Comcast silently rolled out three new HD channels in the Seattle/Tacoma area last night. The new channels are:

• Disney HD
• ABC Family HD
• Science Channel HD

Unfortunately, Comcast has started re-encoding HD channels to squeeze three channels to a single QAM, and picture quality is very noticeably degraded on several channels, as I’ve reported before. Channels with poor picture/sound include:

• Discovery Channel HD
• USA HD
• SciFi HD
• Universal HD (only for certain content)
• MHD (only for certain content)
