Blue Ridge Communications revamps HD lineup

Blue Ridge Communications, a mom 'n pop-style cable carrier (similar to North Carolina's ATMC Cable) that serves much of the Poconos area and central Pennsylvania, is getting set to make even the big boys look bad with its forthcoming HD rollout. Beginning on Monday, users in the Lehighton / Stroudsburg area will be treated to PBS HD (606), QVC HD (605), Discovery HD (670), Science HD (672), TLC HD (674), Planet Green HD (675) and NHL HD (641), and MLB HD is listed as "Coming in January 2009." Good showing, BRC! [Warning: PDF read link]

...and meanwhile, megacorp Comcast with their billions in revenue compresses their HD signals so badly that they look like low-quality DVD releases. Hey, Blue Ridge! How about coming down to the Harrisburg area?

I fail to see that in Harrisburg.

Yes well, these are the same creeps that have a 50Gb download cap. I went to slower DSL instead of deal with it. I wouldn't give them a cent for TV service, switched to DirecTV
