Who here gets TWC HD?
« on: October 23, 2009, 02:54:52 PM »
Hi there!

I'm new to the board, so sorry if this has already been answered!  I tried posting in a previous HD topic, and since no one has posted in a while, it asked if I was still sure I wanted to post.  I wasn't...   <_<

So, who here gets TWC HD?  I've lived in 3 separate cities now, and not one of the cable companies has carried the HD version.  I'd like to see the HD set in HD...

Thanks!
~ A

Hey Andrea! Well, I got to look at the board here and fortunately you are the first to ask. :)

Here in my area there is TWC HD, available on DirecTV, Dish Network, and on the only cable provider in the Imperial Valley, Time Warner. I do plan to get it very soon once I get a huge TV upgrade, and a job as well.

I have FiOS, and we have TWC HD. However, none of the Comcast systems in Pittsburgh carry the HD simulcast.

I don't (I wish) have TWC HD here for regular cable. Only DirecTV ( <_<) and Dish Network does.

Thanks, everyone!

I figured it was mainly available on a dish.  I've had Comcast, Cox and now Bright House, and none of them offered TWC in HD!   :dunno:  I guess the cable providers don't think it's in their best interest?

Thanks very much!

I have HD on Dish here in KY. One of the features that is on the standard feed is the option to press the "select" button on the remote and have instant access to the local forecast. I wish that was on the HD feed as well. Is that option wide spread?

So far my area Fall River, MA does not have it on my  Comcast Headend, but it is announced to be added in March 2010.

Hopefully by the time the HD Star is rolled out

According to Tyler, the HD Star was delayed, and it may be another year before it's rolled out :/

Mine at often times will cue 1 or 2 seconds early. :yes:

Finally got it on this past Monday the 21st......it's beautiful! I may have faded out of the TWC picture, but TWC HD looks a lot better than I imagined it would.
