The fiber-to-the-home network currently offers 21 national cable channels in HD.
For those of you on the fence about whether to invest in FiOS, soon they might be the masters of all high-def programming. The all-encompassing service provider just announced plans to increase its high-definition programming lineup to 150 channels by the end of 2008.
“Once more, Verizon leads the way,” Shawn Strickland, Verizon’s vice president of video solutions, said in a statement. Tell that to the 700,000 customers that were watching baseball playoffs without HD!
The company has recently been under fire for not adding HD channels, such as TBS HD.
Patience, people! All Things High-Def says that Verizon will first double its HD channels up to 60, starting in spring 2008. They also plan to make their HD video-on-demand lineup 1,000-titles strong by the end of that year.
50 more HD channels than DirecTV will offer? Interesting.
Fair enough, Craig. It has been fixed. Thanks.
Clearly the writer doesn’t know english. By 2008 means they will have 150 channels by the end of this year. They meant to say either by 2009 or by the end of 2008. Both of which are very, very different.
I love the name Rachel

DTV already has video on demand in Beta. With the last software upgrade on either of the DVRs you can activate the service. I wonder how FIOS is counting—all of the PPV options in HD as channels or not?
