I really like their new MOJO lineup.]]>Sep 25th 2006 7:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/]]>Sep 25th 2006 5:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/Sep 25th 2006 11:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/
BTW.... we carry MHD and it is a wonderful music channel at a fraction of the cost of HDNet.]]>Sep 26th 2006 8:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/ 1 - In my market, we're clearing analog channels to make room for more digital,HD, and VOD content. The uproar this creates from customers who see their beloved analog channels being relocated (requiring a digital tuner, either uilt-in or set-top) is a nightmare, but we don't get a lot of noise from those wanting HDNet. Advantage - status quo.
2 - Some content is a quick add (NFL Network), while some is not (Disney).The reasons are varied, but generally boil down to money and PR.Families demanded Disney, and started leaving to get it, so it was aquired despite the low costs/difficulties.The HDNet demographic is neither vocal nor numerous, and unwilling to treat the content as premium (e.g. HBO, Cinemax, et al.).Advantage - status quo.
3- At least in my market, the focus is on VOD (especially expanding HD content), digital voice/phone service, and preparing our customer base for the digital "switch" by migrating our exisitng lineup to all-digital (except the legacy networks).There are only so many resources available. Advantage - status quo.
4- Comcast wants to be a leader, so we want to have more and better of everything to offer our customers.I believe we are motivated to get HDNet, (hope it's soon), as do all of my colleagues.Advantage - HDNet add.
5- INHD is going to one channel, with INHD2 being replaced by MHD (MTV's high-def baby). This indicates a willingness to undertake HD adds and changes as they become feasible/profitable. Advantage - HDNet add.
- THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL COMCAST BULLET POINTS - but my observations, informed by the fact that I deal with it 8 hours a day.Looks good, but not quick, for adding HDNet to Comcast.]]>Sep 26th 2006 5:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/25/where-is-hdnet-on-comcast/Sep 27th 2006 4:04PM
