ESPN2HD and UniversalHD coming...

[kenny911]

To comcast. Their is a sticky about it at avsforum. The problem is that it depends on region bandwidth so if your city doesn't have the bandwidth you will have to wait longer.

I think I heard UHD was coming around the same time TNTHD was coming. We got TNT, still waiting on UHD.

I'll believe it when I see it. Too many promises from everyone about new HD channels. Comcast is going to get UHD and ESPN2, E* is going to get 21 Voom channels (last year), D* is going to provide new national HD channels (next year), FIOSTV is going to provide NGHD and VoomHD channels (real soon now). Pffft, I'm sick of it.

The word is Feb 9th for UHD on Comcast. Several people have already been notified thru their STBs.

Word is MTV-HD & ESPN2-HD are coming "soon" but no dates yet.

UHD just showed up today on Comcast here in Utah, channel 670. No sign of ESPN2HD or MTVHD, If comcast adds these I will probably not get Dish or Directv.

They are about to add ESPN2 but no one offers MTV-HD yet, and remember that D* and E* do not have Starz-HD and Max-HD or any of your local sports in HD.

D* only offers HBO, Showtime, Universal, both ESPNs, 2 HD-Nets, Discovery all in HD-Lite.
E* offers HBO, Showtime, Universal, both ESPNs, 2 HD-Nets, Discovery, TNT-HD, they also have the Voom channels, but in HD-Lite and a lot of reruns.

Remember, no HD locals on D* and E*.

UHD showed up in Detroit today.

Can't wait for ESPN2

Got UHD here as well in Howard Co, MD. Ch 250. HDOD is now 247.

Can't wait for Knight Rider in HD!

Actually, I think FIOSTV just added it a couple of days ago.

We got UHD today but we lost InHD2. But we still have the InHD special events channel with nothing but a InHD logo graphic and music on it.

 

[legends92]

Channel 182 UHD is live here in Valencia CA, and still have have INHD and INHD 2

 

[andygradel]

I'm not holding my breath for UHD and ESPN2 here in Pine Hill, New Jersey... I can see Philly out my window, but still haven't gotten TNT-HD yet even though my friends across the river have had it for months.

It's pretty funny, though, because Comcast is runninig an anti-Verizon ad campaign saying that "a big phone company wants to get special treatment from the politicians in Trenton for a new video service, but they don't even know where South Jersey is..." Sounds like someone's calling the kettle black, eh?

I am up at college and I just got off the phone with my Dad and he says that they replaced INHD2 with Universal HD. I am in Manahawkin, NJ. I guess no more Rangers, Yankees, and Knicks games in HD. Stupid bandwidth.

The INHD2-UHD switch is temporary, only during the Olympics.

The INHD2-UHD switch is temporary, only during the Olympics.

So after the olympics will it move to channel 208 and INHD2 come back to channel 207.

No, INHD2 will will return to channel 207 and UHD will go away, unless, that is, Comcast and UHD come to an agreement. They don't have a contract yet, but it is close.

Uhd

We got UHD (new channel 250) Thurs and get to keep INHD2 (channel 227). So I think it will be around for a while here in Baltimore.

UHD showed up in my guide last night here in MA.

 

[zombie]

UHD is here in pitsburgh in its own spot, i just noticed it last night.

:clap UHD is up and running here in N. Ridgeville, Ohio. Also a moving test pattern for FSNHD. While watching a Cavs game last night they were promoing some upcoming Cavs games to be in HD. Total surprise here. Don't know if there are any plans for HD beyond that. Kudos to Comcast.
