Comcast throws in AMC HD, TLC HD while it's down in Atlanta

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 30th 2008 at 5:21PM

Folks relying on Charter for their HD programming in Atlanta have had AMC HD for just under two months now, but based on user reports from the area (including Alpharetta), it seems as if Comcast is just now getting around to matching the offer. Shortly after introducing a trio of newcomers to the Peach State's capital, AMC HD and TLC HD have been tossed in late just for good measure. Unannounced, but very welcome.

[Thanks, Rusty and Tim]

Are these stretch-o-vision channels? If they are, just leave them alone. It's pointless.

Rusty! I haven't even noticed these yet! Good call! I'm in Alpharetta too and just checked these. Looks like some programming is stretched, but some appears to be legit. I'll take it.
