done at the same time for everyone.

It was done with the large rollout by VHO because not all the VHOs were capable of handling the large number of channels without upgrading.  The personnel available to do the upgrade was limited so they had to do a staggered rollout.

Hopefully, when they did the upgrades to each VHO back then they allowed for expansion this time
