CNN channel

[Somebodyelse1]

I am a new subscriber to Verizon triple play. I have 4 tvs. 3 have dvr or box. One is connected to the fios cable without box or dvr. This one receives about 40+ channels including some like France 24,but there doesn't seem to be a CNN channel. Is that possible, that basic Verizon does not include CNN?

Thanks.

Connecting a TV directly to the Verizon service provides you with the local channels available in your area. On a TV that does have a Fios STB or DVR these channels would be found between 1 and 49. CNN is not a local channel and would not be available without a STB or a DVR.

Ah, that's too bad. Both CNN channels were available with a similar direct wall connection on Cox so I thought it would be the same here. Too bad.

Thanks.

All the channels are "available" on your set, but channels such as CNN will be encrypted.  Highly unlikely your TV will accept a Verizon Cable card, but if it does you would be able to receive all your channels.  For now Verizon continues to support the older mandate that locals be unencrypted.  A couple other things like the Weather channel are also not encrypted.
