Same here.......needed a new more pricier package to get my outdoor and sports related channels. F-ers! Also, the so-called 100+ channels in my market (Baltimore area) consist largely of simulcasted channels of the premiums like HBO, Showtime, etc. On top of that, they are also the HBOeast, HBOwest, HBO2east, HBO2west etc etc channels. They've also added HD channels that I've never seen or heard of before......even from the other service providers. Doesn't mean they suck, but you'd think vzn would try better to get the bigger named channels instead of these low production value mom-and-pop channels.
Where is MOJO HD? Anyone ever see the "Three Sheets" show?? To each his own, I suppose.
VERY disappointed with FIOS tv so far.
What the hell are you talking about. I wish I had the HBO's in HD.
BTW, Mojo HD no longer exists.

You're complaining about HBO simulcasts?
I would be more concerned about not having MASN HD (no Nationals or Orioles in HD for you), or no NBA TV in SD or HD. Comcast has a better sports lineup, but you'll have to live with compressed HD.
I'm actually somewhat disappointed with FiOS TV as well. A lot of that is because I was used to Comcast, and I don't see significant gains in picture quality. The organization of ondemand on comcast and the way they split up each ondemand section by giving it its own channel is much nicer, but the FiOS box does seem pretty zippy even if the organization of everything sucks. I also really miss the ratings that were the info section for all movies in Comcast... Overall, I think if you are comfortable with your current service, it is definitely not worth switching. Re-learning the channel setup should be enough in itself to discourage you from switching...
Seriously though, unless you plan on utilizing the significantly higher upload speeds, switching is more of a pain than anything else. The other thing I don't get is - how does bringing fiber optic cables straight to my home help me if everything from the fiberoptic cable runs through a box and then has a standard coax output from which everything (tv and internet) is being split?
