In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? Lauren commented: Please. My comcast lineup is filled with those same duplicates - just in plain old standard def. Hasn't cable embraced the multiplex strategy? They're just behind the 8 ball on multiplex in HD. Behind on HD period. Plus the tiling I get on comcast is painful. It's time for a change.

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? vito t commented: awful job trying to put a negative spin on something positive. 100 channels is 100 channels and they are available to those in new york that can get it. satellite claims 100+ hd channels while a lot of pay per view or regional sports network so actual count that one can see is around 70. time warner and cablevision dont even carry all these premium channels in high def.

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? Charles W. commented: so what if DISH and Direct inflate their HD counts in the same way. Verizon shouldnt be jumping off the cliff just because they're doing it.

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? brad commented: not only do d&d do the same on east / west feeds (which seems somewhat fair), they also count their hd ppv channels, which seems even more bogus to me (cable and vz of course have hd vod).

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? Kyle Luna commented: If cable wants to count HD VOD and HD channels together as "1000+ HD choices", DirecTV, Dish Network and FiOS should be able to do the same with east and west coast feeds as well as HD PPV since there's almost always something different on them at a given time.

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? Kyle Luna commented: One more note, before anyone points out that many of the HD PPV channels have the same movies on but starting at about a half hour apart, Digital Cable was doing that not to long ago as part of the "Near Video On Demand" concept prior to Video On Demand becoming widespread and PPV shifted more to a Events Only thing. It's so people who don't have HD DVR's and access to DirecTV On Demand or Dish On Demand can get a simulated experience where they can catch a PPV Movie when they're ready almost every half hour. DirecTV and Dish Network will probably decrease the HD PPV channels down the road when HD DVRs get more penetration in the market. Until then they will just be another "choice" for satellite viewers using cables own marketing logic...

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? Chris commented: I would gladly swap my Dish Network HD lineup for the Verizon channels right now! If only it were available in Phoenix.

In response to: Verizon's 100 HD Channels: Too Many Duplicates? Guest commented: Hey, if I can watch something at 8pm instead of 11pm on the east coast feed out here on the west coast, I count that as another channel. Uverse does the same thing, Charter which I just left doesn't, so I've got more options of when and what to watch in HD.
