    Any new Hd Channels due out?

    ADVERTS 1
    Does anyone know if any new channels are set to air in HD?
    I would like to see HD Net, SmithsonianHD(SMTHHD),SpeedHD,VSHD & the NHLHD offered in the HD package. Also does anyone know if the NASCAR package is broadcast in HD?
    I guess I was spoiled when I had DTV, but now I had no choice but to go with comcast because of all the trees surrounding the new house and no clear line of sight to the satellites for HD.
    One thing I can say good about Comcast is the picture being sent in Hd is of a much much higher quality. Now if only there were more Hd channels that would make my day.

    You need to provide your location at a minimum. Comcast offerings vary by city.

    VS HD is available here in Atlanta... the rest, no.

    Nothing new since early December when we had 7 added.

    On Saturday 2/9, all HD was out at 1am in Boston

    I called, they said they were changing out all the equipment in the Natick/Boston area to MPG4 encoders to add ALOT of HD.

    This was from a tech rep, not a CSR.

    Today, we got CSSNEHD - comcast sports New England HD

    So lets hope we get a few more. I'd love SCIFI-HD!!!!!

    And that list explains why you are happier with your service than many of us. Here in Rockford, we just got switched from Insight. We have about 1/2 the HD offerings you do.
