What channels does comcast have in HD?

When I go to their website they don't say which channels they offer. It just has some general description of how great HD is and some samples of channels they have. I already use comcast for my internet and cable, and I have 2 replay tvs and a tv tuner on my computer so it would be easier for me to use them than satellite. How can I find out what channels they have?

On Comcast's website you can type in your zipcode to find out what channels you'll get.

comcast's site in denver is pretty out of date.

HBO HD
Showtime HD
Cinemax HD
Starz HD
ABC
NBC
CBS
FOX
CW
PBS
My Network TV
Discovery HD Theatre
InHD
TNT HD
ESPN HD
ESPN 2 HD
PPV HD On Demand movies.

InHD carries any HD events from our regional sports net (altitude). They also carried the OLN HD NHL games from last season.

some markets still have InHD2, but that is being phased out system wide, i believe. I know other markets also have Universal HD and MHD (mtv's HD music channel) but i think that tops out the list of channels that are carried in HD by comcast nationwide.

I go to www.comcast.com and look at packages it brings me here:

There is no information on which channels are avaliable in my area. I put my address and zip code in and it still doesn't tell me anything specific. The list GutBomb provided from Denver doesn't have Universal HD, which is what I need to watch the US Open. Can you provide a link to where it shows which sepecific channels I can get?

your replay tv's won't work for recording HD. they may record HD, but they will record it in SD. same with the tv tuner on your computer. none of them will recieve HD either, you'll need an HD reciever for that.

Comcast's HD (and SD) offerings vary from service area to area. Check the local topic for your area, found in this topic:

Also check this topic, for a list of all Comcast HD channels:

What about the OTA HD channels for ComCast? I have Comcast Standard Cable.

It varies by market. Since you don't tell us where you live, follow the advice above and look in the local forum for your market area.

For the future, if you add where you live into your available info, it will help you in many cases get information from the forum members more readily.

Thats really strange, its completely backwards of the HD setups in Michigan. We have all the national HD channels from 199-230 (not every spot is filled), then the locals starting at 231 and going up.
