Do you live in the NY area or something?

Shhh: Don't switch if it's true. Musical satellite forecasts > "balalalalaaaabababalalaababaabala. High 52". <- And there goes the music.

I do live in the New York Area....technically

Victor, if you're in Atlantic City, how can you say you're in the New York City metropolitan area?
In my mind, the farthest south in consideration is basically Ocean County (based on TV market).
You're actually closer to Philadelphia than New York City anyway.

I wish Verizon FiOS customers a lot of luck that they deliver what they're promising. I seriously do.
But given my experience with Cablevision, I don't trust any provider with such lofty promises.

Here's their latest update for New York City customers. I find it interesting that this coincides with Cablevision adding 15 HD channels this week.

Here's their latest update for New York City customers. I find it interesting that this coincides with Cablevision adding 15 HD channels this week.

I don't find it interesting at all. FiOS' channels were planned for NYC long before Cablevision, to my knowledge.
