Noted: Verizon said today that MSNBC HD is now available on channel 603 for all of its TV customers nationwide. By its count, FiOS now has 138 HD channels (I’m off by one on my FiOS HD channel count page).
MSNBC HD has been around since June 2009 and is already available on most paid-TV services, including Time Warner Cable and Dish Network.
In Orange County, Verizon offers FiOS TV service in certain parts of cities: Brea, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, La Habra, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Stanton and Westminster. When I checked with the company about its O.C. roll out in the past month, Verizon said it continues to pursue potential customers in existing neighborhoods rather than building the service out to new residents.
Recent HD channel news:

Verizon FiOS is getting msnbc in HD now??? AT&T UVerse has been gettting msnbc in HD for the last couple of months already.
Is either ever going to come to RSM?
I believe AT&T is RSM’s telephone provider, right? So, no FiOS for a very, very, very long time. Verizon going after its own people first and it’s far from completing that task.
