Comcast HD Update

Some quick checking on the Internet reveals that someone at Comcast HQ may have taken my May 31st post to heart. In late May, a Comcast exec was quoted as saying that a lack of HD content was hindering consumer high-def adoption. That notion seemed silly to me considering the vast number of HD channels in existence that Comcast didn't even carry. Since then, Comcast has stepped up to the plate by adding ESPN2 HD, MHD, TNT HD and Universal HD in many of its markets.

So kudos to Comcast -- I won't pretend that this blog had anything to do with it, but it's nice to see the world's largest cable company become a strong proponent of HD service.

Too bad Comcast refuses to add the 5 HDTV channels here in Ross/west view suburbs of Pittsburgh, that the rest of the area systems receive. Apparently FIOS is winning because COMCAST just DOESN'T have enough bandwidth !!!!!
