What HD Channels do you get and with who?
I have comcast and the HD Channels I get are :
ESPN
ABC
CBS
PBS
INHD 1
INHD 2
Starz
HBO
Cinemax
Showtime
That is all they offer, should I be ticked ? It just doesn't seem like a lot. I know about Voom, but I have my internet through comcast too.

My local cable provider, Charter, only has a few channels here in Greenville, SC -- an NBC affiliate, HDNet Movies, HDNet, ESPN HD, HBO HD, and Showtime HD.
I've been eyeing Voom, more for their "Monsters" channel than anything else. I was looking at their lineup one week, and in the space of a few days, they were showing Night of the Demons, Troll 2, and The Gate. On Sunday, The Hills Have Eyes, Madman, My Bloody Valentine, The Burning, and Slumber Party Massacre are airing. If they had hired me to program the channel, it probably wouldn't be much different.

DirecTV here as well (TNT-HD should be added in due course). As far as OTA: only ABC, CBS, and PBS actually broadcast HD in my area. UPN and Fox are both supposed to be up to speed by September.
Edit to add: just read that DirecTV signed with BravoHD as well. (Hopefully to air in time for the olympics )

I don't understand why Comcast offers different channels. I don't get NBC. On their website it says they offer Fox too, just not in my area. Why is that ?

I think they offer SHOW and such, but I only get HBO. $10 more a month for these. (Guess it includes the box and remote.)
