Still have not show up on my TiVo HD in Baltimore City.... Or in the online Comcast listings.

Anyone know what's going on?

USA, Sci-Fi, and Discovery were added in December. CNN, TLC, and History should be added this week, possibly Tuesday.

Still no new HD channel additions in a while here in Denver, CO. Last channel add that I recall was back around in October and that was TBS-HD. I only bothered to watch that for the MLB playoffs and I doubt that they would've added it had our team not been in the playoffs. I have a lot of patience but I'm beginning to think about having satellite installed. I originally went with Comcast because apartment management did not allow satellite installs on the roof and for my current apartment it is the only place it can be installed. Management has changed recently however and the new management will allow for it. I'll give Comcast a few more months and if I still don't see any new HD channel additions in my area then I'll start looking at satellite alternatives. Oh and for those wondering my current HD channel lineup is:

HD locals (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc)
Altitude (not always in HD and not for all games)
TBS
A&E
ESPN
ESPN2
TNT
National Geographic
Universal HD
Versus HD
MTV HD
MOJO
Discovery HD Theater
Premium Movie channels (I sub to HBO & Starz atm)

Little bit of a meager offering when it comes to HD if you ask me. And I'm on a pretty up to date system all of the channels that are available are available via digital simulcast.

I wish the Philadelphia area would get more HD channels. Ever since I found out Sci Fi, Discovery, and History are in HD I have been wanting these channels.

Still no CNN HD - I was hoping to see the Clinton/Obama debate in HD.

Anyone here any updates?

It's now FEBRUARY. So where are CNN, History, and TLC for Baltimore?

I called customer service. The CSR said the channels would be added in the first quarter and they were "not available on the system yet". She said it was "up to CNN", whatever the hell that means. Of coure they were right on time with the rate increase.
