Verizon Planning 150 HD Channels for FiOS TV

Verizon said last week that it will roll out 150 HD channels to FiOS TV customers next year, in addition to 1,000 HD On Demand titles. The telco will start by more than doubling the number of HD channels next spring, to more than 60 including additional sports channels.

According to the company, Verizon does not compress the HD signals it gets from content providers before sending them to subscribers, unlike some cable and satellite competitors. This practice of non-compression will continue as the 125+ new HD channels are rolled out.
