Comcast throws in ten HD channels in Grand Rapids, Michigan

by Darren Murph Jan 12th 2009 @ 5:23AM

Grand Rapids just got eight high-def channels in mid-December, but already the cable carrier is adding ten more in order to keep the competition fierce between it and AT&T. As of now, locals can find Travel HD (183), MGM HD (216), Spike HD (HD), Nick HD (228), Toon Disney HD (238), Lifetime HD (239), Fuse HD (250), ESPN HD (257), IFC HD (260) and WE HD (261). Not bad Comcast, not bad at all.

Comcast adds eight HD channels in Grand Rapids, MI

by Darren Murph Dec 18th 2008 @ 5:47PM

What's up with this end-of-year glut of high-def channels? Seriously, it's like someone informed every cable carrier in America that it could get extra tax deductions if they hosted up a few more stations before the year's end -- not that we're complaining. Jason from Grand Rapids, Michigan has written in to inform us (and you) that eight new ones have arrived on his Comcast EPG. Biography HD (180), Planet Green HD (210), FOX News HD (214), Lifetime Movie Network HD (221), SPEED HD (223), FX HD (224), E! HD (225) and Cartoon Network HD (227) are all go for viewing, and all's that left for you to do is make it through the torrential snowstorms from work so you can actually watch 'em.

[Thanks, Jason]

AT&T talks Total Home DVR rollouts in seven new, not so new areas

by Richard Lawler Oct 14th 2008 @ 1:19PM


We already know you love AT&T's Total Home DVR service, but for whatever reason the company's been less than forthcoming about where and when its hitting across the country. Likely spurred on by our coverage (or maybe not) the latest press release breaks down the seven markets currently feeling the joy of multiple HD stream recording and sharing wash over them like rain, or a particularly refreshing soda. U-verse users in Atlanta, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Reno and Sacramento should all have access to the free software upgrade as of today. Press release is after the break, any areas still missing from the official count?

DISH Network gets official with summer / fall HD locals

by Darren Murph Jun 30th 2008 @ 3:30PM


Remember those 20-some-odd cities we heard were getting HD locals via DISH Network earlier this year? Yeah, the satcaster has just now gotten around to confirming what we already knew, but it's good to have something to hold 'em to, regardless. As of today, Grand Rapids, Michigan and Memphis, Tennessee can both look forward to seeing their local channels in high-definition, while 22 other markets are on the clock. As for timing, all we know is that these 22 will be launched sometime during summer / fall of 2008, but it looks like you'll be waiting patiently to find out if your market is closer to going live now or later.

West Michigan becomes latest region to get AT&T's U-verse

by Darren Murph Apr 22nd 2008 @ 1:40PM


Not quite three months after AT&T took U-verse to the Motor City comes word that more of Michigan can now tap the aforementioned company for phone, internet and fiber-based TV service. As of now, 40 local communities in West Michigan -- including Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Holland and Kalamazoo -- can call up the carrier in order to get U-verse in their home. The provider also notes that those who are just out of reach right now should keep checking in, as it plans to make the service available "to more homes throughout the area on an ongoing basis."
