Re: [TV] ***Cogeco New HD Channels***

The only channel that seems to be missing in the Hamilton West area is E-HD 828.

I would also assume that not all these new channels are going to stay free and that most of them are probably on a free preview at the moment. There's no way to know as there is no info anywhere on the Cogeco site or Facebook page about these new channels.

It would be nice if Cogeco updated it's main site under the TV Banner and offer some type of NEW NEWS or NEW CHANNELS or something along these lines, so that customers have an idea of what's gong on.

Oh and for the umpteen millionth time when is Cogeco going to offer CNN HD which has been around right from the beginning of HD TV? I mean come on there must be some reason that it's not offered? Rogers and Bell have had it for years so please why can't we have CNN - HD?

Cogeco employees will know what Cities do not get the full

lineup. The Cogeco Web Site had a Search feature from a drop

down list you could select your City & it would show you the

new HD Channels that were launched in your area,of course

it is now gone.

Here are the HD Channels I do not get.

CTV Two HD
The Weather Network HD
DisneyXD HD
Family HD
ABC Spark HD
CN HD
Teletoon HD
Food HD
HGTV HD
History HD
W Network HD
EqHD
HiFi HD
Rad HD
Bold HD
OLN HD
Cp24 HD
Big Ten Network HD
NFL Network HD
WE HD
Discovery HD
Bravo HD
Space HD
E HD
Comedy East HD
CTV News HD
MuchMusic HD

Also no HD On Demand.

Hamilton1, these Channels...

872-AXNM
873-SONY
874-MGMH
875-WB-HD

Are on a Freeview till March 31.

I am really not all that excited about these new Channels as I

have TMN. Its all older movies I have already seen.

I have a feeling that only when people like myself get fed up

with the HD offerings & go over to Bell Fibe,they may just

wake up.

Cogeco How May We Help You?

1.)Well for starters I would really appreciate getting all the

above HD Channels.

2.)Could you please answer the following question...

Is it your Intention to give all Cities the same HD Channels?

3.)When watching a show I would like it if the picture did not

freeze making me miss dialog.This has happened on TMN &

West Coast HD feeds.

4.)Could you send the Correct DD5.1 sound by following DD

5.1 standards. KIRO 718 HD is still only 2 Channel stereo.

At least if you can not get the proper DD 5.1 then send a

signal that will let our Receivers default to Dolby Pro Logic II

which is what OasisHD is doing now on a lot of their

programming. at least then we would get better sound having

dialog come from the Centre Speaker.

Correct (that they won't stay free).

Cogeco has a new package listed on the website called "Hollywood Suite" that will be $6.06 a month for all 4 channels.

Not a bad price, assuming it's not a limited time promo price.
