So commercials are running around the area saying that Comcast has more channels in HD than DirecTV. Yea, I laugh at those because I know that claim isn't true, but I didn't realize how untrue the claim is. How can you NOT have any of the news networks in HD? Like CNN, MSNBC, etc. Those are BASIC HD CHANNELS.
What's even more infuriating is the fact that the Seattle area seems to have the least number of available HD channels out of all the areas that Comcast serves. This is outrageous.
I purchased an HDTV with a built in QAM tuner a few months ago and was able to receive local HD channels. I have basic cable - no box. Ever since Sunday, the local HD channels either have no signal, cut out or are pixelated. Is Comcast scrambling them?
