I have two Tivo Series 3's, so this seems like kind of a waste to me.)<br><br>Neutrals:<br><br>MOJO HD, TBS HD, and SciFi HD.  Don't get me wrong, I am glad I will be getting these channels for either the first time ever (in the case of MOJO) or for the first time in HD.  But in the last 18 months I got some/all of the following only in standard definition: the MLB playoffs, the NHL playoffs, and Battlestar Galactica.  So I would just call this a sour grapes neutral. <br><br>Comments:<br><br>Outdoor Channel (did this channel used to be the Outdoor Life Network -- OLN?) and Golf Channel are part of the Sports Package.  Hi-Def's 500 and 501 are Versus/Golf and Outdoor Channel, respectively.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leonardo DiCrapio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2008 12:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rumor confirmed: FiOS TV to add 27 new HD channels in July]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/04/rumor-confirmed-fios-to-add-27-new-hd-channels-in-july/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/04/rumor-confirmed-fios-to-add-27-new-hd-channels-in-july/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's actually quite a big bump in channels... not bad.

They're also missing MGM HD, Hallmark Movies, Fox News, F/X, Speed, Fox Business News, all the Voom channels, Tennis HD, etc.  Those are the useful ones.  They're missing the placeholder channels like World Fishing Network, MTV, Cartoon Network, etc.  They may be going from last to ahead of Comcast, but they're not even close to Dish (let alone DirecTV) in number of channels.  50 HD channels was a lot at the beginning of 2007.  That's still bottom of the barrel for a multichannel provider in 2008.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Justin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 4th 2008 3:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rumor confirmed: FiOS TV to add 27 new HD channels in July]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/04/rumor-confirmed-fios-to-add-27-new-hd-channels-in-july/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/04/rumor-confirmed-fios-to-add-27-new-hd-channels-in-july/</guid><description><![CDATA[Fox News & Fox Business News in HD?

You can get it in the suburbs outside Portland though. I had to do a quick visit to Verizon's site to double check this when I read this post. I'd love to see Comcast have to compete with FiOS in the city...their service needs a good kick in the @ss.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[joel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 4th 2008 4:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rumor confirmed: FiOS TV to add 27 new HD channels in July]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/04/rumor-confirmed-fios-to-add-27-new-hd-channels-in-july/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/04/rumor-confirmed-fios-to-add-27-new-hd-channels-in-july/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think I picked a great time to switch.

I have FiOS and still have to go to a friends house to see BSG in HiDef! I was seriously thinking about switching to DirectHD, but this could sway me from doing so.
