|  Who gets Universal HD?
I'm curious to know which of you get Universal HD in your Comcast market? I know various markets have been adding this channel lately, especially as INHD2 gets deleted. I'm finally getting a Comcast HD DVR on the 29th and, as we recently lost INHD2 here, I'm hoping UHD may be on the way. (Okay, I admit it -- I'm dying to see Battlestar Galactica in HD.) I've asked Comcast about this directly, but they won't tell me what their lineup plans are.
Interestingly, my TiVo's guide data thinks that I should be getting UHD already, but according to my cable box's guide, we don't receive it. The listing set that shows UHD is referred to as our local "digital rebuild" network. Doesn't Comcast usually use the "rebuild" network as a staging area?
For the record, I'm in the Naples/Ft. Myers area of FL -- anybody with some inside info happen to know anything about impending lineup changes here?

Monroe Township, NJ | We have it here.
I don't watch Battlestar Galactica, so unfortunately the channel is wasted on us. |

We have it in MA, but unfortunately the BSG showings are from previous seasons, not the current eps in HD.

Sounds like it is making the rounds...hopefully they add it to our market soon. I've heard rumblings about a few new HD channels coming in mid-January here; some say UHD will be one of them.
Yeah, I heard that the BSG HD episodes are from last season. But they're also running Firefly in HD now...that must be sweet.

Got it here in Marysville, WA. Looks pretty promising since Universal owns a lot of content.
Also the new MTV HD looks promising as well. Already recorded the Foo Fighters live performance. |

No UHD in Chicago's western suburbs, and I don't think it's carried on any Comcast system in Chicagoland (though if I'm wrong, I'm sure CableTool  will correct me).

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something. |
