WTF Comcast

[MX2]

Is it like this for anyone else?

What package do you have?

 

[Shlong]

Nope I have comcast HD package & I get: TNT, TBS (though non of the content is in HD except Braves Games), CBS/ABC/FOX/NBC, ESPN, ESPN2, Discovery, MHD (MTV Music Television), INHD (sometimes will show the Hawks/Braves games on FSN), Versus/Golf Channel, and HBO-HD. Recently they added A&E, National Geographic, and Universal-HD. Still waiting for the NFL Network to be in HD though. I hear the Food Network, Weather Channel, and ESPN News will be in HD for Comcast soon.

The confusing thing is that you can get HD channels via the box even if you do not have one of the high end packages. From what I understand, if you get the Expanded Basic you will have all of those channels in HD minus TNT so perhaps they have you screwed up in the system.

You need their Digital Silver plan in order to get TNT HD

I hate how Comcast treats its HD channels. One day you have this channel, the next day they replace it with something else or it just disappears. My INHD2 is gone now, same with the UniversalHD channel that I watched from time to time, now I have this stupid Music HD channel that I NEVER watch instead. Oh well, at least we FINALLY got ESPN2HD where I live, only took them about 2 years.

Comcast HD varies by region. My parents' HD package in the Chicago area sucks and offers next to nothing, while the one here in the Bay Area is pretty decent and offers more HD channels.

You mean like we have ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN, DHD, HBO, and Cinemax and that's it even though we are paying the highest amount to Comcast? Yeah it's pretty awesome.

Crapcast is evil. If it wasnt for them being the only cable internet provider in my area, I wouldnt use them at all, I would get satellite since its a ton cheaper.
