Bright House Networks adds a half dozen HD channels in Birmingham, AL

No sooner did Time Warner Cable toss in six new high-def stations in Wetumpka than Bright House Networks has matched it up in Birmingham. With the threat of AT&T's U-verse hanging over the existing cable carriers, BHN has apparently seen fit to add in Discovery HD (659), TLC HD (666), National Geographic HD (667), Food HD (668), HGTV HD (669) and MGM HD (684). Alright TWC, ball's in your court once again.

[Thanks, Andrew]

Here in central Florida we've had these channels for a couple of months. I've generally been happy with BHN, but I am seriously considering going to DirectTV or Dish Network because BHN refuses to get Fox Sports Net or Sun Sports in HD.

SUN Sports HD games are shown on channel 1000 (when they are available) in Central Florida.

Any additonal HD channels is always welcomed! Bright House will continue to add HD programming and channels throughout the year.
