| I agree. Total crap being fed by their marketing department.
Hey Comcast a channel is something that has a numeric assignment. Not an episode or airing!
Per the Wiki - A specific radio frequency, pair or band of frequencies, usually named with a letter, number, or codeword.

| I love the competition Thanks to DirecTV, they finally have other operators shaking in their boots.
Because DirecTV is the #1 market leader for HDTV they have set the standard that all other companies have to live up to.
This is great for the entire video industry as it's a small incentive push for everyone to try to match or beat each other. Not only that but content providers will feel more obligated to produce more native HD material.
The trees in my area and horrible vantage point currently prevent me from having DirecTV, so I'm forced with substandard HD service known as Comcast. Eventually they will catch up though, they have to if they know what's good for them. | |

They are in big cities and apartment complexes. A lot of times those folks can't get dish based programming because of thier view of the sky. So comcast can rest on its laurels.
They also have a huge foot print , the people in this country are to lazy to make a difference in anything , they just take it and go with it. I can't wait for a recession to hit , teach people what life is really like again and humble all these companies who feel it's ok to rape customers for the good of the few who invest.
Not to mention they have a hold on people who don't like change, they are perfectly happy paying 3 x the cost for the same thing as long as its the same.

I wonder if they are trying to match what Dish network is charging. Their HD package was $20 a month a couple months ago. | |

| i hope they do pad ... if only out of spite towards a that one lawsuit-happy customer just itching to file over this 'promise'. 85 is a LOT of channels, and I think most subscribers are impressed and happy with their product(s).
I hope they do pad the lineup just to hit the 100+ mark, and when the networks decide to go full scale HD we all know DTV will be ready. My TW Cable's HD lineup is still highly pathetic compared to the 85 channels from DTV, though since I have a good rate on TW's services (RR-Turbo, Phone, Video with HBO and Starz for under $125/mo) I'm kinda stuck here.

kudos:1 | What's an HD channel ? Given how loosely providers have defined what constitutes an HD channel, you can probably expect the latter. Nowadays, if Lifetime Movie Network wants an HD channel, all they have to do is create a copy of their current broadcast, re-label it "Lifetime Movie Network HD" and it's done. They can show 4:3 programming stretched to 16:9 or show 4:3 programming with black bars on the side, but it's still called "HD". There are no rules or definitions, so they can do whatever they want. Consequently, D* or E* can add this channel and change their marketing info to claim another HD channel added to their lineup. | |

On TNT-HD, they ran the Lord of the Rings trilogy and having watched it on DVD too many times, in 2.35:1 ratio, it's really odd seeing it stretched and zoomed to fill the screen. Most times we start to watch a movie on a channel like this, at the first commercial I always say "let's put in the DVD". | |

Schaumburg, IL | Of all the recent HD additions (I have Comcast cable), History HD is the biggest disappointment. Given how many programs are letterboxed, I assumed many would be in HD. In fact, my program guide lists many as HD. Despite that, they seem to be inconsistent with the same program from week to week. For the past 2 weeks, 'The Universe' was in HD. Last night, it was Stretch-O-Vision SD, including the letterboxing!!! I ended up watching the SD version as I can ZOOM it on my TV as I cannot alter HD aspect ratios on my TV.
Even if it's not available in true HD, you'd think they could at least ZOOM up letterboxed shows. | |

kudos:2 | Of course a show can only be displayed in HD if the original source of the show was recorded in HD. Otherwise some kind of comprimise has to be made.
A lot of source content is still 4:3. I'd say about 80% of the time the stations I watch get it right - with bars on the side or some kind of intelligent "zoom" which only has smaller bars on the side but may cut a little off the bottom/top. Sometimes they skew the aspect ratio and stretch it all yucky. Fortunatly my TV has some good zoom modes to correct this, but even back to back shows can sometimes be different (ie A&E "The First 48" watched one show just fine, next show was all messed up, third show was HD native and of course looked great... go fig!)
I'd say though from what I can tell, it's the actual stations doing the messed up stretches and what not. DTV just simply broadcasts whatever signal they are given, for better or worse. | |

But like a previous poster pointed out, they count every national Sunday NFL game as a separate channel, which is an obvious distortion because they aren't true channels but PPV broadcasts.

Shouldn't it really be about how much HD content a provider is capable of providing? You can have 100 HD channels, but have minimal HD content, or you can have 10 HD channels and have a ton of HD content. If I cared, I'd prefer the latter. | |

Hanover, MN | Still Leaps and Bounds Better Comcast I had Comcast's HD service for a couple years and just switched to DIRECTV last month. To be honest, it surprises Comcast is still considered to be competing with DIRECTV in the HD market. With Comcast, HD channels were a novelty. I watched channels because they were HD. With DIRECTV, there are so many HD channels it's starting to become just a normal channel with a good picture which is what is should be.
If you have Comcast or any I guess any other cable provider, for the love of your HD television set, convert to DIRECTV.

Try that with cable and its $15.99 PER DVR.
I have 3 DVRs (two HD-DVRs HR20s and an old SD DTV Tivo) and I pay $15.99 total for all of those! (over whatever my package price is) ($5.99 + $5 + $5).
With Cable that same setup would be $15.99+$15.99+$15.99 = $47.97! | |

TBS-HD is, by far, the worst! Even "Frank-TV" which says it is in "HD" is not true HD. They stretch the sides to fill the screen and it looks horrible.
I don't understand why A&E and TBS can't broadcast syndicated shows in HD. 24, King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond were all broadcast in HD, yet the repeats on these channels is 4:3 on A&E and stretched 4:3 on TBS. | |

1 edit | Re: Love and hate This problem is often seen when the new slimlines get out of line with the sats All signals on the 103b should be above 90% the 101 sat should be from 95-100%. A common issue to look for is if the even and odd transponders show a pattern of high and lows, which means the dish is just slightly out of line. The alignment procedure of the new slimline is much easier than the old dishes, the slimline has a fine adjustment mechanism. This will fix the pixelation issues, but the audio sync is another issue. | |

| | | Re: Up To 100 channels, eh? Who is going to need that many channels for entertainment?
When I cancelled my cable subscription, I was down to watching two shows on the scifi channel and occasional looks at cnn and the local news channel.
Now I download torrents of the shows I used to watch on scifi, along with every movie that shows up on dvd, and have numerous news sites to look at if I want.
I would much rather pay money to have a fast internet connection. 100 channels of tv is 97 channels of junk. | |

Waterbury, CT | Comcast has a nice hd lineup here in my area. Actually..we just got 9 or 10 new ones today as well.
I think they're very competitive with direct tv when you include their whole lineup, premium channel hd..and hd on demand.
Perhaps this isn't true in all their areas yet but I think it's a big priority for them and it won't be long until everyone see's the same.
Also, I personally think their picture is better than Direct tv's.
To each their own. I think both satellite and cable co's have made this a priority.

Any official discussion on HD rollouts from DirecTV said "up to".
