[QUOTE=&quot;ajc_trw, post: 62691, member: 5514&quot;]Verizon FiOS more than traditional cable systems as FiOS, IIRC, started as a digital cable service with some analog as opposed to traditional cable who started analog and added digital later on.Should FiOS drop SD channels available in HD to make room for more HD channels? It would mean removing SD only boxes but the benefits would be worth it IMHO. 1) The decision of center-cut vs letterbox would be in the hands of the viewer, not Verizon who ultimately ticks off a good portion of its viewers regardless. 2) People with standard TVs will see an increase in PQ on HD channels.3) People with HDTVs won't have to go to the &quot;HD&quot; section as all channels will share a common line-up.4) Space will be freed up from SD VODs. Also see reason 1.P.S.: The small SD converter boxes should have HD ready counterparts just as small if not&nbsp; the same size as Zenith DTT-901s. All IMHO so YMMV. :bowdown:[/QUOTE]
