500 HD channels?

[kenloupa]

I am in the Orlando area. A brighthouse technician said that brighthouse was going to have 500 hd channels by the end of the year (possible he says due to sdv). I find that hard to believe and too good to be true, yet I thought I heard them say the same thing on a recent tv ad! Any truth to this????

They are probably counting VOD choices. To my knowledge there are not even close to 500 actual HD channels available.

Is this company run by Comcast? They are running similar ads in PA.

As far as I know, BHN is completely separate from Comcast--they used to be TWC in my area. Anyone else see the 500 HD channels by the end of the year ad?

Yeahhhhhhh that's obviously VOD since there aren't even 500 HD Channels out there!

But when it comes to HD, it's time Brighthouse either goes big or goes home... Time to Step it up Boys!

They don't have even 50 channels HD w/o VOD.

Reminds me of the TV ad where there is a meeting of corporate types around a table trying to figure out how to fool people. Must not be a good ad though, I don't remember what the real point was.

My guess is that IF they could get to 500 HD channels, this would be including all the movie channels such as Starz West HD, HBO comedy, all VOD as others have suggested and even then there aren't even 500 non-HD channels now.

dim house would be lucky to have 100 hd channels by the end of the year, including vod.
