Just wanted to let you guys know I've had the Comcast HDTV/DVR tuner box and they have added the local channels to the HDTV lineup. Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS are in Hi Fef, was watching Seinfld at & and it's a world of difference! WOO HOO bring on the NFL All games in HDTV this fall!!!!
What all HD Channels are they offering? I didn't know that the Tri-Cities Locals went HD yet?
Tri-Cities networks have been HD for quite a while.
I'm sure Comcast is charging an arm and a leg for their service as well.
Doesn't cost me anymore than what I was already paying. I think the digital package is just like $10. That's the channels from like 100-200, the digital music channels, and the HD channels.
You'll need a different receiver than their standard digital receiver to utilize HD signals.
Right. I thought you were just talking about the cost to have the basic channels. I'm still stuck in the stone age with my viewing capabilities. I don't have a monster hd super tv like you've got. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
How many HD channels are they offering and moreso, what format are they offering it in, is it 720p, 1080i, I would doubt it is 1080p?
Now here you go getting all technical... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I have no idea about any of that German you just spoke, but from what you asked that I could decipher, I think they have 10 channels available right now.
Thanks buddy, you keep watching your 180p TV and miss out on a TV experience you will never forget. You have not seen real TV until you witness Lou Holtz in HD, I didn't think it was possible to have that many wrinkles on your face and that large of lenses for you eyeglasses [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Eh...I know what old Lou looks like. I could pick him out of a lineup. I don't need to see a few dozen more wrinkles. I guess in HD, you can really see the spittle fly when he says thufferin thuckatash. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
A buddie of mine gets ESPN HD for free, he just did a channel seach and his TV located it. He doesn't even have a digital cable box in his room.
Comcast has a lot of their channels un-encoded. If you have an integrated QAM tuner on your set, you should be able to get quite a few of their digital channels for free.
Before I switched to Dish, I was getting about 25 digital channels.

I already tried to sign up for DISH but too many trees and no line of sight to the satelite.
If is was a close call on the line of sight with DISH then call DirecTV because if I am not mistaking their dish shoots just a tad higher than DISH and that might clear the trees for ya. But, if it wasn't even close then don't even try it.
Had the Comcast Box for a onth now and HD channels have went from 5 to 10 with 4 being the locals I never got that with the Satellite. Plus there supposed to add the movie channels in HD in the coming weeks that's another 5 or so there. I've had 3 guys at work drop their Satellite, because of double billing, etc with Comcast and theyoffer you a better deal if you get the Internet.

That's correct. And for those with the internet package, all Adelphia email addresses are now being converted to Comcast addresses.

[/ QUOTE ]We have some folks that work in the courthouse . See if you can find out if the County isn't footing the bill to change the poles that don't have enough clearance. Could be I'm wrong. But that looks like an awful lot of taxpayer money if I'm not. More so since it isn't available in all parts of the county.
