In addition to 1,000 live HD choices, Comcast plans to offer 3,000 high-def movies every month.


January 08, 2008 | by Rachel Cericola

The king of all cable companies is about to rule the HD roost. Comcast just announced that they will deliver more than 1,000 high-def choices for 2008.

This HD lineup will include more than 1,000 live HD movies and TV shows—many of which will end up in the company’s On Demand offerings. Aside from live content, Comcast also plans to make 3,000 HD movies available each month via its On Demand service.

On Demand is the main component of the company’s Project Infinity, an initiative that will allow Comcast customers to truly watch TV on their own time. The project will put any TV show, movie or any other user-generated content (via Fancast.com) up for On Demand.

The On Demand service currently has more than 10,000 selections available each month. Project Infinity will take advantage of the company’s “existing fiber network and national IP backbone.”


I don't get Comcast, but it looks like they set the bar high here. Hopefully my provider will follow suit.

I hope all cable providers follow this, the provider I use has 5 HD channels right now

what is funny about cable is that they now provide telephone service, becoming an all-n-one package . Phone companies have been fighting this and also fighting to provide television but I believe it might be a losing battle


what I don't like is that I got a letter stating that my cable is going to go up ......... thxs assholes

Cable (Time Warner) Is a joke right now when it comes to HD. One can hope they change this soon.

Wow, that must've taken a massive investment considering their installed base. I'm involved in a project to replace regular IPTV streams with HD streams, and while the company I work for has a relatively limited mid-five figure customer base, our on-demand services are massively expensive setups. Multicasting IPTV is relatively simple and not very bandwidth intensive, but while a normal MPEG-4 encoded stream usually sits at around 5Mbps, an HD stream is up around 25Mbps, and doing all that on demand to a customer base of many million is pretty mind-boggling.
