They are mostly placeholders for when the HD content becomes available. Nothing really to get excited about. By the time these placeholder have real HD content to show, most providers will have added them by then.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 7:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV relies on Where Is HD? data for quantity comparisons]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/04/directv-relies-on-where-is-hd-data-for-quantity-comparisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/04/directv-relies-on-where-is-hd-data-for-quantity-comparisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[Most is perhaps a little overstrong statement now.

A few years ago, it mattered a whole lot more, because the average number of HD channels on a given cable or satellite system was pretty low, so every new channel added counted for a lot.  But now we're talking about the difference between 50 or a few more, and many of these are regional sports channels or other "limited audience appeal" channels.  So now we're just splitting hairs IMO.<br><br>I'm on Dish, and I don't care that they've been passed up, becase I have LOTS of HD channels to watch, they all look pretty good, and I'm sure I'll have more soon.<br><br>My only gripe is not having SciFi HD in time for BSG Season 4, but I know that's coming soon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bslenter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 8:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV relies on Where Is HD? data for quantity comparisons]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/04/directv-relies-on-where-is-hd-data-for-quantity-comparisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/04/directv-relies-on-where-is-hd-data-for-quantity-comparisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm pretty sure my cable channel has... let's count.<br><br>PBS HD<br>CBS HD<br>NBC HD<br>ABC HD<br>FOX HD<br>NBC's other affiliate in HD (so the same as above except for news)<br>History HD<br>A&E HD<br>TNT HD<br>ESPN HD<br>ESPN2 HD<br>HD Theater<br>Universal HD<br>Mojo HD<br>NatGeo HD<br>MHD<br><br>That's it.

Here is what I got:<br><br>Burlington Telecom: 6<br>Comcast: 18<br>DirecTV: 31<br>Dish Network: 24<br><br>So it looks like, for me at least, DirecTV really would be the better option. Too bad I'm only paying $9 extra per month for my HD television service from Comcast over what I would pay for just my internet. If I was paying full price I might consider the switch.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2008 12:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV relies on Where Is HD? data for quantity comparisons]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/04/directv-relies-on-where-is-hd-data-for-quantity-comparisons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/04/directv-relies-on-where-is-hd-data-for-quantity-comparisons/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh, and no, I'm not getting a great deal on my television service...
