Cox dishes 13 new high-def channels to Hampton Roads, Virginia
After gifting Hampton Roads, Virginia with a few fresh high-definition channels in early November, the carrier has came bearing real gifts in December. Starting this week, users in the region will find 13 newcomers in beautiful HD, bringing the total to 47. The high-def additions are: Lifetime Network, Lifetime Movie Network, Hallmark Movie Channel, USA, MTV, CNBC, Nickelodeon, CMT, Sci-Fi, Spike, Bravo, VH1 and Planet Green. For whatever reason, Cox also threw in the SD version of Chiller, even though the HD version is more than accessible. At any rate, the company is also planning to serve up MLB Network beginning in the New Year, not to mention an undisclosed amount of new HD channels in 2009.

Well this is only partially true. There are many areas of Hampton Roads that have not yet gone through the infrastructure upgrades needed to receive these channels. Parts of Hampton are without them, as is Yorktown. Chesapeake only recently (within the past week) was upgraded.
Many Hampton Roads subscribers are pretty upset...
