When CNN-HD launched, we talked on this thread about where is the HD programming. Now that playoffs are going to only be on Fox, the same question can be asked TBS-HD. I would prefer more full time HD channels like HDNet and HDNet Movies. But since Comcast has to match Verizon and D* almost channel for channel, we end up with TBS and CNN.

Oh, I see. I do like the looks of the playoffs on TBS HD but I hear ya'. So in March of 2009, are ALL stations in the "800's" chancel line up whether they're HD or not (but still digital)? It's less than 18 months away so they should be getting busy adding in stations.
HD NET would be cool.
