The percentage of returned gadgets that have nothing wrong with them.
Of the $13.8 billion worth of returned products in 2007, only 5 percent were because gadgets were actually broken, according to a 2008 study.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
By the way, I'm the person that sent this in. NFL-HD will be dropped from our lineup on 3/25 to make room for SNY-HD. The system is completely maxed out at the moment because last month they added another downstream HSI channel and another VOD channel, taking up the remaining 2 QAM's that were empty. SNY-HD will be on channel 198.
Any other questions feel free to contact me.
What parts of NJ would get this update?
I'm in Middlesex county and would love to see more HD channels added to my lineup.
email me at yankeesr23@aol.com
I hope that TWCNYC gets the scifi/usa HD pretty soon!!!! that would be awesome!
This is great news. I'm in Iselin NJ and have been waiting a while for these additions. Can you email any more info to me? mdecillis@comcast.net
What would you like to know? I'm from the same town as you (and an email sent to you so you have my email address now).
Wewt! Sci-Fi HD!
Battlestar Galactica season 4 in HD here we come. :)
(Six week late, but better than nothing).
I'm really running out of patience with Comcast at this point. Continue to screw Philly over by not giving us USA and Sci-Fi just like every other market is getting. Just awesome work! Please Verizon please help me!
Come on COMCAST customers! Demand they add HDNet and HDNet Movies. Far and away better than the stretch-o-vision crap channels Comcast has BEEN adding all across the country.
Do any of these Northern or Southern Jersey additions apply to the Trenton/Ewing area? We seem to be the only ones never mentioned.
I want to clarify for this forum that Comcast has no immediate HD channel additions or changes to announce at this time for customers in the Union, Plainfield, Jersey City or Meadowlands areas. The picture posted in this forum was an internal planning document that was inadvertently posted in one of our service centers, and we apologize for any confusion it caused. We have already added hundreds of HD choices this year, and look forward to adding more high definition programming in NJ throughout the year. By end of 2008, you can look forward to having more than 1,000 HD movies and TV shows available every month, as well as the most popular HD television networks. We’ll continue to keep our customers directly apprised as we add new channels, choices and other digital offerings.

May 15th came and went and no signs of the aforementioned HD channels in the lineup. I guess the post by Ms. Black was not a joke. I surmise Jersey City has by far the worst HD lineup in the nation, in terms of population density-HD channel ratio.
Well looks like this didn't happen. The longer this goes on without me getting SciFi HD the more likely I am to switch to another carrier. I've been with comcast for over 10 years but that doesn't mean i'm going to stay if they can't get me the HD content I want.
