Here's some official confirmation TWC|HD is coming to FiOS! The new channel lineups for Portland (OR) and Fort Wayne (IN) show TWC|HD on channel 619! It comes to Ft. Wayne on 6/30 and Portland on 7/21.

Also, it's worth noting SD-TWC moves from channel 99 to channel 119.

I'm excited, and can't wait for a Pittsburgh announcement!

Looks like there's now an official date as to when the new channels, including TWC|HD, and huge channel reassignments (including TWC moving to a 3-digit channel number!) are coming to the Pittsburgh Metro area... 8/6/08.

[many misc. changes throughout, not going into details, though]

Just to clarify, are all these changes you listed occuring nationwide, or just the "local plus channels?"

They're occurring nationwide. I was listing the LocalPlus as examples... but, all markets are changing on different dates. From vicious rumors I read earlier, looks like Philadelphia may be one of the last markets to get them.

Awesome, I hope FiOS serves the San Francisco Bay Area.

I think it's better than Comcast I used to have

BTW- how much do you guys pay per month for the DVR?

Portland (OR) - 7/21
New York - 7/23
Northern New Jersey - 7/30
Pittsburgh Metro - 8/6
Richmond Area - 8/13
