Re: FiOS1 For Long Island & northern NJ
So maybe 501 is only in NJ right now. |

said by Lee GWB  :Matt, The "Promo" has "snip it's" from what I would think were fron the "Interviews" of the probable reporters. One was a a Traffic report that was local to NNJ and New Jersey is "Splahed" all over the place on the promo. So is SEEMS pretty local. At one point, the NJ promo also has the temperature for "Sag Harbor" at the bottom of the screen

I'm at work ...
But I'm goint to ASSume that even if the content itself is currently SD, the 501 feed to the box is upconverted to 720p or 1080i to be sent to the homes.
That way people won't get that momentary sync/black screen that happens on many TV's when switching between HD & SD signal stations ( Assuming you have the box's SD override set to native" 480i, for the SD channels).
Good idea, since I'm much more likley to watch this channel if it's in the HD "surf mix" between 500-950 |

Franklin Square, NY | I guess right now the promo is 480i since the channel didn't start yet, I would guess it will be an HD signal after startup on Monday with the momentary lapse you call it. |

| Just an FYI - I've watched NY1 on TWC in Queens many times and although NY1 has an SD & an HD channel, the HD channel is always in SD with blue bars on either side with the NY1 logo on it. FIOS1 may follow suit. The HD channel version may be the SD feed with bars on either side, so it will not be true HD. |

Franklin Square, NY | I don't think they would go out of their way and make an HD channel if they weren't planning on broadcasting some material in HD, that would be pretty dumb, but we'll see. |

NY 1 HD was suppose to be upgraded to Full HD in May according to NY 1 General manager in an email to me, but it still has the sidebars . The Picture is better HD than SD on channel 1 as to 701 . yes I think it makes the best sense to do HD FIOS1 on Channel 501 if they are following of Ny 1 and News 12 , although I don't think News 12 has an HD Channel |

The blond woman shown in the NJ Traffic Report Clip is Kristina Behr from WPIX.
She used to be in the WPIX Air11 Chopper for the AM news traffic reports and was last doing reports in studio when WPIX stopped having a reporter in Air11.
I don't recognize any of the other anchors.
I'm glad to see from the promos that it will be a news channel like News12 and not a loop of taped news and non news segments like NY Non Stop. |

Just a looping roll at the moment, but the channel could be the NEWS12NJ equivalent. We'll have to wait and see.
Fingers crossed that it is better than NEWS12NJ. |

I'll set a recording for Monday 5am when some reports have said it will start broadcasting.
It's in the clear with the other local broadcast channels at QAM 65.7. |

Will they put this channel on in Rockland County, New York or do we have to wait for our own channel eventually. I guess we are part of Westchester. I am curious because we are close to Allendale, NJ. |
