»blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/b···ate.html

looks like you may not get it to the End of the year, but it not surprising since the Washington State area started about 2 months later than the Oregon area and has about 2 more zones than Oregon does, in fact i think Oregon only has 1 zone left, from the information that i read from their thread, and then comcast will focus more on California, so that the West coast be done by 2009, with comcast focusing on east coast in 2010!!

I was under the impression that we should be seeing them soon, but I just called Comcast and according to the CSR that I talked to (I know, not the most reliable source) we in certain areas of Seattle (I'm in West Seattle) may not see these new HD channels until November or December! She claimed the reason is because a while back, when lines were upgraded, Seattle area was first, and therefore now has older lines than the surrounding areas that will need upgrading before the HD channels can be added.

I really hope this is just another case of the Comcast support people providing the wrong information. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22395205 Fri, 15 May 2009 16:31:20 EDT Re: Comcast Seattle Adds 29 New HD Channels http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22386357 kinglou0 : All HD channels came on today, they all look great except QVCHD(i don't really care about QVC) which looked like they had something on the camera lens.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22386357 Wed, 13 May 2009 23:39:36 EDT Re: Comcast Seattle Adds 29 New HD Channels http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22362331 kinglou0 :

1. I work in the Field in this Market.

2. New HD Channels as of today 2/28/2009 are Only available on Mercer Island part of the 860MHZ overlay project started in Jan.

3. We are getting ready for Phase 1 of 2 ADS Conversion, going to happen starting in March-August by NODE no schedule is written (Phase 1 all channels 30-99 switch to ADS, hence DTA Rollout.)

4. Phase 2 of 2 is scheduled for 2010. (Phase 2 all channels 2-29 switch to ADS.)

5. In between Phase 1 and 2 we will start adding channels, what channels and when we will have them will not be released.

All other questions relating to New HD Channels need to go to the call center.

The Person that Started this Thread, either lives in Everett (Inside a FIOS Footprint) or in Mercer Island.
Comspastic is not entirely correct in his statements.

1. Cant agrue with that, but please get your facts right.

2. The 860 plant is available in spots across all of WA state, thus the additional channels are available in more places than just Mercer Island. I have them, and there were 2 more launched Monday - Nickelodeon HD (679) and Spike HD(659).

3. Nope, it is by Head-End

4. The channels should be available to all later this year.

Once we all get DTA's, the HD channels will be broadcasted to everybody because they will not have to broadcast the same channels 3x (SD, Analog and HD). Analog takes a lot of bandwidth...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22015278 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:32:00 EDT Re: Comcast Seattle Adds 29 New HD Channels http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22012463 anon : I live in Puyallup, closer to Good Sam hospital, so not fully on SouthHill, but I've had the new channels for about a month.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22012463 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:59:09 EDT Re: Comcast Seattle Adds 29 New HD Channels http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21997227 anon : with that kind of slow schedule better if one switches to fios if available.

3. We are getting ready for Phase 1 of 2 ADS Conversion, going to happen starting in March-August by NODE no schedule is written (Phase 1 all channels 30-99 switch to ADS, hence DTA Rollout.)

4. Phase 2 of 2 is scheduled for 2010. (Phase 2 all channels 2-29 switch to ADS.)

5. In between Phase 1 and 2 we will start adding channels, what channels and when we will have them will not be released.

All other questions relating to New HD Channels need to go to the call center.

Damn. I don't know if you have this problem in Seattle, but across the Sound, over here in Kitsap County, Comedy Central picture quality is very poor. Certain colors (mainly yellows) are overlaid with a series of striped vertical lines. (This problem affects a few other channels, too, but all of those have HD versions available, which do not have the problem). The affected colors occur often in "South Park", where the lines are very distracting.

I've given up hope that Comcast will actually fix this, as it has been this way for as long as I've had Comcast (a couple years). It's definitely not at my end, because (1) friends report it, too, (2) it doesn't show up with the same material on other channels (e.g., commercials that happen to have the affected colors).
