FSN New York becoming MSG Plus HD, more HD coming to Staten Island

We're not certain if this change will affect more than a few key areas of New York and New Jersey (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bergen, Mt. Vernon and Hudson Valley to be precise), but Fox Sports Net New York is set to become MSG Plus in mid-March. As expected, FSN NY HD will also become MSG Plus HD, but channel slots on TWC aren't expected to change. Around the same time, YES HD in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island will be relocating from channel 730 to 753, while NY1 HD gets added to the Time Warner Cable lineup in Woodside and Staten Island (only, unfortunately) on slot 701. For subscribers on Staten Island, you can also look forward to seeing Discovery HD (766), Animal Planet HD (786), TLC HD (752) and Science Channel HD (755). Needless to say, Manhattan gets the proverbial shaft yet again, but we'll keep you posted if things change. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]

Can anyone in Staten Island afford an HDTV?









Too soon?

hate to break it to you but Staten island can afford more than most other borrows, maybe outside of Manhattan.

Wewt! Discovery HD has been on my wishlist for a while. Between that, Science HD and NGC HD (which we already get), I think we're just about set for nonfiction entertainment in HD.

Bring on Sci-Fi HD, and they'll have themselves one satisfied HD viewer. :)

This is complete Bullshit. I'm all for SI getting more HD, but the discrimination being dealt to Manhattan is rediculous! We pay more for a lot less.

To add to it, TWC also gave the royal shaft to Queens and Brooklyn customers outside of Woodside when they teased us with 10 new HD channels loaded in the guide for a week, only to pull the off two days ago...What a fine company!

So is this also coming to DirecTV customers in the area?
