More than 35 new HD channels are going to be available on the Bright House Networks cable system by the end of the year. Company president Buz Nesbit said its the first push by Bright House to bulk up its HD lineup on the way to providing 100 new HD channels by early 2010. Most of the new HD channels will be available to Bright House digital subscribers at no charge.

Bright House is also getting ready to launch Start Over, a feature that lets viewers retart, pause and rewind certain shows if they tune to that show at any time — basically, it lets you go back and catch the beginning of a show you missed.
