Fort Lauderdale (Oakland Park), FL. Comcast Clear (QAM and NTSC) Channels for HDTV’s

* I came across a problem - in using Comcast Cable TV [Basic Cable] with new Flat Panel HDTV’s. Comcast doesn’t publish the list of channels that you can tune directly from your shiny new TV. They only publish the channels as they work using their rented cable boxes (Set-Top Boxes.) I searched on the Internet and many people seem to want the same thing. So I decided to do the Fort Lauderdale (Oakland Park), Florida area. It takes a long time to do this… so I hope it’s helpful to someone else besides me.

I don’t like to have to surf around tons of channels trying to find something interesting. I want to know what channels I have - and how to punch them into my remote control directly. If I want to watch History Channel - I want to go directly to it. If I want to watch Discovery Channel - I want to go directly to it. I also want to to know what’s in High Definition (HD) and how to go directly to those channels - without having to suffer through the 480i resolution old-style NTSC channels - if I don’t have to. I did find out that some channels just aren’t in HD. I’m surprised they couldn’t do more of the other channels (USA, TNT, TBS, DISCOVERY, HISTORY, … etc.) in HD as well.

Anyway I have attached my list. And also a SHORT LIST that I made for myself. You might want to make your own SHORT LIST because you may not like mine.

Any corrections, information, or comments [thank you’s - invitations for dinner and beers - moneys you want to throw at me] please contact me. Email works for most things.
