Comcast Tracy Expands HDTV Programming

Frustrated with the lack of HD programming from Comcast in Tracy, CA, I had been looking at DirecTV and DISH and was nearing a decision to move.

As luck may have it, last night, Comcast has turned on (at least for now) SIX brand new HDTV options. Since several of them are very good choices, I will keep my service.

Here is the current list of programming options in HD:

903--KCRA NBC
904--KQCA My58
906--KVIE PBS
908--KTXL Fox
910--KXTV ABC
912--KMAX CW31 (NEW)
913--KOVR CBS
914--HGTV (NEW)
915--NGEO (NEW--National Geographic)
916--THC (NEW--The History Channel)
917--NFL (Need to pay extra)
918--A&E (NEW)
919--INHD
920--FSN (Bay Area sports, mostly blue screen logo)
921--VSGLF (Golf and other sports)
922--Discovery HD Theater
923--ESPN
924--ESPN2
926--TNT
927--UHD (Universal)
928--MTVHD
930-HBO (Need to pay extra)
932--MXHDW (Need to pay extra)
934--S-HDW (Need to pay extra)
936--SHO HD (Need to pay extra)
937--USA HD
938--TDC (NEW-The Discovery Channel)

Hopefully they will continue to fill out the HD programming options.
