Comcast dropping a fresh dozen in former Insight territory
Unfortunately for those in areas that used to be covered by Insight, it seems that not all of you will be blessed with the full 22 HD channels that were announced for Bloomington, IL. A new report originating from Martinsville, Indiana asserts that programming changes are looming for Comcast subscribers in and around that city. Aside from many SD networks being shuffled around and even dropped entirely, a full dozen high-def channels are slated to land on May 1st. Of course, we can't know just how far these additions will spread from Martinsville, but feel free to jump on past the break for the full list (and cross your fingers come May).Comcast additions to Martinsville, Indiana lineup -- effective May 1, 2008:
- CNN HD
- Disney HD
- National Geographic HD
- Starz HD
- Fox Sports Midwest HD
- A&E HD
- AMC HD
- Food Network HD
- HGTV HD
- MOJO HD
- Versus / Golf HD
- ABC Family HD (Thanks, Spiza and DeadPixel!)

This includes a lot of southern Indiana. We are also getting MOJO, ABC Family, and Versus/Golf in HD, but no Sci-Fi. They are also dramastically increasing prices for regular cable. Its going up by at least $10.

This is the same list they're giving us in Tippecanoe County, which includes Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana.

That's the list for Lawrence County IN also. And for $1.99 more a month, I can get all but two of those (NG-HD and Starz)!
Of course, this is after the $11 increase just for keeping the same channels I already had with Insight. And if I didn't pay the $1.99 to upgrade they would charge me $6 more for my DVR service. And they'd take away my On Demand. Strange that they would charge $11 more for not having On Demand, and that I save $4 for getting it back.
