Where Is HD? adds HD-ready channels to listings

Your favorite HD locator has been updated yet again, barely a week after colored genres and printouts appeared. This time, the refresh brings in HD-ready channels, which are networks that do not currently produce any bona fide HD content, yet are apt to make the switch in short order. For example, here in the frigid town of Barrow, Alaska, we see that 5 StarMAX and Independent Film Channel HD are both being included for the 99723 zip code as HD-ready. On a related note, a listing of HD News is now available for those fervently checking their listings on a daily basis.

For some reason they no longer list cable lineups.

No U-verse either.

Right, why did they remove the cable providers? They were there last week. I don't know if it's across the board, but they don't have mine (Cox) in my area (RI). I wonder if it's because they asked to be removed. In my area, DirecTV has 3x Cox's HD offerings, and Dish has 2x.

Yeah it's pathetic. They've added one channel so far this year, the travel channel. Last year, every day I'd come home from work and check to see if there were any new HD channels, they were adding them that regularly. This year, which is almost half over, one channel? I don't care about their network bandwidth issues, they aren't keeping up with their competition. The time to drop Cox is very near for me.
