Comcast will launch 27 high-definition channels and 10 additional digital channels April 27 on its Houston cable system.

The new HD channels will be grouped in the 600 range on Comcast’s channel system via its HD set-top boxes. Existing HD channels also will be moved into the 600 tier while remaining on their current channels. For example, HBO’s HD signal will be available at its current channel 460 and at channel 695.

New HD channels and their corresponding Comcast channel numbers are Speed Channel (601), Cartoon Network (622), Discovery (629), FX (631), ABC Family (632), Fox News (638), Lifetime (640), Disney (641), Animal Planet (642), Nickelodeon (643), E! (644), Spike (648), AMC (657) and SciFi (660).

Also, Travel Channel (662), TLC (663), Lifetime Movies (671), Biography (672), Fox Business (677), Discovery Science (678), Planet Green (679), Hallmark Movie Channel (680), NHL Channel (681), Style (683), TV One (684), Live Well (685) and Encore (696).

New standard digital channels are Reelz TV (102), Hallmark Movie Channel (103), Universal Sports (319), Ovation (118), Grand Cine (538), Mexicana! (539), Star Plus (723), Sony (724), Filipino Channel (725) and GMA Pinoy (726).

If you have basic Comcast cable and your TV has QAM tuner, you can get several of these HD channels.

I just test out my TV QAM tuner couple days ago...been using antenna for local HD channels. So far I saw Spike HD, FX HD, Fox News HD, Bio HD, Planet Green HD, Golf HD.... I think I saw Speed HD and Lifetime HD too. I also get alot channels in either 720p or 1080i, but I dont know what they are. I could not find the channels for any network channels yet....I did not have time to scan all the channels.

I wish they'd add Spike and E! in my area. I like the UFC PPV reruns they show on Spike, but we don't have it in HD yet.
