Cablevision to add 15 more HD Channels

[RemyM]

They do not have capacity for 500 HD channels, that is a bold faced lie based on the ability to use SDV for 500 HD channels. They can't even get 15 SDV channels working!

They can get more channels on SDV, they just need to do much more node splitting.

When are the new channels going to show up in NJ. Why are we always last. Its almost midnight and nothing WTF man.

Looks like tomorrow for NJ.......I didn't see anything this morning.

CV has yet to prove that they can get SDV working properly. Also, when it does work, the quality is severely degraded over a dedicated channel.

the 15 HD channels are up in north jersey, its late, but seems like AMC and SCI HD are the only TRUE 24 hour HD channels, what a shame....

In reading the various posts, it seems that FIOS wins out in picture quality versus cable. Just curious since I'm planning on getting FIOS sometime later this year. I currently have Cablevision in my home (Northern NJ) with IO Digital. Aside from TBS and some other supposed HD channels, how does the picture quality compare on true HD broadcasts? I'm currently setup on a Sony with 1080i.

From what I've heard the signal is passed on to the consumer without further compression because FIOS doesn't have to deal with all the bandwith issues as cable does. So pretty much what is sent to them is then passed on to the viewers. I've not once heard complaints en masse about FIOS PQ and with 100 HD channels its more incentive to get it if its available. Meanwhile I patiently wait for the chance to get it.
