1 edit | [HD] Comcast of Union: ~40 HD channels coming Nov 5th
Our site is now up.
»www.comcastworldofmore.com/union/
It's actually 38 HD channels being added since we already got HD PPV, NBA HD and NFLRD HD, and the HD On Demand link doesn't count. That would put us at 80 HD channels (42 currently). We would still have a decent amount of room though, so it looks like the second wave could be bigger.
Note: The limited basic HD channels (current ones that are moving and new ones being added) are going to be added on or about 10/28.

Note: Please keep this topic related ONLY to union and no other systems please.

Does this mean that Union customers will stop complaining that they are "left out" from the rest of Comcast's market?  |

Most of the channels listed are sports channels, no interest to me.
QVC? Oh, yeah, can't wait for that.
What about F/X? Why is that one not listed when much of NJ has it already? |

Well, I just answered my own question. Clicking on the print new channel lineup brings up a list of all the new channels, including F/X, MGM, Comedy Central, and many others. It also says they will be added on or about Oct. 28, so maybe I won't have to wait until Nov. 5.
At least I can watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia in HD. |

while i am happy with the first wave of channels, i am wondering why we did not get the same channels as everyone else. You would think with us all being converted digitally, that it would be easier to just give everyone the same channels at once. |

read carefully, only the limited basic HD channels that are being moved/added (eg, cbs, nbc, fox, qvc, wgn, etc) are being added on the 28th.

1 edit | Wow for years you guys were left out. Boy how the tables have turned. Now you guys are on the forefront of innovation while Central PA swapped places and lies stagnant.
Congrats, you'll finally have service worth paying for! The people stuck with CC in apartments or places where there's no sat signal will finally be blessed with a provider that actually cares to put a little oomph in their product.
Regarding premiums, you don't really need them yet at this point. Most of that content is available in HD on Demand under the Premium Channels menu. So that can wait. Be happy that your getting up to 80 HD's right now. I believe we have 41 or 42 in my market and there's no digital transition here despite being a Motorola market. |

i agree cypher. I am in an apartment where my only option is CC. They just laid the fios lines the other day and apparently we may be able to get fios Q1 next year. But to be honest, as long as the channels keep coming, along with a new guide and tru2way, it may be worth the wait. |

Here's an important question.
According to the new channel lineup, the networks (CBS, NBC, etc.) are moving to the 800's. Right now they are in the 200's. Does this mean I will have to reset all of my season passes on my DVR? |

| I think in the short term the locals are going to be mapped in the 200s and 800s.
FWIW here are some of the channels we *aren't* getting in the first round of adds:
816 HLN HD
834 Style HD
836 WE tv HD
841 truTV HD
865 TV One HD
867 G4 HD
885 Fuse HD
890 TCM HD
893 IFC HD
Of those 9 channels listed, I only really would want IFC and TCM. Don't really care about those other ones.
I wonder what our next batch will look like.
