Travel Channel HD Prepping for Launch

Last week the head of Discovery Networks revealed that his company will launch two new high-def channels in January, although he declined to name them. I suspected one would be the Travel Channel, as it's hard to imagine a network that benefits more from an HD makeover than one focused on world travel -- as well as the fact that HD Theater (formerly Discovery HD Theater) already runs some Travel Channel content in high-def.

Well I happened to be on the Cox San Diego website yesterday and ran across this nugget:

We are pleased to announce that New HD channels will be soon available for customers in select areas with minimum of Cox Standard Cable service and HD service.

Discovery HD - 724
CNN HD - 731
TLC HD - 736
Versus/Golf HD - 751
HGTV HD - 753
History Channel HD - 755
Travel Channel HD - 760
Food Network - 767
NFL Network HD* - 772 (
available now in all areas)
NHL Network HD* - 773
Cinemax HD** - 780
Science Channel HD - 782
Starz HD** - 790

All 13 HD networks will soon be available to customers in the Cox serviceable areas of Chula Vista and Vista, and will be launched in additional Cox San Diego serviceable areas soon afterward.

Time Warner SD is also adding some HD channels. A whopping two (2)...lol
Anyway check their website out...MHD and A&E HD. Too bad no History, Discovery Health, Discovery, TLC, Sci-Fi, or Chiller HD channels on the way.
