I kind of hope that it is. Our HD tier has no organization or
correlation with any other channel numbering whatsoever, and some
basic cable networks have as many as four different channel numbers
(two-digit analog SD, three-digit digital SD and HD on adjacent
channel numbers, four digit HD in the all-HD tier.) There are a number
of channels that I watch at least somewhat regularly (SyFy comes to
mind) where I have to look up what the HD channel number is every
time.
That's one thing TW NYC got right, at least to begin with. The HD
channels were the SD channels +700, so CBS 2, CBS HD 702, etc. But
they've added so many HD channels since then that the system
collapsed, and we have HD numbers all over the place.
The local Suddenlink HD lineup has several rhymes for reasons:
=The basic channels (4-18), Family package (3XX) +100
=Extended basic (23-79) +200
=Sports & information package (5XX) +50 (except NFL Red Zone, 598/99)
=HBO (66X), Showtime only -10
=Cinemax/TMC only -5
