Washington, DC / Baltimore, MD - HDTV - Page 108

YEs I see it here in Woodbridge too. This channel is even worse than TNT HD as far as HD is concerned. Universal HD would have been HD channel to add in my opinion. Although I only have 10 more weeks with Comcast. I can drop them in December. I'm rarely watching Comcast now since I got FIOS, but for only $30 a month for almost all the channels including HBO and showtime I don't mind keeping it until December since I'm saving over $55 a month off the normal price.

It all good in DC also, they're currently showing Showtime with Deniro

24 channels and counting.

I'm surprised that Comcast didn't add CNN-HD at the same time. You would figure that if Comcast and Turner had people doing negotiations that they would have just make a deal all at once. I mean we know that CNN is one of those must have channels that is in every line up, so they are sure to be on Comcast's lineup eventually.

I'd rather have CNN-HD than TBS-HD. Although I'm not a baseball fan.

TBS-HD has been added to Montgomery County (stretch-o-vision).

TBS-HD on channel 232 in Alexandria as well. So glad I'll be able to see the Sox in HD for the divisional series.

Also, I noticed this yesterday - looks like we have a free preview week for Showtime?

Another finger pointing towards MASN-HD existing next spring.

ANything else added?

This hopefully will happen. I must admit that I rarely watched the Nats because of the terrible PQ and it would be a shame to be in a new stadium with out HD.

CNNHD looks awesome especially programs out of New York (HD studios)...

I wonder if they will have MASN2 HD for when both teams are playing.

Awesome, I can't wait to get home from work and check it out. Did you notice if A&E HD is active? I saw that it's now on our channel lineup.

The Showtime free preview has been nice. Caught a lot of good movies this weekend. I think it ends today though.

Has anyone heard anything about RCN adding TBS HD in the D.C. area?

What is stretch-o-vision? I have comcast montgomery county.

It's where 4x3 material is stretched to fit wide screen tv's, so everyone looks shorter and fatter...

I just checked again, and no. No A&E or anything else besides TBS-HD.

People should be warned to not expect any HD on TBS-HD except for the baseball games. The TBS-HD and new DirecTV HD channels threads in the programming forum indicate that no one has seen any HD on TBS-HD except for the Braves game yesterday. TBS-HD does the ugly stretch-o-vision for all SD, ala TNT-HD. With a sitcom heavy line-up, a lot of the shows on TBS are not available in HD anyway. Until TBS-HD gets HD versions of the more recent sitcoms and the equipment to air them, this will be one bandwidth wasting HD channel once the NLCS is over. This is why I have mixed feelings on wanting Verizon Fios to add it.

CNN-HD, on the other hand, does have new HD content every day for shows from their New York city studios and is producing some pre-recorded programs in HD. Once the cable system adds a channel, it usually stays there. But it would be useful if the bandwidth tight cable companies could provide TBS-HD for the next 2 weeks and then dump it in favor of CNN-HD until they have the bandwidth available for both. Not likely to happen however.

Im in Comcast MoCo myself. So nothing else today? Our BMore neighbors to the north have HGTVHD, Discovery Channel HD and A&E HD. What gives? When do we get any of those in MoCo? What about FoodTV HD? Do you MoCo guys have that new HD Special Events channel between between HBO and the other movie channels? Or is that where todays addition went?

That definitely makes sense. My receivers that got a good signal before adding the amlifier are the ones in my basement, with considerably shorter cable runs - they're in the same room as where my antenna cable comes inside. The ones where the signal was much weaker were the ones upstairs.

Comcast calls off Millennium (group) deal.

Not sure whether this is good or bad.

The last 3 videos aired on The Tube are listed at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...9#post11775539

I have Arlington Comcast and the HD box, but I don't have TBS-HD yet. the channel shows up if I type in the numbers but there's no picture and just that purple box, like when it's a channel that you are not signed up for.

Does anyone know why this might be? All of the other HD channels come in fine.

So is it a safe bet that Manassas and Manassas Park will also have TBS-HD on Channel 232 since Woodbridge and the surrounding NoVA area also got it?

I hope so I would like to see the Phils in 1080i or 720p whichever one they use

Go PHILLIES

Also in Manassas still waiting for A&E HD, FOOD HD, Universal HD, NFL HD, have NGC HD on 224.

left out no HGTV HD

Nice, same here. I still can't believe they pulled this off. 14 years of frustration is over. Hopefully we play the Pads and not the Rockies.

This TBS comes at the perfect time. I checked before I left for work this morning and TBS shows up but tells me it's not available to me for some reason. Hopefully it'll be on when I get home.

Is there a place on the web that informs people of new channels? The channel listing for Montgomery County at Comcast doesn't even work.
