Wait, so they have a direct financing offer like this and then you own it free and clear? I know you can buy it on Amazon and other places free and clear but this would be a good deal if you don't have the upfront cash. Cool.
Anymore HD coming soon

I love to have more HD Channels.. any others going to HD?
Are there still SD channels out there? I don't know, cause I don't watch them anymore. But there are a few channels I miss cause they aren't in HD...
We went from 500 channels and nothing on to 100 HD channels and nothing on. But "nothing" looks so good in HD.
There was a day when we first got digital cable where we could surf all those 500 channels and see what is on. Now I only surf the HD channels with few exceptions.
Surely they must realize once you go HD, you don't go back to SD.
Hat tip to someone on dslreports for this one - those 6 .tv channels are supposed to start rolling out this week - at least VH08 (Philly) will get them this week. Not sure what the roll-out plan is beyond that (it's possible that all markets get them on the same day, or just a couple days apart).
I know that they're not everyone's cup of tea, but remember that one man's trash is another man's treasure.

My cup of tea would be AMC HD now, Investigation Discovery going HD and us getting it, Crime and Investigation HD (coming soon....) and all the remaining premiums (Showtimes, Starz, Encores) in HD as soon as they go online. Oh, and Starz West which is oddly missing in HD but exists.
No sugar, no cream, just the channels please!

Nice to see the national HD quantity and quality leader addding another six HD channels; 106 national HD channels and counting.
116 in my lineup if I count the 10 HD locals...but those don't count. Here is the best place (my opinion) for accurate national HD counts by all the major providers (FiOS TV will be upped to 106 once everyone is receiving them):

Apparently they hit a glitch. We didn't get any in PA - I think we got pushed back a week, from what I heard.
for this we waited months?
They showed up yesterday in the NYC suburbs, but the channels are incredibly cheap looking with poor production values and LOTS of long commercial breaks. They, as in most commercial TV, are the real reason these channels exist. And they've borrowed a trick from syndicated daytime shows, preceding the endless commercial breaks with bumpers that say "Closed Captioning provided by..." Like the only reason for the commercials is to pay for Closed Captioning. Only there ISN'T any Closed Captioning! I left captioning on for hours at a time and never saw any evidence of it on any of these channels. What a waste of bandwidth!
