Wow - that's an awesome deal!
I've had the Tivo HD now for a little over a month w/ 2 cable cards - I LOVE IT.
I just went online this morning to Amazon and ordered a movie to watch this weekend (They have a lot of great 99 cent deals). It will download to my Tivo this afternoon while i'm...
FIOS is in no hurry to add these channels - they care nothing about them or other sports channels like CSTV or Big Ten.
FIOS TV has been around for almost 3 years now - and still no sports packages other than ESPN's gameplan.
If you want Center Ice, or any of the other sports packages...
Andrew-
I switched over to Tivo with FIOS a little over a week ago.
They come out with 2 cable cards. IT blows away the Verizon HD-DVR.
You get guide data that's actually correct and descriptive - and yeah, you lose on Demand, but VZ's version of it was terrible.
You make up for it...
Sorry to disappont, but that is just Verizon's guide data screwing up. It pretty much shows "HD" on just about everything - including the local weather subchannels.
Be on the lookout though for 1 new HD channel soon...

Most likely they don't have your account properly coded. Call into the FSC 888-553-1555 and tell them you can't access VOD and to check the coding of your account. This happened to me when I first got set up.

FIOS is being built from scratch! What, do you want them to blink their eyes and have millions of miles of plant hung from a pole overnight?? Lol...what a un-founded statement.
With the addition of Food HD and HGTV HD this past week (okay, I know we also got LMN HD) - I just have to say the picture quality of HD on FIOS TV is AMAZING.

HD Rollout On Again
The rollout started back again today after 2 days off..
New York is now seeing the new HD's.
Still waiting:
DE / PA / South Jersey
MA
Southern VA
Today it's HD Christmas for North Jersey.
So, to summarize:
Has the new channels: TX, FL, MD, Northern VA, Northern NJ
Does not: DE, PA, CA, NY, MA, South NJ, Mercer County NJ, Southern VA
Hey guys - confirmed with 3 sources only in Texas for now - we'll all get them "soon"....
**EDIT** - looks like Florida is now seeing the new channels as well.
The funny thing is that channel isn't live even in Mercer County!
Just more bumbling and inaccurate information on the rarely-updated Channel lineup site.
They also list "The Word Network" on 267 - but noone has that either.
