Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. Are most of my HD channels going to suddenly stop working one day?]]>Oct 6th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/Oct 6th 2008 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/

Of course, that's just because they were overcharging for SD in the first place.

Still, Verizon FiOS is looking to be pretty durned expensive nowadays.]]>Oct 7th 2008 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/
I am under a two year contract since July of last year. Seeing as though I just recently added the HBO/Cinemax movie package recently to go along with my Showtime/Starz/TMC/ movie package, I saw over 60 movie channels that now have HD versions.

And they do look very good, for the most part. I would like to have one of those AVS people take a look to see if they are compressing the video somewhat.

Another issue that popped up was that there is a synchronization problem with the audio. I started to notice it a bit while watching Transformers, and then I definitely noticed it when watching I AM Legend on another HBO channel.]]>Oct 8th 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/Oct 9th 2008 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/
We'll be cancelling now.]]>Oct 18th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/verizon-rolls-out-price-increase-with-monumental-hd-roll-out/
I hope we all get some straight answers.

You really should release a media announcement regarding the package change to HD Extreme, and what will happen to HD, and existing customers. If not in the news at least in the mail. The forums and blogs are full of questions and assumptions. They seem to vary by market. When I received my channel realignment notice for September it showed various HD additions, that after the realignment showed up as coming soon. The realignment advertisement in the mail with the new line up did not say coming soon. Now the new October guide shows as coming soon and part of the HD Extreme package. Like many customers I have had to agree twice to the same two year Triple Freedom package. My original package agreement was Oct 2007, when in May 2008 the discounts vanished. I was told something had changed on my account and needed to sign up for a new two year agreement. I was told by a service manager that my internet went month to month, I asked how if it was part of a two year agreement. I agreed to agree again. I have never had a problem with my bill payment, but many problems with billing. As many others have said, your agreement is one way. There have been awful stories about customers HD content being turned off and them being forced into a new one year only grandfathered HD Extreme package. Others have said they had to pay up.
Please, one of you should be able to clear this up, and reduce the negative PR this is causing in the following forums. And perhaps make an announcement there. I know it would do wonders for your company.]]>Oct 19th 2008 11:21AM
