Got good deal on internet/TV combo...
Ok, I'm all installed as of yesterday 5/21 and all is great so far.
I still have dual service with cablevision for the next few day's anyway, because I want to make sure I like everything with the dvr and and programing with Fios.
Anyway I just noticed CV just added Vs/Golf channel in the HighDef. Ch. group on Ch. 719.
I am a hockey fan so now if I stay with Fios I will not have Hockey in Hd and if I choose I will have to pay for the Golf Ch.
Oh well the season is almost over and I'm shure Verizon will add this channel,
Ahhh hopefully.

I'm a hockey fanatic. As much as I hate the Dolans, if I lived in CVC territory no way I would switch to FiOS. No MSG HD, FSN in HD or VS/Golf.
