You should be able to expand your signature now. I've doubled the size.

No. Verizon FIOS is Cablevision's biggest competition. Cablevision/MSG will never allow FIOS to have the MSG networks in HD. |

There's an action in front of the FCC to decide the legality of Cablevision blocking FIOS, they just haven't made a decision on it...and the amount of power the FCC has is even in question. I think there's also a factor that Cablevision isn't allowed to withold a channel for competitive purposes, legally. Don't quote me on that though. |

Well I'll tell you one thing, the MSG HD factor is the only thing holding me back from going to FIOS, and many of my friends also. If Verizon ever won that in court it would be a HUGE loss for Cablevision. Customers bled them dry when they lost FOX for a few weeks, I can't even imagine how much money they'd give up trying to keep customers. FIOS is absolutely a better product, there's no question. |

Yea...my house woulda been wired up for FIOS over the summer if not for the MSG dispute. So I went w/ Comcast... But I must say...although overpriced...Comcast does have a ridiculously unbelievable amount of on demand content...and most of it is "free". I'd say it was great if not for my $190 monthly bill (phone, internet, 2 HD DVR boxes, HBO, SHO, Starz, MAX) ...which I am sure is the 6 month or 1 year promo price. |

sy, my girlfriend has FIOS and they have the same amount of on demand content and free content. Possibly even more. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with Cablevision. And the little I've seen of Comcast it seems like a good product as well. But FIOS seems like the best. Perfect world I'd get DirecTV, cant go wrong with the NFL Sunday Ticket. |
