More HD Channels, Same Sucky Service

by The Editors on April 4, 2008

Time Warner Cable2Time Warner Cable apparently announced today that we’ll be getting six new high definition channels in our lineup starting Tuesday April 8. While we’d be much happier with “OnDemand” that functioned (though after calling four times and having the box replaced twice we’ve pretty much given up on that), more HD is always good.

The new channels include: CNN HD, channel 726; Discovery HD, channel 743; Animal Planet HD, channel 764; Food Network HD, channel 751; HGTV HD, channel 753 and The Learning Channel HD, channel 755.

“By increasing our HD channel offerings, Time Warner Cable ensures customers can get the most out of their HDTVs and watch what they want, when they want, in HD,” Marc Farrar, vice president of public affairs for TWC’s San Diego division, said in a statement.

We don’t know about the most, Marc, but we’ll definitely have six more channels. Thanks.

Dear Editors,
Thanks for posting oortions of our news release, I’m glad you’ll enjoy the additional HD networks. However, I regret that you are having problems with our On Demand service. If you’d provide me with a name and address I’ll be happy to have someone take a look into it and see what we can do to resolve it.

Meanwhile, I need to request that you remove the altered logo and tagline from your website. As a trademarked company logo it is innappropriate to use it without prior approval and is equally inappropriate to display the logo in an altered form.

I look forward to hearing from you so we can try to resolve the On Demand issue.
Thanks,
Marc Farrar
