Who do I bug to get more HD on my TV?
I currently have Charter Cable & have had their HD service for a little over a year. When I started they were only carrying HBO-HD & Showtime-HD. They added Discovery Channel HD back around the first of the year but dammit...I want more!
I currently use a receiver & antenna to get HD off the airwaves (but unfortunately ABC nor FOX broadcasts in HD in my area).
Now ESPN-HD is here along with some others I keep seeing...HDNET, INHD, & USA.
Who do I have to keep bugging to get these at Charter? I was hoping that they would have jumped on ESPN-HD right off but now I am missing what little college football games they are showing on ESPN-HD.
I am currently calling Charter once a week & if anyone else is interested in getting these, please call as well. I know some of you might mention getting DISH or DIRECT but I did checked the cost and it would not be beneficial for me to switch right now (unless the satellite people would do a special deal on HD like they do sport packages. I am surprised they have not done this yet.)
Also, is anyone using their cable companies to get the major networks in HD?

When does ESPN actually broadcast a game in HD?
I was watching a game onESPNHD and it looked just as
bad as the regular ESPN. Will there be some sort
of announcement? If all ESPN is doing is upconverting, then
that pretty much stinks.

Neitzl...check www.titantv.com for the ESPN-HD schedule. So far it has only been about one or two games a day. Some days there is nothing. It looks like it runs like the networks where only certain things (right now) are broadcast in HD.
Joels - I would call Direct (and have before) but the cost to get an HD receiver & programming costs would actually put me much more in the hole. I wish they would do a HD special.
