Dish adds TBS HD too, where's FIOS?

Dish subscribers only missed a few HD MLB playoff games, but now they get to enjoy the rest because yesterday TBS HD showed up. We're not keeping score, but we believe that Verizon's FIOS is the last hold out. Only the most devout HD baseball fan would switch providers just to watch the playoff in HD, but we're sure there will be a few; especially if Verizon continues to extend this six month HD dry spell while every other provider is adding HD channels at a record pace.

Mediacom has not yet added TBSHD.. Then again Mediacom doesn't add much when it comes to HD :)

Comcast has yet to add TBS HD in many areas. Including mine. Did I mention I live in a state Capital?

Other than the Baseball playoffs TBS has Zero 16:9 HD content. It all that stretched awful looking stuff. Even the movies they show are stretched. Once the playoffs are over with this will be a useless station.

What about Uverse??? Have they added it yet?

What happens when baseball is done? Does TBSHD have any real HD?

comcast in Salt lake city just added TBS HD on Saturday, a few days late for the playoffs but better then nothing,

btw what else do they have that is in HD?

tbville, apparently nothing else on TBSHD is true 16:9 HD. So I don't think anyone should get too excited about getting this station.

Cox has not added TBS HD in the Wichita, KS market. Thats just like Cox, say they did it, then do it half-arsed and hold off on the smaller markets. At least satallite is consistent. I mean, honestly, why can't cox have the exact same channel lineup in all their markets. Plus, the Wichita market is not that small, the only problem I suppose is that much of the Wichita market is rural, which means old crappy lines that can't handle much HD. *Shrug*

I read on the Verizon Surround Sports forum that the Verizon business office told a customer that they have tentative plans to add TBS HD during Q108...but even then, it might still be up for debate. So doesn't look like it will happen during this year's playoffs. :-(

They just added TBS HD to Time Warner Los Angeles yesterday for the MLB Playoffs. I searched online and on my cable info channels regarding any future HD channels and nothing. I'm not very optimistic about TW's future HD prospects relative to DirecTV & Dish.

I'm switching to FiOS in 2 weeks, but by then it won't matter, because all the TBS games will have been played already.

Charter has added a few of the new HD channels (mostly that upsampled stretched mess), but no TBS yet.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 7th 2007 1:43PM]

Doesn't really matter. Once the games are up there will be nothing to watch on it anyway, unless you like strech-o-vision.

Well, I certainly appreciate the top that it's now on DISH! My TiVo didn't know about that yet, and I wouldn't have noticed. Used Google to find that it's channel number 542. Looks great! Looking forward to today's game. Go Sox!

Now all they need to ass is Bravo, SciFi Channel,USA Network, CNN and The Weather Channel.

I feel a little guilty when an HD channel gets added that doesn't make it into my Favorites. :(
