Noticed just before 10pm last night 292-Halogen a new Channel so what's next another Channel using a Science word other then Oxygen and it's by the Church Channels not by like Current TV or Fine Living or so on.
I hoping for a Website that for my area. |

I think some parts of the Pittsburgh area are changing tomorrow (28th)? I know my father got the new channels, but he's in the south hills area up closer to the city itself. |

@comcast.net | We got everything they promised here in Canonsburg. Spike HD isn't displaying info in the guide but it's all there. Any word on the next round? A rep told me that there would be more before the end of this year. |

Yes they appeared today. I am especially fond of the NBA TV HD, now I can follow the PGH Penguins.....oops forgot that would have to be on NHL Network HD.......what's up Comcast ?? If there is someone in the know please explain how the certain new channels were selected. Instead of NHL and maybe ESPNU in Hd we get NBA and the Biography channel HD. At this rate we could reach 100 HD channels by 2015. |

btw here in northern west virginia we didn't do the changes yet. Maybe they will wait and do a massive change like they are doing over the rest of the country and we will see 40 or 50 new hd channels in november or december. |

eventually they will give people with out enough digital boxes 2 free dtas and 1 free digital box. I think some areas in the region already have them available so you might want to call or go to your local office. |

they announced that the city of pittsburgh and suburbs will go all digital in january. The rest of the region will go all digital before april 2010.
I haven't seen an formal announcement or a website yet. |

| steubenvill will be the last to get updated because their elderly went to the meetings saying they were upset comcast was making them rent digital boxes and not lowering their rates. Actually I think they are a prime candidate for world of more. Steubenville-weirton may get it at the same time pittsburgh gets it. What I don't understand is if steubenville and weirton share a headend now why don't we have the same lineup? |

Steubenville, OH | Steubenville and Weirton do not share the same headend. Steubenville is on a 550 system Weirton is on a 750 system. We pay the same rates as Weirton, but have not even close the channels that Weirton has. |

i have been told by regional and corporate that weirton and steubenville share the same headend. They combined the headends somehow. That is why I get the weather channel from steubenville instead of how it used to be when the headend was in weirton we got it from northern west virginia. |

Steubenville, OH | I have been told by many Comcast people that they are different, that is why the channel lineup is not the same. I wish Comcast combined them so Steubenville would get the same channels as Weirton. |
