    Has anyone had any luck getting the HBO HD channel? I know Adelphia doesn't offer it, or much else HD for that matter. We are thinking of getting satellite to boost our HD programming, but wanted to make sure we got the HBO HD channel. Any recommendations/experiences would be much appreciated.

    HD HBO is available on DISH (and I imagine DirectTV), along with one channel each of HD Discovery, HD Movie Channel, HD Showtime, HD ESPN, HDNet, and HD Pay-per-View. The locals are not HD thru DISH, so you need an outside or attic antenna for those. Of course the locals are only HD for certain network programs and not all programs are HD.

    Same HD choices for DirecTV. If you're interested in an all-hd satellite service to compliment your existing service, check out http://www.voom.com

    According to their website, here is a list of what Adelphia is currently broadcasting in HD:

    704 WRC HD WRC High Definition Broadcast HD (High Definition)
    709 WUSA HD WUSA High Definition Broadcast HD (High Definition)
    750 HD HBO High Definition HBO HBO HD (High Definition)
    751 HD SHOWTIME High Definition Showtime Showtime HD (High Definition)
    752 HD STARZ Starz High Definition Starz HD (High Definition)
    (http://www.adelphia.net/cable_entertainment/channel_line_ups.cfm)

    Not sure if any more of the locals or other channels have been added. Anyone with Adelphia HD out there?

    Adelphia's site is wrong. We currently have Adelphia and subscribe to HBO, but are unable to receive the HBO HD channel. We've called Adelphia and they tell us that it is "not yet available in our area."

    Thanks for your advice, everyone. We decided to go with DISH and will have it installed next week. I will let you know how everything turns out.
