Not sure why we have to wait until July here since our infrastructure was built out as all digital.. but irregardless, more HD channels will be a welcome site.]]>May 8th 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/

And most likely...the season will be split up, somewhere around the 10th to 12th episode. Thats how they did season 2 and 3...so you'll probably get to see the second half of the episodes in HD...]]>May 9th 2008 7:42AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Lifetime HD EAST, but no FX HD?

Eliminating 50 analog channels opens up enough bandwidth for 100 HD channels, without adding any QAM channels. FiOS is only adding 27 HD channels, that leaves plenty for their other additions.

If FiOS wanted to squeeze 3 HD channels per QAM, why wait? They could've added channels long ago.

I believe that Verizon doesn't want to invest in the equipment to squeeze bits, because they agreed to go all digital (part of the FCC deal to get a 1 year integration ban waiver). I believe it is cheaper for them to add QAM channels then it would be to squeeze 3 HD channels onto 1 QAM.

The other big difference between FiOS and cable, is that VOD doesn't take up any QAM bandwidth.

All of these factors should allow FiOS to continue to provide the best PQ, even if they can't compete on selection.]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Jun 13th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Jun 13th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Jun 13th 2008 4:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Jun 19th 2008 11:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Jun 20th 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/26-new-hd-channels-for-fios-tv-by-the-end-of-july/Jun 25th 2008 3:27PM
