OT: BrightHouse Adding Three More HD Channels For Kids

Post #1 » by **Howard Mass** » Wed Jun 4, 2008 10:13 pm

BrightHouse is going to be rolling out 42 more HD channels by the end of 2009 but sadly none that any of us watch.

Were getting ABC Family, Disney and MGM Channel.

I would love them to add USA Network, FX, amongst a few others along with finally picking up FSN Florida and NFL Network.

Hopefully deals on those two will be reached too.

Besides those and GSN, what channels do you all want to see added?

Brighthouse is adding a new Power Forward to their lineup this year.

PF is for a moderator who passed away earlier this year.

I really hope Brighthouse adds NFL Network, it's so much better than NBA TV imo (I only watch nbatv for actual games, but i watch nfl network other than just games)

There are some other channels I cant think of off the top of my head...

Somehow, I just don't think it ever gets done.

Britehouse will add everything else that we could care less about, raise our rates another 5 bucks, and leave off FSN no matter what.

Jerks.

I knew that, but I thought he was asking about something in the article. Now I feel like a jackass......

Some Standard Def cable and digital cable channels we do not have.

FSN Florida
NFL Network
Game Show Network
TV Guide Network (We have it on Demand)
Boomerang (Retro Cartoons) We have a small selection on demand.
Chillertv (Horror channel like Sleuth is for crime)

All but TV Guide I really want.

Still, Brighthouse is a good company but do wish we had some of the channels they have on their system in Tampa like FSN and GSN.

Why don't you guys switch to satellite?

HOA? Condo? Apartment?

I got HD service from DirecTV about a week ago and am happy with it.

And don't call Disney Channel HD worthless. Hannah Montana in HD = win.

Comcast in Lake County does not have FSN Florida.

I live in a townhouse and can have Direct TV but we like BrightHouse.

Despite not carrying 1/2 Magic games and the various other issues?

Brighthouse is ok for a cable company but their programming selection is horrible compared to satellite. I recently switched to DirecTV HD and I love it. I never knew there were so many HD channels out there. I'm in HD heaven now plus I'll be getting all the Magic games next year.

I'm switching once baseball season is over, since I'd have to pay for a second Extra Innings subscription if I changed now.

Too many TV's.

Once the kids move out, so will Britehouse.

What's more important?

For now, just put the satellite receiver in the garage. ;-)

You can find piece watching the Magic in the garage.

Peace and Magic cannot exist in the same sentence.

Only words like anger, hate, frustration, nervous breakdown, etc can coexist with Magic.
