Comcast Adds 428K HD/DVR Subs in Q1

Comcast said today that it deployed 428,000 HD and/or DVR boxes in the first quarter and now has 1.6 million such set-tops deployed throughout its service territory. The company plans to spend an additional $200-300 million this year on capital expenditures, a decent chunk of which will be used to acquire more high-def DVR boxes that are currently on back order in many of its markets.
