WOW!!! Now that's a great channel line up. I hope this happens in Philly soon but still no Boomerang channel on this list.

They haven't started yet...I guess the process starts in June.
I got a letter a couple of weeks ago saying June, and they will be notifying us soon on further details.

No, I mean the DTA. Not the transition itself, but the box that allows it to happen.

Sorry, but its the same answer...The DTA's will start to be given in June...Unless I just haven't been contacted yet.
So I guess it will be a couple of months B4 the actual transition and we get those HD's. Which is cool, I'm just glad it's coming.
Detroit switched to digital a few months back and I believe they already get, or will by May 27 get the new HD's.
(In case you don't know, Roseville is a 'burb of Detroit)

I think the trade off is docsis 3.0 will not happen till early 2010
But if I had a choice, I'd pick TV HD's over Internet....cause I know D3 will come eventually.

Wow !!! Looked at the Detroit list 58 new hd channels and 5 reserved for future use,thats more hd than we have on our whole system.Hurry hurry Comcast please and get all of us up to these standards. What a very good looking lineup,something for everyone. Did they add these all at once or over two or three additions ???If they were all at once you would have to pull an all nighter to get a peak at how clear they all are and if they are all working.

Some areas (mostly Downriver) didn't have any HD added to them. Where you have channels added...ours says "RESERVED FOR FUTURE HD". Wonder why they did parts of Detroit area, but not all??

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

Detroit City was converted, Roseville, Madison Heights, and Hazel Park are next on the list. I have a tentative schedule; but I can tell you just about everything will be converted by March 2010 around Metro Detroit (except some of the old 500MHz systems)

We have gotten DTAs in the suburbs of Philadelphia back in January-ish, and still no mention of a totally new revamped lineup like this, and they have not gotten aggresive with analog channel repos yet.

I hope once the DTV transition is behind us(Comcast is having to add some must-carry channels for that) they will start giving dates when they will cut the analog channels.

What's nice is all the HD channels in one block. Not like my a-hole system.

Rendrenner,

What have you heard about Muskegon going digital? I am in Muskegon and haven't heard anything. We are way behind most areas with only 14 HD channels. Any news/updates would be appreciated.

Rendrenner,

Great. Thanks for the information! Do you know, if that will include expanding our HD lineup? (The lineup sheet on the Comcast/Michigan site doesn't list any changes.)

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

Havent heard of any additions to the HD lineup. Not sure how many are there now. Weve got 57 in Grand Rapids. Probably going to take about a month after the changeover to make any major additions. Thats just a guess tho..

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

I hope the change to digital paves the way to more HD. Muskegon has only 14 HD channels including premiums, so we are way behind the curve.

Thanks again for the information. Let me know, if you get any further updates.

Good to see Michigan finally Orlando,Olathe/MO got to be next. 266 is MLB HD,184 is Lifetime HD here Olathe/MO on Comcast.

How can you still have Travel and Lesiure On Demand Channel? I hope my Comcast adds it back and fixes Comcast Central because 925 Local Acess and Comcast Central Channels aren't working.

Looks like the update is also hitting Chesterfield's system.

Cool, but still happier with U-verse.

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

Well they moved a lot of the channels here last night . Big spaces where the "coming soon" HD's will be. Wonder how long before we get them?

They sent me a new channel line-up list in the mail, along with flier stating they will be adding the HD's soon, but there is no timeline mentioned....
just a kind of generic statement that says "Under construction", coming soon -- up to 100 HD channels.

The HD before the D3 for sure.

After an area is converted, you should see more channels 6-8 weeks afterwards,

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

Just got a letter saying how to get the DTA's.
Some channels will be moved to digital by June 29, and the switch should be totally done by July 14.

I am hoping to find out what the ETA on our upgrade is. I am hoping before August or so...need to call my Comcast contacts.

Yep mine moved too. No Hallmark Movie Channel on 177 or ION HD on 237 as stated on the channel list. I also have been promised the missing HDs will appear in the BIG gaps, but who knows when?!

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

Cool, but it's time for Comcast to get a new guide that supports friendlier channel names and/or logo's. I never would of guessed what TRAD was! NICHD, shouldn't it be NICKD? ESWHD, shouldn't it be ESNHD? It's starting to get confusing with lackluster identification. I know it's the current software limitation, but I hope they eventually fix that.

Re: [HD] Roseville,MI going digital starting in June

yeah it is a little confusing..lol
thats why I listed a couple names after the channels.

Edit...I actually screwed up travel
I edited the other post too... it should have been TRAVD.
I wouldn't have known ESWHD either.

I wish they had this in Sterling Heights. Would love to get Travel Channel HD for Monday's episode of Anthony Bourdain's show and see him and Detroit in HD.
