High Definition Channels on Comcast

High-Definition and Digital Television has arrived and before you know it, it is all we'll know here in the United States. When trying to figure out which channels are available through the local cable provider, an online chat to the service department was need; however it got me nowhere. I just wanted a simple thing: a list of all the channels available with the HDTV in my office. We spent 15-20 minutes going round and round trying to get a listing of the channels. The customer service representive tried with various lists, but not one was comprehenive. All I wanted was a "complete" listing of all the channels (including the Standard-Definition, High-Definition AND the various radio/music channels).

So after the online chat ended, I decided to spend an hour or two creating my own list. Here it is:
