Bright House bringing ABC Family / Disney / MGM HD to Central Florida
It said that it would be adding 50 new HD channels by mid- to late-2009, and while three newcomers isn't the hugest of deals, we suppose it has to start somewhere. Bright House Networks has just announced that it will be delivering a new trio to Central Florida: ABC Family HD (1337), Disney HD (1335) and MGM Channel HD (1306). It should be noted that the latter station will only be available to those who subscribe to its $6 / month High Definition Pack, which also includes MOJO HD, HDNet, HDNet Movies, Universal HD and HD Showcase. Nice gesture, BHN, but we're still not totally over that whole CableCARD fiasco.

Meanwhile, back at BHN in Michigan, crickets are chirping.
Seriously, can I please get some effing HD channels in Michigan? We don't even get local channels MyNetworkTV or CW. LOCAL CHANNELS!!! I missed out on all sorts of Pistons games in HD this year because the channel isn't offered!!! And forget about any other *standard* HD channels. Our last "big" update came with TBS HD....AFTER the baseball playoffs last year. How 'bout Discovery, CNN, Sci-Fi, History...oh, and even with the small number of HD channels, they're still doing 3:1 compression on a few channels, which makes them worthless.
