Most of the channels listed are sports channels, no interest to me.
QVC? Oh, yeah, can't wait for that.
What about F/X? Why is that one not listed when much of NJ has it already?
It is listed. Channel 824.

| This must be a New Jersey problem, people can not read these charts, just earlier this week 2 other people from 2 other systems complained about not seeing FX HD and i had to tell them it is on channel 824 in their respectful individual threads!! It will be on channel 824 on every system in our area sooner or later!!! and i have to track 8 charts!!! |

said by sansri88  :Our site is now up. » www.comcastworldofmore.com/union/It's actually 38 HD channels being added since we already got HD PPV, NBA HD and NFLRD HD, and the HD On Demand link doesn't count. That would put us at 80 HD channels (42 currently). We would still have a decent amount of room though, so it looks like the second wave could be bigger. Note: The limited basic HD channels (current ones that are moving and new ones being added) are going to be added on or about 10/28. sure, the 1 day I don't go obsesively looking for this news, here it is. I'll have to go through later and make a list of what I want next besides the premium movie channels. |

Hey bal, Comcast of Central NJ 1 was the cable system migrated after Union and Meadlowlands, but per rumors (from certain sources here) had still to much analog to go first, so Meadlowlands got push up a week, and then Union over the next 2 weeks, (Union still needs 3 QAM spots to get those other 9 HD) and (some areas need additional 3 QAM for areas that still do not have Doscis 3) and then the guys over Central NJ 1 should get their notice, rumors are saying you too have more analog then the other systems and the same thing could happen to your system as well, Comcast usually does the Easy systems first and takes their time on the more difficult system later, (Union was always a very painful system) they do the same thing here in PA also!!! So it would be wonderful to know how many analogs would you have left if you lost all your expanded basic!! if you have less than 20 you are totally good, if 20 to 25, a little delay to about now, if more than 25 your going to be doing what Union is doing now, if more than 30 like in Reading or your sister System feeds from them also like Pottsville your Next Year!! |

now I have a question, not necessarily about the changes or new lineup, but sort of. the lineup lists WLIW HD and WNJN HD, with WNJN HD as being "new". We currently have a Digital version of each of those channels (I guess you'd call them DT-1), but they aren't in HD. does this mean that we'll be getting them switched over to a real HD feed, or is it just a misleading name for what we already have? |

said by sansri88 :I think in the short term the locals are going to be mapped in the 200s and 800s. FWIW here are some of the channels we *aren't* getting in the first round of adds: 816 HLN HD 834 Style HD 836 WE tv HD 841 truTV HD 865 TV One HD 867 G4 HD 885 Fuse HD 890 TCM HD 893 IFC HD Of those 9 channels listed, I only really would want IFC and TCM. Don't really care about those other ones. I wonder what our next batch will look like. You don't care for G4 in HD? I am somewhat surprised, I thought you were a computer geek

you arent alone cypher. I've always said the pittsburgh regions is always left behind. At this rate it will be 2012 before my area sees all of the channels everyone else is getting.
I know why too. Because all of the seniors in this area go complain to their elected officials everytime they remove a channel because "i can't beleive you are making me get a digital box now and i gotta pay more to receive that channel."
So comcast says, ok you want analog still now you don't get any new channels. So we are stuck in the stone ages because the older people don't want digital boxes. Go figure. |

Hey jjefferson. Thanks for some of the heads up. Since you seem to have the "heads up" on stuff, do you have any idea when the "world of more" will come to the Jersey Shore[Ocean County system]? seems the 800 channels are all set with just NFLRZ[861], TCNHD[856] and the searchlight channel in use. Thanks |

If you go to the link in the original post, F/X HD is not listed. It is only when you click on the "print the new channel lineup" that all the new channels are listed. |

I was so ready to switch to FIOs last year but my complex is like the last area in Scotch Plains to get hooked up. Now, with all this, I am going to be hard pressed to make any switch since now Comcast has all the channels I want in HD and has MSG and SNY in HD as well which Verizon does not.
Right in time for UFC 105: Couture Vs Vera (Nov 14) on Spike too! I was hoping it would get added in time for that one. |

hey bal, guess what your area of Central New Jersey 1 at least now has there PDF list, as i said it would be available earlier this week, and just like i said earlier, they will also do what there are doing in Union system by adding the Basic HD first, the only difference is that Central New Jersey 1 does have less analog than the Union system so they will be getting those 9 HD channels also, that will not be on in Union system yet!!!, the only real difference is that there area (Central New Jersey 1) coverage is split between two regional broadcast zones, so one group of Broadcast channels for 1 group and different ones for the 2nd group, so now the trio of Union, Meadowland and Central New Jersey 1 are or will be done Phase 3 very shortly, and then they will start planning (Phase 4-which would be Premium channel in HD's but because some areas really have too many broadcast networks this phase will not be based on first come, first served basics but on individual system available bandwidth , which means for the people in Union, even non-broad casted limited basic channels will need to be Migrated, so you might want to start bitching again!!!
here is the link!! to the overall main page then click to read the PDF!!

it looks like they set up the local channels (just the ones we already have) in their new positions today instead of tomorrow. |
