Comcast Is The Greatest – Retraction Edition: 61 HD channels…eventually
June 21, 2010 by Derek
Remember when I raved about Comcast finally waking up and adding more HD channels to many underserved HD markets? Well, they did it. Sorta.
It seems that now (according to their recent press release anyway) they’re splitting the addition of the channels into two ‘phases’: one where they add 45 or so channels right now, and adding 16 more channels…in August. In the meantime, there’s two sections of HD, one in the 700′s, and one still left over from its original home in the 900′s. It’s a royal mess, to say the least, and leaving it this way another month+, even more of a mess.
Well, we’ll get our HD, which is a good thing. But i’m personally not crazy about the way they’re implementing it at all. It’s screwy and disorganized, but some new channels is better than none at all.
