Granted - poorly worded. My point is you can argue their position is even weaker - as DirectTV is a competitior of Cablevision (apparently one they're not as concerned about) and they have provided them the channel. If they had never provided the channel to the "marketplace" (not SD or HD to...

I think Cablevision can get away giving MSG-HD to DirectTV using the "terrestial loophole" under FCC rulings - but the fact they provide it to Time Warner is going to be very difficult to defend, as it smacks of restraint of trade. Here is more info. from Verizon's Policy Blog: Posted by...

The fact that Cablevision does provide MSGHD to Time Warner's New York cable systems but not Verizon may come back to haunt them. It looks like FIOS is ratcheting up the pressure by going to the FCC to review the matter. I'm betting that that Cablevision will eventually lose and be forced to...

I'm sure you're posting OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART. Except you've consistenly LIED to all of us about actually having FIOS TV service - that's what a shill does. You've been caught. Go back into your hole. No more goodies from the Dolans for you.

How come you removed your original post? Rejoice in the fact that you are nothing more than a Cablevision shill. Please stop clogging up this forum with your ridiculous @#$%

[/B] Please do - if in fact you ever really left. Pardon me for strongly suspecting you are nothing more than a shill for cablevision.

It looks like they've added Discovery HD (simulcast of regular Discovery channel - not Discovery HD Theatre) on channel 846.

A&E HD LMN HD Food Network HD HGTV HD Sportsnet HD There are rumors that History HD, Discovery HD, The Science Channel HD, TLC HD and the Animal Planet HD will be added by year-end. But I never bet any money on rumors.

WOW - Cablevision wil have 500 hd channels by this time next year. I can't wait to see that. Oh no they said the will have the ability to carry 500, while Verizon is promising to actually carry 150. I guess only time will tell. Two other points: A. Verizon has added five HD channels this...

My neighbor is still with Cablevision and I've seen them at his house. Like me, he thinks they're nice "eye candy" and is furious they wasted what little bandwith Cablevison has left on them. Following Verizon's announcement last week that they will begin a massive expansion of national HD...

Not for me. After they add all the major national HD channels, why not. They'll need a lot more channels than are currently available to reach the 150 promised by year-end 2008.

I switched from Cablevision five months ago. Does Cablevision still have awful SD quality? I hear it does - FIOS blows it away as far as picture quality. Also why on earth did they waste incredibly precious bandwith capacity to add FIFTEEN Voom channels instead of real national HD channels...

I switched from CV to FIOS three months ago and have been extremely happy with their service. The standard definition picture is amazingly superior and the internet service faster (20 mb download and 5mb upload). The HD DVR is about equal to the SA 8300HD (I was having HDMI "handshaking"...

Why the hell would I believe what a "Cablevision technician" says "testing" (really?) a FIOS installation - funny my install was done by Verizon technicians. Do a search on DSL reports of people who have FIOS and have actually tested electric usage. As for premium on demand built in to the...
