@sbcglobal.net | I guess that the WOW cable with the SPEED HD Channel in it stops at the Michigan/Indiana border. | |

| Yeah, I dont understand why WOW just adds certain channel in some markets but not in all. You would think they would all have the same channels. Wow still isnt even close to HD offerings from other providers but my only other option is UVerse and from what I have gathered its much worse. | |

Arlington Heights, IL | Speed HD in other markets, but not Chicago?
Also, Versus (in HD, or at least SD) would be nice now that the IRL races are on it. | |

@sbcglobal.net | Re: Channel Updates(Official WOW announcement) What about Michigan, Motor City, 2 NASCAR races that draw 160,000 fans that has 30,000 at the SPEED broadcast from the track and we can't even get it on HD here. | |

| I asked the very question about why some areas get some channels and others don't and, can't I believe their answer.
Thank you for contacting WOW! via email.
There are literally hundreds of channels we do not carry. There is no specific reason why we do not carry them. If we had more request for Speed HD, we would consider adding it.

| I went from standard digital to a HD Receiver / DVR a couple of months ago and really love it. However, I wish WOW would get up to speed as far as their HD lineup. I noticed that AT&T Uverse has 100+ HD channels now. I'm not 100% how many HD channels WOW has right now but it appears to be UNDER 50! Yikes.
I'm not complaining because I am getting HSI (5400 down and 1000 up), Phone and HD TV/DVR for a A LOT less than I'd expect for 18 months!!! I tried Uverse at the beginning and the picture looked great and the features look great on paper and loved being able to program my DVR via their homepage. However, it went down once a week for HOURS. The best part of Uverse was the free installation and the fact they rewired my whole house with Cat5e.

@rochester.edu | I emailed somebody higher up at WOW! and said the reason why Cleveland isn't getting all the HD channels is because they are making some kind of adjustments right now but we will get them later this year. | |

North Royalton, OH | I was told this some time ago by a WOW Service Tech, that the Cleveland system still has a lot of the old infrastructure in place from when it was Ameritech Cable. | |

@sbcglobal.net
| So let's see if I have this right.
The WOW spokesperson sez that you have to request a channel in order to reveive it but there's is no specific reason why we add a channel. Evansville, Indiana gets Speed HD channel because more of the people there wanted Speed HD than the people in Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit. Evansville? How many people are there in Evansville.
I just don't get it. | |

| It is like Big Ten HD Ohio networks have it but MI Does not. Looks like got a deal with NBC/Universal with the channels they launched (no Weather Channel HD though)
Hopefully they get a deal with Viacom (Comedy Central, Spike)the some more Turner Networks (TBS, and CNN) | |

2 edits | Re: Channel Updates(Official WOW announcement) why does comcast have many channels in digital starer / basic there. That in comcast Chicago area are in the higher cost digital classic and / or sports pack.
Wow in Chicago area also has many of them in analog cable and not in higher cost digital tears. So if they where to get there HD count up and pick up VS / VS HD and the CSN HD + over flow feed.
Then they can compete in the market like they did and where a good buy vs comcarp that was moving good stuff like sci-fi and others to there high cost digital tear over the last 4 years. Also in the city of Chicago you get more HD and less in analog but if you live in Chicago land pay the same get less with comcarp cable.
Now will nice if WOW where to do a big analog crush and keep the channels in clear qam / a basic level. With limited OTA only + 3-4 others in a limited basic / lifeline level / analog.
Right now they are dead last in HD in Chicago area.
at least they can do true free HD aka first HD box free not like the comcast and rcn that say free HD but make you pay $6 - $8+ /m for the box vs $3 - $5 for a SD one. | |

| Re: Channel Updates(Official WOW announcement) Cleveland will probably just catch up with the other cities that got those channels last month because we did not get them then. We will probably get Speed HD and TBS HD, etc soon (maybe in August or September) - Cleveland I think is just behind a bit because of the older system that WOW! has in Cleveland. | |
