Cable one New HD popping up in certain areas :)

Looks like Cable One is slowly rolling out:

FXX HD
Fox Sports 2 HD
FX Movie Channel HD
AMC HD
WE HD (showed up in Dyersburg TN this week)
Nickelodeon HD
H2 HD
Golf Channel HD
Comedy Central HD
HDPPV

but here is the catch it is only for areas that have been upgraded recently with new line hardware and or are going all digital. Dyersburg TN is all digital and it looks like Cable one did a rebuild to 860MHz there as well.

does anyone know when Cable One will begin adding more HD?

The newest channel that they have in HD is WEtv and that is only available in Dyersburg TN.

I am still surprised why Cable One's systems that were upgraded in the early 2000s don't have:
FXX HD
FS2 HD
FX Movies HD
Nick HD
Comedy Central HD
H2 HD
Golf Channel HD
HDPPV
AMC HD
WE HD
Disney XD HD (was shown on the Globe AZ new channel lineup)

I know that Show Low AZ, Ardmore OK, Altus OK, Roswell NM, and a few other systems were rebuilt with 860MHz gainmaker gear from Scientific Atlanta in the early 2000s and the current upgrades Cable One are doing are drop in upgrades to older amplifiers along with some new Motorola and Cisco amps being installed but these systems will also be 860MHz. There are a few 750MHz too such as Boise ID and Biloxi MS.

But my point is with all of the open bandwidth on the 860MHz systems that were upgraded along time ago you would think Cable one would use the bandwidth to add more HD

I gave up on Cable One for tv. I had enough of their crummy TV so I got Direct TV. I don't know anyone that has Cable One for tv in my area. I'll keep C1 for internet instead.

hmm seems Cable One has been busy with HD changes as they have been adding new HD channels in many areas.

They have been adding:
WE HD
IFC HD
Sundance Channel HD
AMC HD
Golf Channel HD
Nickelodeon HD
Comedy Central HD
HDPPV
FXX HD
FS2 HD
FXM HD
H2 HD

but the areas that are getting them may only get a few as it seems not one area has all 12 of the new HD channels yet.

Also looks like Cable One readded the ESPN Gameplan/ESPN Full Court package in many areas.

another set of additions:
Investigation Discovery SD/HD
VH1 HD
Spike HD
MTV HD

these have launched in Emporia KS which I am guessing finished their rebuild/all digital upgrades?

I miss Comedy Central, especially South Park as well as Key and Peele.

However, I am really loving BBC America. I look forward to HD channels of Fox Business News and BBC America.

Cable One CSR called me to ask why I had not installed my special box to get TV on my stand-alone TV. Lazy, I guess. I've had it for 60+ days but saw no need to install it. But the analog shut off is in about 2 weeks.

Cable One internet sent me a banner message on my internet that the analog channels were going away soon. A big warning to get my digital house in order.

I keep thinking that the new HD channels should be available. But they are not. How long should this take?

The new HD channels popped up on my Tivo guide in Idaho Falls, but the actual channels don't work yet.

I don't see any new channels.

Seems like we have had enough time... more than one month since the analog was cut.

It takes at least 2-3 months after the transition to get new channels they have to make the SD and HD channels available on the Digital Adapters in MPEG4 in addition to MPEG2 for the Motorola boxes and Tivos.

I just noticed that the Weather Channel is now in HD.

Did you notice anything new in your area?
