Off the top of my head, HD Net Movies, HDNet, MGM HD, Smithsonian HD & WGN HD. I am sure there are a few others as well. The ones I listed FIOS carries, so the competition still has an up, but Cablevision is moving their butts finally.

Saw you post this on Cable Rant as Mike09.

Nice list, too bad a lot of those channels are not live yet!

I just saw the same thing and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why I'm listed as Mike09, then it dawned on me that I only posted it once, HERE. Someone stole my thunder. I post on all the boards under mws192 and my name isn't Mike.

Sorry if the list isn't accurate, but I only listed the channels that the AVS chart says that someone carries now, not the one's listed as future launch. If they're incorrectly listed in the graph or I copied it wrong then so be it, mistakes happen. I'm just trying to help out.

Can anyone confirm they went live in the Bronx this morning?

So nice to get the week started with great news. Now shut up FIOS, Cablevision has 100 HD channels. But thanks for the competition to give them the push.

CV Press Release:
Free HD Is In Bloom This Spring For Optimum Customers

if more people called in or went to their website to request it im sure they would add it eventually however more people call in for more religious programming, espnu or nfl network then bbca

CV keeps a count of channels people call in to request and you have access to those numbers?

There was a Newday poll a while back asking what new channels people wanted and BBCA won in a landslide. That info would certainly be of the same nature as "calling in" or going to CV's website. Given the garbage CV (and other providers) carry I find it hard to believe BBCA is not on because of lack of popularity.
