HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions in W.O.W. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21117186 en Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:43:56 EDT Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:43:56 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21224382 The Joker : So this is all we get till next year?

No more news on more channels?

These channels barely use the HD, except for Flaux News.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21224382 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:34:47 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21212558 JackSparrow : thats odd. my bro has comcast hd in philly, and from what he says, his CNN HD is normal and full screen.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21212558 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 20:00:09 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207400 Jwobot :

I did fill out for FX, but definitely not for fox. They need CNN pronto. at least it has some real HD content
You consider black bars with CNN printed on it real HD content? I now have comcast which means I get CNN HD and this is the only thing they broadcast. At least FOX news HD fills the whole screen with infomation instead of black bars with their station name like CNN does.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207400 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:01:33 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21181945 anon : That channel shows certain cavs games in HD.

I dont know how it is in other viewing areas, but in Cleveland, FoxSports HD is USELESS! I cant remember the last time I saw ANYTHING being televised in HD on this channel. Or even a non HD program. Its just the constant HD Promo screen. And when the Guide lists a Reds game, its blacked out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21181239 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 09:56:56 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21162917 JackSparrow : well it seems like one of the easy ones to get :-P]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21162917 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:05:17 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21162799 imrf :

I disagree.

One Tech i spoke with said that in Nov they will be adding about 10 more, while another says Feb on next year they will add more.

Two that I would like to see added at least in Detroit is the BTN and CBC. Some of Wow's other area already gets the BTN in HD and I can get CBC over the air!!

I filled out the form but I think that is useless. I'm sure that everyone that filled it out wanted Fox News and FX (seems like WOW just signed a deal with Fox and got their stations)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21162423 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:43:53 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21126501 anon : I spoke to a WOW rep yesterday who mentioned that the only channels they will be keeping in the HD Pak are those that are only available on Digital Basic. Looks like Nat Geo is in Digital Basic in Chicago, so that's why we can only get it in the HD Pak, but it's available on Digital Value in other locations, so it's part of the regular HD service there.

I guess the reasoning makes sense, but the logic behind offering channels in different tiers in different locations is a little backwards.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21126501 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:01:12 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21126285 DJ Matt : How does WOW put Nat Geo in the regular tier except for in Chicago?

Thats a rip off. DirecTV does this too with about 5 channels, but its $4.99 a month. HD Pak isn't really worth it anymore. If you can do without HDNet, then everyone should be fine with the regular HD tier for the most part.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21123253 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 01:56:36 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21123196 formattedc : Watch, all the new HD channels from here on will be put in the HD Pak this fall, lol.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21123196 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 01:31:20 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21121927 pparks1 : Yep, I dropped the HDPak myself tonight.

It is a little strange with the lack of channel uniformity amongst locations. But anyways I think the HD Pak is still overpriced at $7.99, personally I think they should give them to you for free with the Digital Basic package. I really would like to see ESPN 2, USA, TBS and Comedy Central in Columbus...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21118212 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:29:06 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21117312 imrf :

Still a rip off. :p Should be $5 at most. And they shouldn't have screwed with the tiers. Just do an upgrade like real companies do.

I was going to say, they moved more channels out of the HD Pak again? But they are lowering the price of it so thats not bad now.
As they should. Many of the channels that were in the HD Pak to begin with were simply HD simulcasts of their analog counterparts. Finally WOW realized the BS they were trying to pull in making people pay twice for the same channel was not good business.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21117254 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:06:32 EDT Re: HD Channels Moved From HD Pak + New Additions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21117217 DJ Matt : I was going to say, they moved more channels out of the HD Pak again?
