That makes 30 broadcasted HD channels. I'm not counting the HD PPV channels or Comcast's funky marketing method of including ON Demand HD content, of which there is a LOT. While I agree with most that ON Demand HD content can't be counted towards the number of channels, it does count for something. There is quite a bit of HD content available and I do watch quite a few movies in HD from Starz, Encore, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax as well as some of the free HD movies.
Personally I think they're doing well; they added 7 this week for a total of 13 new HD channels this year in my area.
How do you feel about how Comcast in your area is keeping up with the dishies? Admittedly Dish and DTV both still have an overall higher channel count, but do you think Comcast is doing a decent job keeping up considering the lack of upgrading to newer technology (Mpeg 4, Switched Digital Video)?

Whoops forgot NFL HD also in my area.
