New HD channels?

[Meathead]

Okay, it's been a whole three months since Comcast last added some HD channels in my area... since then they've moved two channels from analog to digital only presumably to free up even more bandwidth.


Come on Comcast! Give us some more HD, keep it coming. Feed your HD-crack babies!

It's been five months for me, but I'm getting two more in July.

Which two?

 

[Marcus Carr]

Which two?

A&E and HGTV.

 

[Meathead]

Aha... we got A&EHD in March. HGTV-HD would be an addition for us (though I haven't heard about anything new upcoming in our market).

We're getting My Network TV in HD on 8/29.

Here in NJ we just got WWOR HD (MY Network TV) on 7/18. The actual network programming from MY Network TV sucks, but at least I now get to watch any of the Yankees games that turn up on the channel in HD. Still no National Geographic HD, A&E HD, HGTV HD or Food Network HD though. My lineup looks like this:

200- Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia HD
201- HD Special Events (SNY HD, MSG HD, FSNY HD)
202- ESPN HD
203- ESPN 2 HD
204-TNT HD
205- Discovery HD Theater
206-MOJO/HD Sports Overflow
207- Versus/Golf HD
208- Universal HD
209- MHD
210- HD Sports Overflow
212- YES HD
214- PPV Events in HD
215,300- HBO HD
219,319- Cinemax HD
223-339- Showtime HD
227,369- Starz HD
231- WABC HD (ABC)
232- WNBC HD (NBC)
233- WCBS HD (CBS)
234- WNYW HD (FOX)
235- WPIX HD (CW)
236- WWOR HD (MYNTV)
240- WNET HD (PBS)

 

[Meathead]

Yea... we've had the local My Network affiliate in HD since our last channel addition in March.

 

[Marcus Carr]

Ours doesn't even show anything in HD yet. Everything is stretched. Hopefully they will by the time it's added. They just went from 480i to 720p a few months ago.

 

[Marcus Carr]

We're getting NFL HD this month. Must have the sports pack to receive it.

 

[Marcus Carr]

NFL HD added tonight in Baltimore. Doesn't say anything about needing to subscribe when I turn to it. But it only has the next HD game listed and is now showing Off Air. I might have to wait until Saturday night to find out if I can see it without the sports pack. The SD channel does say subscription required.

Got a message yesterday letting me know about the new NFLHD channel on 169. I'm getting it, but had to subscribe to the sports package to get it. However I did call and got them to lower the price too 1.99 a month for six months.

 

[Marcus Carr]

Sports pack required in Baltimore, $2 a month.

 

[Marcus Carr]

I'm seeing the HD channel right now without the sports pack.

 

[Meathead]

HGTV-HD and FOOD-HD just added. Noticed them in the guide yesterday.

 

[HDFreud]

Meathead (respectfully) whare are you? In in Noorthern NJ and haven't seen it yet.

I am in Philly and I don't think we've gotten a new HD channel in about 6 months. We don't have NFL NGHD FOODTV HGTVHD HISTORYHD or A&EHD and I called and asked and no one knows sh*t. As usual.

I feel your pain! I get the same BS here in Seattle! Nothing new since March! Then we finally got Universal HD along with MHD. I have been told they are implementing DVS here by high end engineer. He said they should start adding some more HD by the 4th quarter or early 1st quarter of next year!!!! AAAAGGGHHH!!!!

It is safe to ay that EVERY market will be getting TBS HD before the playoffs start, since Comcast already announced an HD palyoffs.
