Hot enough for you, New England? If you've been scrounging for any reason whatsoever to remain indoors, take a listen at this. The latest Cox New England newsletter has informed its recipients that USA HD, Bravo HD, SciFi HD and AMC HD are on the way (along with one other), and our tipster in Rhode Island was able to confirm. Additionally, CNBC HD was mentioned in the pamphlet, so we'd cautiously assume that it too will surface in the near future. Sadly, no launch dates were given for any of the stations.
[Thanks, Allan]
Update: RI can
expect these on June 18th; CT / MA will have them June 25th. Thanks everyone!

the Pamphlet said they will start on June 18.
I'm speachless.
Finally! SciFi HD!!
Just in time to see Atlantis new season start up in July and the 2nd half, final season of Battlestar!
ya, ya..., I'm so speechless, I can't even spell speechless properly
They advertise 6 new HD channels, but list 5. I wonder if there is a sixth of if the ad is wrong. I've had lifetime HD for a few weeks now though.
Yes, in the emails from Cox a few weeks ago they listed Lifetime HD, which had popped up a few days prior. Their HD quality is so poor now, it makes me wonder how much worse this will make it. I had out of state friends visiting Friday. At one point the RI local commercials were just too much to take so I flipped to the OTA for the Boston feed. They immediately said, "What did you do? It looks so much better!" Yeah...I wish FIOS would hurry up with their build out...
No kidding, anxiously awaiting FIOS myself. I can't wait to dump Cox.
Cox SciFi HD is LIVE in CT today!
