Yeah, and the biggest question is what sort of magic are they gonna attempt to do to the HD signal in order to get all those channels to fit in their bandwidth?

They've already shown that they've got no problem using every trick in the book. Rate shaping, downrezzing, recompressing, whatever else they can figure out. They're the kings of "HD Lite".

I doubt I would bother switching back to them, no matter how many "HD" channels they carry.

I've tried all those methods to lose weight. Alas, I am still round.
