Cox lines up 4 more HD channels for Norfolk / Hampton Roads, VA

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 1st 2008 at 7:05PM


Although Cox subscribers up in NoVA have had the four HD channel we're about to mention for months now, we suppose late really is better than never. Reportedly, the carrier is gearing up to launch Bravo HD, USA HD, SciFi HD and CNBC HD in the Norfolk / Hampton Roads area of Virginia, with the go-live date pegged for July 24th. Is a happy dance in order?

[Thanks, Martin]

Cox unloads 10 new HD options in Santa Barbara, CA

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 29th 2008 at 9:58AM


Those growing displeased with Cox Communication's lineup in Santa Barbara, California will have to back off the griping for at least awhile, as said carrier just dropped a full ten new high-def channels in the area. Effective immediately, users in the region can park their derriere and catch USA HD (704), TBS HD (707), CNN HD (722), CNBC HD (724), Discovery HD (732), Animal Planet HD (733), Lifetime HD (741), History HD (755), HGTV HD (761) and Food Network HD (764), not to mention On DEMAND HD on slot 701. Anyone else with cable jealous, or what?

[Thanks, Carlos]

Cox Communications to carry Hallmark Movie Channel HD

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 24th 2008 at 4:09AM

Another month, another carrier picking up Hallmark Movie Channel HD. This time, we see Cox Communications landing an agreement with Crown Media Holdings in order to distribute the high-definition feed of Hallmark Movie Channel. The operator currently beams out the SD flavor along with Hallmark Channel, but this newly inked multi-year agreement ensures that fans of the network will soon be seeing an HD version. Exactly how soon, unfortunately, remains unanswered.

Cox bringing handful of new HD channels to Rhode Island

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 14th 2008 at 8:16PM


Hot enough for you, New England? If you've been scrounging for any reason whatsoever to remain indoors, take a listen at this. The latest Cox New England newsletter has informed its recipients that USA HD, Bravo HD, SciFi HD and AMC HD are on the way (along with one other), and our tipster in Rhode Island was able to confirm. Additionally, CNBC HD was mentioned in the pamphlet, so we'd cautiously assume that it too will surface in the near future. Sadly, no launch dates were given for any of the stations.

[Thanks, Allan]

Update: RI can expect these on June 18th; CT / MA will have them June 25th. Thanks everyone!

Cox brings a new half dozen HD channels to Greater Louisiana

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 9th 2008 at 10:08AM


Just a few months after Baton Rouge received nine new HD channels from Cox, the operator has found it suitable to unload a half dozen more in the Greater Louisiana region. As of this month, folks down in the Bayou can find Pelican HD (713), Lifetime HD (726), USA HD (727), CNBC HD (744), Bravo HD (750) and the all-important SciFi HD (759) as well. With the heat being like it is, we'd say you just found six new reasons to stay camped out within your air conditioned abode.

Cox adds 8 fresh HD channels in Pensacola, FL

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 5th 2008 at 1:31PM


Hope you're ready for a new load of high-def options down in the Florida panhandle, because that's exactly what you're going to get. Starting this week, Cox subscribers in the Pensacola / Fort Walton Beach area will be blessed with 8 new ones, and we have to say, it's a pretty good bunch. We're talking Bravo HD (749), The Weather Channel HD (738), CNBC HD (736), SciFi HD (727), USA HD (722), Lifetime Movie Network HD (771), Lifetime HD (729) and Golf / Versus HD (742). Supposedly, these newcomers are already live and just begging to be viewed, so give us a shout and let us know how they're treating you.

[Thanks, Rama]

Cox to give Phoenix TiVo users free tuning adapter to cope with SDV

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 3rd 2008 at 11:54AM


Aw, now isn't this just the sweetest thing you've ever seen? Cox has found the generosity to not only send out information to let Phoenix, Arizona subscribers know about the forthcoming implementation of SDV (July 1st, if you're wondering), but to promise a free tuning adapter to CableCARD-using TiVo Series3 / HD owners to boot. In all seriousness, we only wish every other cable company out there would handle this situation in a similar manner, but things just can't be this easy everywhere, right? Check the read link for the full letter.

Cox Northern Virginia gets 5 new HD nets: SciFi HD included

by Darren Murph, posted May 31st 2008 at 9:29AM


No double-takes necessary, Cox has just delivered five new HD channels in the Northern Virginia (Fairfax) area. According to a local familiar with the situation (read: watching the tube), subscribers up that way can now tune into USA HD, Bravo HD, SciFi HD, CNBC HD and Lifetime HD. Per usual, it's anybody's guess as to when (or if) these stations will find their way onto other systems, but don't ever give up hope, alright?

[Thanks, Eric]

Cox brings 11 new HD channels to Topeka, Kansas

by Darren Murph, posted May 28th 2008 at 5:25AM


Historically, Topeka has been one of the last locales in Kansas to get gifted with new HD channels. Nevertheless, quite a few folks in the area are celebrating today as 11 newcomers have joined the fold. From SciFi HD to USA HD to NFL Network HD, Cox has ratcheted Topeka's HD lineup to 36 total stations in addition to HD On Demand. We'll admit, this is a pretty impressive list, and we can only hope it bleeds out to other systems here shortly. Head on past the break for the full rundown of new nets.

[Thanks, Kevin and James]

Lifetime Networks grabs popcorn, gets cozy with Cox

by Darren Murph, posted May 15th 2008 at 9:10AM

After tying the knot with AT&T and Verizon, it seems that Lifetime HD has wooed Cox Communications as well. Lifetime Networks has just announced a "wide-ranging agreement" that will bring all of its multi-platform channels -- including Lifetime Television HD, Lifetime Movie Network HD, Lifetime On Demand and Lifetime Movie Network Espanol On Demand -- to the cable carrier. Of course, the network took the opportunity to restate just how many females aged 18 to 54 will be absolutely elated to hear the news, but they'll all have to patiently wait until June before it begins rolling out to Cox systems.

Comcast / Cox join venture looks to support tru2way development

by Richard Lawler, posted May 15th 2008 at 8:03AM


Ahead of tru2way's expected big splash next week, TVWorks and itaas have worked out a deal to combine tru2way standards with itaas' istart developer program. Devs cranking out the OCAP tru2way apps for TVWorks (jointly owned by Cox and Comcast) platforms can join istart to get the tools and support necessary to test and deploy them. istart is also hooked up to Time Warner Cable and Scientific Atlanta's tru2way initiatives, so this should ease rollout against various networks and hardware standards, although we're still waiting to see more compatible hardware slated to hit store shelves.

Cox adding a dozen HD channels in Northwest Arkansas

by Darren Murph, posted May 10th 2008 at 6:05AM


Don't say Cox Communications never did anything for you, alright Arkansas? Based on a letter from the company received by one particular fellow in the area, the aforementioned carrier is gearing up to launch a full dozen new high-def channels in Northwestern Arkansas. Specifically, the regions of Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers and Bentonville will be covered, but we suspect the newcomers could bleed out to other areas as well. So, what all will you be getting? Try Versus / Golf HD, Food HD, Travel Channel HD, Cinemax HD, Animal Planet HD, Science HD, CNN HD, TBS HD, TLC HD, Discovery HD, HGTV HD and NFL Network HD. No specific date was given, but all twelve should go live sometime this month.

[Thanks, Dwight]

Cox adding five HD channels (SciFi included) in Las Vegas, NV

by Darren Murph, posted May 3rd 2008 at 9:19AM


Not that any of you parked out in Vegas are really in watching the tube on a Saturday (right?), but if you've come down with some sort of sickness that's keeping you away from Paradise Road and the vicinity, here's something sure to cheer you up. We've received word that four five new channels have appeared in the Cox EPG in your area, and though they aren't available to watch just yet, it's only a matter of time now. Before long, you should have unbridled access to Animal Planet HD (758), Travel Channel HD (766), Science HD (769) and yes, SciFi HD on slot 745. Not a bad way to start your May, now is it?

[Thanks, John]

Update: ErikR pointed out that these four, along with USA HD (734), are arriving June 1st.

FSN Kansas City HD arrives in Topeka on Cox

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 24th 2008 at 2:23PM


Although the 2008 MLB season is well underway, we suppose Cox subscribers in Topeka can't complain with being able to catch at least some of the 88 Royals games that are slated to air in high-def on FSN Kansas City. Effective immediately, Cox users in the area can tune in during game times for a high-definition feed of certain matchups, but for whatever reason, these same folks are still waiting to receive the likes of Science HD, Animal Planet HD, Cinemax HD, Travel Channel HD, NFL HD, etc. -- all networks that are already live in smaller locales such as Manhattan and Salina. Keep griping, Topekans, we'd be sour too.

Cox brings another handful of HD channels to Oklahoma

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 22nd 2008 at 3:59AM


Just two months after Oklahoma City and Tulsa received a new trio of high-def channels from Cox Communications, a new six-pack has found its way onto the on-deck circle. Based on an updated HD channel lineup for both of the aforementioned cities, residents can expect Sci-Fi HD (752), Lifetime HD (759), Bravo HD (763), CNBC (784), Weather Channel HD (785) and USA HD (732) to arrive in short order. Sadly, we're not sure exactly what day to expect the new half dozen, but hopefully "Coming Soon" is just hours (rather than days, weeks or months) away.

[Thanks, Philip]
