Shortly after
Comcast made the
bold move of yanking 38 analog channels from its expanded-basic analog tier, customer complaints unsurprisingly began to pour in. Thankfully, those chapped by the move have apparently learned to deal, as Comcast has witnessed a steep decrease in the amount of griping here in recent months. Better yet, the firm has decided to launch four new HD channels -- A&E HD, Food Network HD, HGTV HD, and National Geographic Channel HD -- in the Windy City with the bandwidth it freed up. Kudos Comcast, way to get your
priorities in order.

Ha, I've had all those HD channels in Maryland with Comcast for months!
Now I just want them to roll out SDV and DOCSIS 3.0! Do it Comcast!

I'd take HDNet Movies only over all 4 of them combined...

So now our city has caught up to other cities that never had their expanded basic pulled out from under them. I am thrilled. They could at least throw us a bone and beta their tivo service here.

SDV? No its Evil! I want all the basic-tier analog channels (along with as many HD channels as they will allow) available via unencrypted QAM.

SDV, sigh. We can all wait for a TiVo Series 4 that supports SDV and only costs $2,000.
