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,

Kathleen-

Since it's sort-of out of the bag over on DSL Reports that there will be a block of HD's added in Q4 - any official word from you guys on the list?

Thanks!

So now you've got YES (Yankees) in HD. When will you add NESN (Red Sox)?

I would like to second that request. 

We've got YES and MASN; I would like to see NESN (New England Sports Network) added to the channel lineup.

Where are all the "NATIONAL" public interests channels that fulfill the FCC "MUST CARRY" laws???  Awesome channels like the following???

1) LINK TV  http://www.linktv.org/

2) FREE SPEECH TV  http://www.freespeech.org/

Channels like these for the most part do not charge a fee to carry the channels...  Since Satellite TV does not carry the local public interest channels they carry the national ones like the above to fulfill the FCC requirement.  Why not cut satellite off at the knees and carry these channels as well as the local ones you carry now?  Verizon would be increasing the public interest substantially and inviting many satellite viewers to try FIOS TV!!!

Please Add BBC America as an HD channel.  The watching HD programming at Standard resolution is sucha tease.   BBC America has some great programming, please let it be transmitted at the HD resolution.

Thanks for the great thread.  I am going to keep it short with only my most pressing suggestions.

1) best show on TV starts this Sunday and it is sad that I can't see Man Men on AMC HD.

2) I had heard that NBATV/NBATVHD would be available for the start of the new season, but I will reiterate my desire for that channel here.

and, most importantly, 3) Fox Soccer Channel goes to HD on January 1, 2010.  This channel should be mandatory.  Get it done now so you don't have to worry about it in December.  This would lead me to look into a switch if you failed to add the channel and your competitors added it.

Finally, I just want to thank you for keeping up the good fight against Cablevision's blatantly illegal tactics of keeping MSG in HD and other channels away from you.  I'd love to see MSG in HD, but I'm not going to reward Cablevision for their sneaky underhanded tactics.  I will reward them for FSC HD and NBA TV HD though, so keep on adding channels in HD!  Thanks!

One more.  Hadn't considered this since I'm in NYC metro, but if you add the "mtn." network to your sports package I would immediately add it.  HD would be an awesome bonus.  Verizon Fios rocks!

I changed my mind on this channel. I was just overly excited when it was announced.

I was excited to see MSNBC becomeI  available to some customers in New York, but my zip, 10606, can't get it.  I'm anxious to be in that loop!!

In the Boston area, we get NESN HD but we don't ahve NESN 2.  This is usually not a problem unless the Red Sox get bumped from NESN to NESN 2.

Add AMC HD immediately.  It really is a black mark for Verizon to advertise how up to speed they are in HD but not have a network with a very popular show like Mad Men in HD.  New season starts tonight and is definitely better in HD (at least from what I can remember when I had Comcast;(

Kathleen,,,,,,,,Fortuna hits the nail on the head regarding AMC HD with Mad Men. I have considered switching back to Comcast for this sole reason!
