We saw this in the paper a few weeks ago and have been meaning to get around to informing the 4 of you who might actually care but sorta gave up after about 2 minutes.

This morning we noticed that Engadget HD officially posted about it and now we feel like we should do the same since a) it’s Monday and we’re desperately trying not to start working yet and b) there is no “b.”

According to somebody named Dwight who lives around here, a letter was sent out to Cox HD customers (all 11 of them, sans us) explaining that NW Arkansas would be receiving a dozen new HD channels sometime this month including: Versus / Golf HD, Food HD, Travel Channel HD, Cinemax HD, Animal Planet HD, Science HD, CNN HD, TBS HD, TLC HD, Discovery HD, HGTV HD and NFL Network HD.

Of course, you’ll have to be a Skinemax subscriber to get your HD soft porn-on and we assume you’ll need the Sports & Information tier if you wanna see NFL Network in HD but still, this is good news since we’re currently sitting around with only about 15 HD channels as it is while the satellite providers are seemingly competing to see who can get to the 100 mark first.

PS- If you’ve been waiting for HD TVs to get a little less expensive before taking the plunge, next month might be your chance to get a nice Sony for “stupid cheap”.
