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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22505451 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 00:55:06 EDT Re: Channel Updates(Official WOW announcement) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22505184 Jwobot : WOW better get into gear because Comcast is looking to add a bunch soon from the flyer I got.

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.

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.

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.
