Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available in Comcast Cable TV

Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available in Comcast Cable TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21275076 en Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:11:21 EDT Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:11:21 EDT Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21287119 crischen : 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.

Thanks for typing what I was thinking...Waive a magic wand and wooosh! They're here!

"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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21284674 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:55:41 EDT Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21281896 cypherstream : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21281896 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 07:23:17 EDT Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21281170 markofmayhem : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21281170 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 23:56:34 EDT Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21276993 gebe : »www.tvpredictions.com/comcast101508.htm

I saw this, just wanted to share]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21276993 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:39:55 EDT Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275793 cypherstream : 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?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275793 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:24:39 EDT Re: Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275112 sansri88 : I give props to Comcast for this one.

Although they might stretch it by counting some of those short 2 minute extras as choices, they do have a lot more HD on Demand content.

I also noticed Mojo has some of their programs showing up now...

But I want my linear channels like everyone else first!

Comcast of NJ II sucks. Period.
25 HD channels compared to the average 32 or so.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275112 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:26:14 EDT Comcast Announces More Than 1,000 HD Choices Available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275076 Travelfan1 : »www.comcast.com/About/PressRelea···PRID=811

I just launched On Demand and there are quite a few more choices indeed. Sadly, as far as linear channel goes here in Union NJ system, Comcast is still beat by more than 3-1 when compared to the other providers... :huh:

You want more HD? Then e-mail Rick Germano - Go to Contact Us in the Comcast web site. And don't complain when analogs are removed! Digital isn't the future, it's the present!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275076 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:18:25 EDT
