Surfing the HD channels tonight and I found the following;
133 - RAPHD
155 - WCVBD
156 - WBZHD
159 - WGBHD

No signal yet on those stations but they show up.

Noticed that too.

Wondering if they are just testing them or will they be new HD channel additions.

I presently subscribe to the Complete HD package. Would there be additional fees to add those new channels?

I'm sorry I can't say for sure, sales and marketing are looking at that aspect.

I would suspect that "HD Complete" would include these channels, though we might expect a bump in our monthly fees. I for one couldn't care less about Raptors HD, Raptors SD or APTN HD, so hopefully not.

On a related note, I see that Shaw now has SpeedTV HD and TLC HD. Does Novus plan on adding these or any other HD channels in the near future (for example, The Score HD and CNN HD)?

I should have added -- what about HD PPV channels?

I for one, dont think anyone else cares what you think about RaptorsTV. Obviously, no one watches every single channel.

What is important though is Novus, being the last cable provider to be offering Raptors (everyone else has for a long time) stepped up.

Good job Novus! ;)

$2.95 more for the HD US Timeshift Channels.
ABC Detroit
NBC Detroit
FOX Detroit
CBS Detroit

I haven't seen pricing on Raptors HD.

Does not appear to be a charge for APTN HD
