| A, Call the Dolans and make them an offer they can't refuse.
or
B. Write the FCC in support of Verizon's filing on the Dolan/Cablevision/MSG group withholding MSG-HD from Verizon.
See »policyblog.verizon.com/PolicyBlo···-HD.aspx
and read under MSG HD at
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSG_Network.
Following up on the MB Docket No. 07-198, there are 181 documents under 07-198 which is a lot of filings, comments and letters from a number of people & concerned companies. |

Franklin Square, NY | It doesn't say it's coming soon. The FCC is trying to crack down on it, but they may not win. |

The good thing about competition is that it makes the other companies strive for the best service. In Cablevision's case it made them whine more as their monopoly on CABLE tv service came to an end. So, instead of trying to be the best they can be, they take the low road and withold channels OR make exclusive deals with networks. |

| If MSG HD and MSG + HD does NOT appear on FIOS, then I will have to go back to Time Warner. I heard numerous people went back to their Cable Op to get RSN in HD , that are not on FIOS. Also the SD picture is about the same on FIOS as TW Cable, and Phone / Internet is about the same too. Also I have to see what or if any Staten island programming will be on FIOS, I am a fan of it , and what is seen on Time Warner Cable. TWC has Caller ID on TV too, Verizon does not. Hopefully TIme Warner will add Wireless to the TWC like Verizon / Verizon Wireless so I can have ONE Bill. , like I do with Verizon now. Verizon HD wins over TWC , but HD On TWC is a pass, its not all that bad. |

Millington, NJ | You could also go to DirecTV. With MPEG4 and about 100 HD channels there's not much I miss.
But I sure hope VZ wins this fight with the Dolans. That will be happy day for everyone (except the Dolans, of course). |

Eventually Verizon will get it. CV is just stalling as long as possible, for competitive advantage. Verizon, for some reason prefers the FCC route to the courts. At any time they have the option of an anti-trust suit. Content deliverers who also own content are required to operate the ownership side as if it's a separate business. Not selling content is seen as anti-competitive behavior (except under the terrestrial ruling), as they are seen to be passing up income, to favor the delivery side of their business. |

DO we have any idea how long it might take for some ruling by the FCC to occur on this? |

I don't plan on DIRECTV, I had them and canceled. They don't offer Local from SI Prog . I hope the FCC doesnt wait to long on a ruling and hope that article gave us a hint, it says FALL, and FAll is right around the corner. I am waiting for 4 things from Verizon, MSG HD, MSG + HD, And Staten Island Local Programming, FIOS 1, which is all seen on TW Cable (NY 1). FIOS 1 will be in NYC Area I am told late 2008 early 2009. I have to see also what Staten Island programming will be carried on FIOS. It will be on FIOS, as what I know, it was in the NYC Contract, a major factor at the NYC Public Hearing and to be competitive.
I am also waiting for the Knicks, Rangers, Isles and Devils live on SD Quality of MSG and MSG Plus. How is the quality of LiVE Events? I Just hope all this comes into play soon.
Thanks

| And I don't want to cancel and go back to TW Cable and pay 200.00 , in case I have to. I also have Verizon Wireless on Verizon ONE BILL, something I have been waiting for 3 years, and TW Cable and Sprint were to form the Pivot service, but was halted. Pivot carried Sprint Charges on the TW Bill as Verizon Wireless does with Verizon.
ALso on FIOS SD, some are real good, and some are spotty.
Any improvements coming to the SD on FIOS ? The Tech told me on the phone , is how they get signal is what they send to customers. |

The SD picture quality on FiOS is far superior to any other provider. That said, I don't care about SD since I don't watch any channels that aren't HD. |

@aol.com | Well I still watch the SD on HDTV, and its the same more or less then TW Cable. , meaning some are good and some are spotty. The SD oon the SD TV is excellent as the HD on the HDTV is. |

| Pressuring the Cablevision and MSG Network and FCC, Don't they have a hint? , The hint is get MSG HD and MSG + HD on the Verizon FIOS TV System's . For 2 years , after the SD was signed on to Verizon carrying MSG and then FSN New York, (November 16, 2006). , Pressure has been mounting on the FCC , MSG Network and Cablevision to get the HD on Verizon, don't they think what customers are hinting at.
How is the MSG , MSG + delivered differently (Over Satellite) and MSG HD and MSG + HD is delivered Not over Satellite , but over Fiber according to Cablevision ). How is the SD and HD feeds on Time Warner Cable, DIRECTV , Comcast and Not Verizon? |
