Comcast brings five more HD channels to Greater Baltimore area

What do you know? The same five HD channels Comcast rolled out to its home crowd on April 4th are now heading south to the Greater Baltimore, Maryland region. Effective immediately, users in Charm City can forget a hard day by feasting their eyes on AMC HD, Animal Planet HD, CNN HD, History HD and TLC HD. The additions bring the grand total of high-def offerings in the area to 36, but with Verizon snaking in to steal away market share and both major satcasters edging closer towards triple-digits, we'd say it shouldn't be resting on its laurels.[Thanks, Scott]

Maybe this is why my cable has been going crazy this past week. Everything seemed to be working this morning except for MOJO telling me I wasn't authorized to view it (I was a couple days ago!). Don't care about these channels too much, but the more HD the merrier I guess. Let's get some FX HD in there!

Glad to have History Channel, but I turned on AMC to find a 4:3 cropped movie stretched out to 16:9, A&E"HD"-style. Yuck.

So, they've added more HD channels--but they are rapidly taking a way channels from basic cable, FORCING subscribers to rent their expensive boxes--5 TV's in a household will amount to $70 EXTRA dollars each month--that's highway robbery! I'm not at all impressed with their new arrangements!!!!!!
I'd change to Verizon in a flash (their boxes are a mere $10 each--still a rip-off, but less), but don't want to change email address.
