The new HD channels that Cox promised us earlier this month arrived yesterday and for the most part, they look pretty good.
All 12 channels that were originally announced via some tiny copy blocks in the local newspapers (and then by EngadgetHD), were sitting there waiting for me when I skeptically clicked the GUIDE button last night.
As promised, we now have Food HD, Travel Channel HD, Animal Planet HD, CNN HD, TBS HD, TLC HD, Science HD, Discovery HD and HGTV HD.
Most of the channels look great except for HGTV HD which looks awful due to the fact that it has been stretched out to appear as though it’s in widescreen.
For those who subscribe to the Sports & Information tier, you can now enjoy NFL Network HD and Versus / Golf HD. Also, for those of you who enjoy a little late night butts-n-boobies, Cinemax HD is waiting for you…in a silk robe…with a bowl of strawberries…and melted chocolate…and beautifully feathered hair.

About time. Nothing like making us wait until the end of the month before they turn it on.

Where’s my SciFi HD, damnit! All I want is to watch Battlestar Galactica in HD.

I agree with JTrain. Bring on Battlestar Galactica in High Def. Nerd up!
