Re: New HD Channels?
At this point I'm only waiting for the Cartoon Network. Verizon has provided everything but the NFL Ticket at this point. I would like to see the NBA and NHL packages in HD though. |

NBA / NHL in HD to me would be a waste of bandwidth unless they could do these IP based. But, considering InDemand does not carry all the games in HD anyway it is a moot point. |

Leesburg, VA | It's only a waste of bandwidth since you don't want them. I'm sure 90% of the other people here would rather see those channels in HD then the .tv channels, Tennis HD, Mav Tv or YES. |

No, it is a waste of bandwidth to carry them in HD because they are part time stations that would require several QAMs.
And -- I completely agree with the stations you listed, I could care less about them as well, but at least they are full time stations (with the exception of YES, which I don't count since the point of the station is Yankees games which can't air outside of NY). |

1 edit | They aren't exactly full time stations when they rerun the same programming. The demand on the part time programming is higher then these. |

Tennis Channel HD is probably the channel I watch the most. I could care less about the NBA Channel. The same basically goes for the NFL Network. |

BTW, I would be the first to subscribe if Extra Innings was in all HD, but I still think it would be a waste of QAM space  |

1 edit | InDemand has two HD services. Game HD (VZ VC#1474) is used for MLB/NHL coverage and Team HD is used for NBA/MLS coverage (will be on VZ VC#1489 for start of NBA season)... |
