Comcast provides several HD channels but you’ll only see HD if the program is available in HD and the station / service provider are broadcasting the program in HD (720p or 1080i/1080p)…

If you’re seeing black on the left and right of the picture on an HD channel, the program is either not available in HD or the service provider is not broadcasting the program in HD.
