Their Lucky Day!
Well now, we find out they are bugging out of some States. Well now some enterprisng souls have been doing some sluething on the qualify of HD signals coming from Comcast. And what do they say? –
The Comcast channels with added compression are listed as follows, grouped by QAM.
Discovery Channel
SciFi
USAFood
NatGeo
UHDA&E
HGTV
StarzCinemax
HBO
TLCAnimal Planet
Discovery HD Theater
History HDExtra compression was also applied to several other channels, presumably to make room for future channel additions. MHD is one such example.
So the question has to be asked. Is Comcast REALLY delivering HD or what I will coin a as BHD, [Botched HD]. All for the convenience of cramming more channels in infrastructure that needs upgrades and a move to DOCSIS3. So lets recap here –
- They pack public venues.
- They mislead customers.
- They Exit markets not wanting to compete.
- They have service you could die for — as in you will be dead before you get it.
I am glad I am no longer a customer.

There’s more. You can’t offer EVERY customer on a node DOCSIS 3. Not enough capacity.
Yeah ain’t it choice.
