Seattle Comcast customers get a half dozen new HD channels

Great news for HD junkies in the great city of Seattle, Washington -- Comcast is getting set to add six newcomers to your lineup in just under a month. Reportedly, users are beginning to see messages on their set-top-boxes informing them that Discovery Channel HD, Animal Planet HD, TLC HD, Sci Fi HD, HGTV HD and Food Network HD will be arriving on March 4th. Ten new high-definition options in around three months? Sounds like just the thing to ease the sting of those heightened rates.

[Thanks, Gordon and Vince]

If only they'd pop out a software update to allow for an external hard drive... friggin' dvr isn't quite big enough for all that goodness.
