SureWest Communications HDTV service is out of beta and adding even more content, with at least 38 channels expected by the end of the year. Currently numbering 26, SureWest most recently added A&E, Fox Business Channel and the History Channel to its HD Life package, with other like TBS, USA Network and CNN coming soon. With "virtually unlimited" capacity on their FTTH network, the company claims it can keep adding channels in MPEG-2 without sacrificing picture quality. We're sure the Sacramento-area residents with access appreciate the effort.
Great, I live in the Sacramento area and just gave up Surewest TV after two years to go with DirectTv. I still have their phone and internet service, but I'll have to wait two years until I can go back. Oh well. Too bad they did not offer more HD channels before I gave them up.
DirecTV is still going to have more HD channels than them, so I don't know what you're worried about.
Yeah, and Surewest had no HD DVR and I think they still don't.
