Jan 7th 2009 12:37AM Is it just me but Scrubs wasn't in HD??? Very disappointed with ABC for not showing Scrubs in HD. Was hoping that a change in venue will finally show this in hi-def.

Comcast rolling out Science, Disney and ABC Family HD channels {Engadget HD}
Apr 3rd 2008 12:08AM I live in Roseville, CA (just minutes north of Sacramento) and was pleasantly suprised when I was channel surfing that they've added Science HD, ABC Family HD and Disney Channel HD. It looks like they've just added it very recently that they've got ABC Family and Disney mixed up on the onscreen channel guide. LOL.
And yes the HD channel squeezing has made the existing HD channel's quality take a nosedive. Just take a look at Universal HD and Discovery HD Theater for graininess, artifacting and blockiness. For the newly added channels, SciFi is not even in HD until at night. AMC HD has taken the TNT or A&E route and just stretched their SD movies. CNN and TLC was passable, with Animal Planet and Food Network the best of the bunch.
I've also noticed the slight black bars on some of the Discovery and TLC shows. It looks like its on just some shows but not all of them.
Comcast HD is certainly a mixed bag at the moment. I'm gonna do the wait and see approach with them. Definitely, if the quality gets worst, I'll switch to DirectTV, Dish Network or even ATT U-verse.
