HDNet is a VERY expensive channel for providers to carry. It is more than 10 times the cost of most HD channels and even far more than EPSN HD. That's saying a lot considering ESPN is traditionally one of the most expensive networks avaialble. It wouldn't surprise me if others start pulling HDNet unless they redo their pricing. Especially since bandwidth is limited for most cable systems and you can add several channels that people are also asking for at lower costs. The only one with a worse pricing scheme is INHD. I'm not a big fan of cable companies but in this case blame HDNet and their extreme pricing.

I hope Comcast doesn't get rid of INHD and INHD² - they are the only thing comparable to HDNet.
I really like their new MOJO lineup.
