Comedy Central HD Launched / New Sportsman Channel

i sub to "the HBO package" (not just HBO HD) and I get 8 HBO channels. its free for 3 months and my HD access fee is wavied for 3 months as well. it came with Showtime Unlimited (9 channels, 6 in HD) and Starz Super Pack (12 channels, 5 in HD). So 28 premium channels (13 in HD) plus their On Demand content free for for 3 months. not bad huh?

Also since I got the others I only pay 7 bucks for Cinemax instead of 12.

I'd rather pay that than watch a heavily edited, heavily censored, commercial filled, wrong aspect ratio movie or standup special on Comedy Central. Their on demand content even has commercials!

No. Hence why I don't subscribe to it.

Sorry about the duplicate posts. I was having some problems with Safari. I also did mean to state something already on the thread, but when I first started the post, it wasn't on there. Then I had to go, but I left my post opened and I didn't post it yet. When I posted it later, there was already a post about it there. I can't delete my post's so it's was there twice.

Again I am sorry.

Josh

EDIT: I figured out how to delete my posts. I deleted it now!

That does not say there will be no HD programming until March, it says one of the shows that will be in HD (south park) premiers (the NEW season) in march.
