I just left Dishnetwork and came back to Comcast 2 weeks ago. (I'm sure I'll discuss the reason for this in another thread somewhere) I asked the technician when he was installing if he knew of any new hd channels coming and of course he didn't know. He did say however that he knew in our area Comcast was going to start pulling more and more of the analog stations away and make everybody go to digital cable by 2011 (probably) so they can free-up more room for more HD channels. If this is true I'm thinking more and more HD should be added as the analog channels are shut down. We'll see!...Here's to hoping for the best.
