QAM and Comcast
When I first became aware of QAM, I connected my HDTV to see what I could get. I was surprised to find some channels available in HD that I didn’t receive OTA. For example, I was getting USAHD, TBSHD, TNTHD, ESPN2HD and Music in HD. For local networks, I received all but PBS in HD. Comcast has since shifted the channels 3 or 4 times and removed all HD channels except NBC. I’d like to know if there is a rhyme or reason to their QAM programming or if it is just considered leakage? It certainly is good to know that Comcast could offer a full HD package without renting a cable box. BUT that wouldn’t make them money, would it? I’d be happy of they just offered a standalone HD package like Dish Network’s TurboHD.
