| But what's the point in the MTV, VH1, and Nickalodeon HD-VOD content that is pillarboxed and doesn't look any sharper than SD, just in 4:3 aspect ratio? Those VOD files shouldn't take up too much Hard Drive space on the server, don't ya think? How many VH-1 "HD" streams can one fit in a QAM? 8? 6? | |

| Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available Over here in Pittsburgh, we were chosen as a VoD test bed a few years back. It's been a little over 2 years we've had "Same day as DVD" release VoD. The choices are increasing, but we've had alot the whole time. I guess that's why the DirecTV commercials about Comcast having more HD made sense to me? Dunno, live events are.... live. Linear channel HD has it's place and TIME. | |

| I did notice a few more titles on there. However some directories are awkward. For example go into the Music category and there's a bunch of sub categories (Mojo, Music Choice, Havoc, etc...) They are all populated with video's, but there's an All Titles category that has absolutely nothing in it.
Also there's duplicate paths to CBS and NBC HD, and also duplicate paths to Desp. Housewives on ABC, and a few other items. Someone needs to go in there and clean that menu. Perhaps make it more intuitive like the PS3 / Moxi / Vista media center crossbar style interface. Oh and a search would be nice, but who knows how good that would work if "All Titles" is empty in the music category. | |

2 edits | "Comcast COO and President Steve Burke last February told an investors group that a "typical" local Comcast system will carry between 50 and 60 full-time HDTV channels by year's end.
Asked yesterday if the company will still meet that goal, a spokeswoman yesterday said: "I know we’re at 30-40 now, and haven’t heard any different on this (50-60 channels by year's end)." yeah right. I'm sure they're just going to magically find room for 20-30 new channels on most systems in the next 2 months. | |

| in the Anderson, IN comcast market, we have exactly ZERO on-demand HD offerings.
I suspect this is a common thing in the rest of the former Insight markets they took over in February.
Shoot, we still don't have broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) on-demand yet here yet the ads are in the channel guide all the time for shows and when I click it, I get a big fat error.
