Delta Cable announced today that it has doubled its High Definition (HD) TV line-up, offering customers more choice and value in television entertainment over its state-of-the-art fibre optic network.

Doubling the HD channel content brings Delta Cable’s total HD line-up to 60 with more of what customers want to meet their evolving entertainment needs.

“And we're not stopping there," said Wayne Rothenberger, Regional Manager. "In the months to come, we look forward to introducing our customers to even more HD and other exciting products and services to enrich their telecommunications and entertainment experience."

Delta Cable is committed to providing the fullest HD experience not only in terms of the number of HD channels but in the quality of the experience with vibrant colour via HD 1080i technology, full picture wide screen viewing, and the cinematic experience of Dolby Digital Surround Sound. As more homes adopt HDTVs, the demand for content is growing and Delta Cable is up to the challenge of meeting and even exceeding that demand.

• More HD Timeshift channels including: Sun TV HD, Omni Toronto HD, Global Toronto HD, PBS Buffalo, CBS Detroit,  Fox Detroit, NBC Detroit, SRC Toronto
