Interesting that they took away all those analogs and aren't using them (still showing the DTA message). you're right that there's plenty - maybe for all the HD movie packages.

The pattern out west has been cut 20 analogs and replace with a DTA message that sticks around for about two weeks. Four weeks after the first analog cut, cut another 20 analogs and replace with a DTA message. New HD channels are added about two weeks after the second analog cut (six weeks after the first cut).

Sounds like you guys are getting close to seeing new HD. We have about 100 HD channels here in the Seattle area. It's pretty nice.
we had 2 waves of analog cuts back in August and September with 40 new HD in early November. We still have some of those DTA messages 2 months later, plus open space. I hope we're nearing new HD, but other parts of this area were ahead of us and haven't seen the second wave of new HDs yet.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Comcast-of-Union-40-HD-channels-coming-Nov-5th-23396525 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:45:11 EDT Re: [HD] Comcast of Union: ~40 HD channels coming Nov 5th http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Comcast-of-Union-40-HD-channels-coming-Nov-5th-23395662 said by dyhrdmet:

It does not seem like there is anything on ch 38, 39, or 40. No signal on all three. 72, 73, 96, 98, 99 also is giving no signal, and no DTA message.

41, 42, 57 58, 59, 60, 61, 69, 70, 71 have the DTA message still.

43-50, 55, 56, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, are all 3:1 HD muxes.

51, 52, 53, 54, 68, 75 are 2:1 HD muxes

74 has multiple channels on it, all SD.

The new 3:1 HD muxes seem to account for all the new HD channels that were added, and it looks like there were some other shifting as well. We still have enough space for quite a few HD channels as well as those international channels that come with the second round of adds (or at least I think they do).

For me however, if Fios were available, and if Comcast had lots of HD (it currently doesn't in my area), I would still switch to Fios.

Why? To shove it in Comcast's face on how user interface matters. It's the face of the product, it's what customers interact with day in and day out... it's what leaves a long lasting impression regarding the brand.

I'm not the only one who thinks this way... Here's two sites out of many:
»www.businessinsider.com/time-for···e-2009-3

»www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/08/ca···-better/

If Verizon is smoothly sailing towards an 'app store' environment for the TV, then I will choose Verizon. Twitter or Facebook from the TV? Great. Full color channel logo's to help me in a sea of 100's of channels? Great! Movie cover art to help titles stand out, awesome! Multi-Room DVR so I can finish watching a recording in the bedroom, even cooler.

So let's weigh the scales, and just for comparison's sake, both providers had the exact same lineup SD & HD, and DOCSIS 3.0 is rolled out so Internet packages are similar. Verizon still wins out in my book because of their updated user interface with widgets, home networking support and commitment to keep improving their platform.

If Comcast were to lay anyone off, it should be the people who design their archaic 1990's user interface. I think my 3.58 MHz Super Nintendo in 1992 had better graphics.

Heck look at these tiny little HD media devices that literally run circles around the Comcast experience:

Hopefully you're not a Knicks/Rangers/Devils/Islanders fan, otherwise you're SOL on getting them in HD.

Because all of the seniors in this area go complain to their elected officials everytime they remove a channel because "i can't beleive you are making me get a digital box now and i gotta pay more to receive that channel."

So comcast says, ok you want analog still now you don't get any new channels. So we are stuck in the stone ages because the older people don't want digital boxes. Go figure.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Comcast-of-Union-40-HD-channels-coming-Nov-5th-23236380 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:05:12 EDT Re: [HD] Comcast of Union: ~40 HD channels coming Nov 5th http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Comcast-of-Union-40-HD-channels-coming-Nov-5th-23236363 said by sansri88:

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.
You don't care for G4 in HD? I am somewhat surprised, I thought you were a computer geek ;)
