Although there's been no official announcement from Comcast, it seems that subscribers in the Seattle / Tacoma region have recently been blessed with four more HD options. According to tipster Cameron, the operator informed customers via postcards that it would be adding A&E HD, History Channel HD, USA HD and National Geographic HD as of December 6th. Comically enough, Comcast also sent out a friendly letter informing users in the area of price hikes that were coming in 2008, but we suppose you've got to pay to play, eh? As for channel numbers, you can catch the aforementioned additions on 670, 671, 672 and 673, respectively.[Thanks, Cameron]

Here in the Twin Cities, we have had A&E and Neo in HD for a while, I however just noticed last night that Food TV (AWESOME, Good Eats in HD) and now that I think of it, looks like History Channel was also added.
Now all I need to be happy with my HD line up is Sci Fi channel in HD, then I will have all the channels I watch in HD.

Scratch that, I checked this morning before heading to work. We did not get History Channel in HD. Discovery HD was renamed to Discovery Theater, wonder if that means we will be getting the other Discovery HD channels.
It also appears that Sci Fi was added, so now all I need is History in HD and I am set.

Oooweee now we are up to 24 HD channels with Comcast. When will we have 100 channels? I bought my set 4 years ago and we only hav 24 HD channels. Verizon plans to have 150 channels in a year.
