FIOS Channel lineup changes

[StevenA]

With the line-up changes that took effect this month, it looks like Verizon has cleared a block of HD channels at 817-824, and I think they cleared a block of SD channels somewhere in the lower numbered channels as well. Does anybody know what Verizon's plans are for those blocks?

Also, did we gain or lose any stations, or did they just shuffle things around?

The plan is to align all of the national channels with the rest of the FiOS infrastructure. When that is complete in a few weeks we should be getting more national channels esp. in HD.

We lost the LIME channel and we gained channel 111 which is a FiOS help channel.

I looked at a recording I had set on the DVR for one of the moved channels. It was not clear if the schedule got updated or not so I went ahead and deleted and readded the program so I would make sure I would get it. (Rome on HBO). If you have a DVR and had record orders for any of the HD channels abobe 808 you might want to check to make sure you are getting what you wanted recorded.
