Science, Disney and ABC Family HD coming to Comcast in Philadelphia
If you thought Comcast's rollout of Science HD, Disney HD and ABC Family HD was all over, think again. We just received word from the City of Brotherly Love that the aforementioned trio is heading to Philadelphia's lineup in mid-May. Of course, you're probably still keeping busy with the five newcomers that landed earlier this week, but come May 15th, you'll have to whittle out even more time for three more. Not a bad problem to have, huh?[Thanks, J]

The quality of Comcast's HD channels is pretty appalling, despite Philly being the headquarters of the cable behemoth. Many channels are an orgy of pixels, and several cannot be considered HD at all because they are just SD stretched into a barf-inducing Hall Of Mirrors effect. Most frustrating of all, however, is the lack of:
1. Sci Fi Channel HD - no Battlestar Galactica in HD!
2. HDNet
3. SPEED Channel HD
I can understand the problem of a lack in bandwidth, but if you trying to squeeze 30 channels into a pipe made for 10, make them GOOD channels instead of shit like Animal Planet HD.

And yet somehow Comcast Philadelphia fails to add Sci-Fi HD, USA-HD and Discovery HD. And crap like Animal Planet HD and bunch of other stretch-o-vision junk get a priority on a line up. Hey Comcast, if you reading this where the above mentioned channels as well as FX HD. And while I am at it - since when a 10 Mbps video stream is considered HD?
