Question

I just got an hd cable box, and i was amazed by the hd picture. Unfortunately, there aren't enough hd channels. Don't get me wrong, i like the msg, espn, espn2, yes hd, but i want to know if more hd channels will be released.

Answer 2

Well, the problem with cable companies, (and even more of a problem with smaller cable companies like cablevision) is that it's rigorous work and VERY expensive for them to upgrade their networks to accomade for all the needed bandwidth for High Definition content. If you REALLY want to have lots of High def, switch to satellite. DirecTV is currently pushing almost 100 HD channels in all it's crystal clear pristine HD glory! If I'm correct, cablevision has maybe 20 max. The reason for the huge difference between cable is that it's simply easier for DirecTV to launch a new satellite to broaden it's bandwidth availability, than it is for cable companies to run more wiring and upgrade their infastructure. (Crazy that it's easier to launch a satellite than run more wires, huh?) You may want to contact cablevision to see if they have a schedule of releasing new HD channels, but don't hold your breath. Hope this helps.
