How can I tell which HD channels are includedThe channel lineup tool available when viewing the different packages offered does not list the HD channels properly.
For example I want to find the lowest priced cable package that would include TNT HD. Currently I receive the HD locals plus ESPN/ESPN2/FSN/INHD and even those arent listed in any of the packages.
One option is "HDTV Channels **Channels vary by service level" but this is just a list of all possible HD channels in the area.
Thanks for your help |

719 - InHD 720 - InHD2 722 - Discovery HD 723 - ESPN HD 724 - ESPN2 HD 725 - HD-SE / NFL Network HD 726 - TNT HD 727 - Universal HD 728 - MTV HD |

There are three (3) levels of HD programming from Comcast:
Locals - Comes with just having an HD box, Some systems they are int he clear for tv's with tuners capable of receiving them.
Basic HD - comes with the lowest form of Digital Service, digital classic in just about every system. ESPN, EPSN2, INHD1, MHD, TNT, NatGeo, Universal, Discovery HT, etc.
Premium HD - HBO, Show, Cmax, Stars, etc. Subscribe to the channel, you get the HD version included.
You don't have to 'subscribe' to the channels as packages with comcast unlike other cable companies.. they are packaged above and require a HD box for about $5 extra a month on top of any other charges or included equipment in most systems. (excludes the locals with proper customer owned equipment)
In YOUR case, you want digital classic and an HD box.$9.95 for Digital classic and $5 equipment rental. (most likely the case in San Mateo) |
