[Marcus Carr]

To be added in Baltimore on 10/1, along with Food Network HD.

Cool, now add it in the area with 2 teams about to make the playoffs instead of an area with no teams....

If they don't, I'll post some screenshots for you...

I shiver with excitement.. 2 whole channels? my goodness.. in 3 months the entire country will have a choice to have over 50 HDs channels from Dish or Direct, OR choose a portion of those via Comcast's selection of channels that they think you need.

Comcast better step up to the plate fast... Low # of channels doesn't exite the general public, they want to see # of channels.. Not to mention have comcast stop "counting" HD on-demand shows as a "channel"...

Take your cable bashing elsewhere you dishiot... this is the Comcast forum.

It'll be interesting to see how this is handled here in the Atlanta area. We've had WTBS-HD for a while (all upconverted SD), however with the re-naming and spinning off of the local channel to WPCH it'll be interesting to see if we get both WPCH-HD and TBS-HD.

I don't have a dish, I have Comcast.. thanks for asking... I'm stating a fact about Comcast, they are going to be in a lot of hurt if they don't do something. I'm all for Comcast's superior PQ, but people are going to see the # of channels as the reason to switch..

What I heard was that 807 is going away completely, WPCH has no intentions to do any HD. No mention of TBS HD, although if WPCH doesn't need the channel slot I'd just put the national TBS feed on 807. Too bad... the WTBS HD Braves games always looked great...

Comcast has added any HD in Seattle for months! They say more is coming but don't know.... WHO, WHAT, HOW, WHEN, or WHERE!!! I've you're adding channels elsewhere and all they say is each area is different, and OH WELL! I've told them once I see D* adding channels I'm gone, they say, we don't want to loose you, I say get off your duffs and start adding HD channels!

No HD for WPCH? I'd be surprised since they're already broadcasting a digital signal. I did get a message on my box a few days ago that TBS was moving to channel 39 at the end of the month.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with 7 (likely just becoming WPCH) and 807 (hmmmmm... WPCH-HD or TBS-HD?).
