In case anyone didn't notice (Verizon rarely announces), almost every region should now have these channels in HD:

644 Oxygen

667 Cooking Channel (roll out not quite complete)

741 TV Land

Several International HD's were added as well.

1515 Antenna3 Spanish HD
1759 MBC Drama USA HD

Thanks for the heads up. Verizon used to put messages about new channels in the message center. You would think they would let people know about the additional channels since it's a good thing. Always nice to have more in HD.

They will, but not until the rollout is complete. This one seems to be taking a while.

Also, for NY/NJ hockey fans, it looks like MSG is using channel 579 for both MSG2 and MSG+2 games now. The only time a team will be bumped to SD only is when all four teams are playing, which is fairly rare. Most other providers like Comcast, Cablevision, and AT&T appear to use one channel most of the time for overflows like this.

YES finally a good solution from Verizon!  I can live with that.  Well done Verizon.
