They're not talking about HD channels, they're talking about HD content...so, Comcast is adding their HD-on demand content to it's HD channel listing to get to that 500 number.

right. but most people don't care about HD content or "options." they want HD channels. it's misleading and i'm glad someone is calling comcast out. comcast knows exactly what they're doing in these commercials.

The worst part is, they don't include DirecTV's HD VOD content. That's straight up fraud.

This is America why let facts get in the way of a good commercial :) I have been watching Apple commercials for years where all they do is bad mouth the PC with out facts or proof?

Did you know Coke is better than Pepsi and Tide gets clothes cleaner than Surf,
and 4 out of 5 dentist prefer Crest.

And I am better than everyone else 9 out of 10 Engandet readers say so :)
