So I was watching National Geographic channel last night and I noticed the "Available in HD" logo pops up whenever a new show starts. These shows however are not transmitted in HD on Time Warner cable. Can someone who also uses Time Warner confirm that they aren't getting NG in HD? What must be done to start getting it in HD?

 

I have TW and can verify that they do not carry National Geographic HD at this time.

Keep in mind that the channel you're currently watching wouldn't be in HD anyway, even if they did carry it. The HD channel would be a different channel... just like how you have regular Discovery, and Discovery HD Theater on two totally different channels...

 

I see, thanks. It's a shame that TW has such a limited number of HD channels and I haven't seen any indications that they will provide more HD programming in the near future...

 

Well I'm in NC using TW, so not sure what lineup they have in NY... but I'm getting 15 channels in HD, plus all of the premium channels offer HD (HBO, Showtime, etc). The only two we don't get that I wish we did were ESPN2-HD and National Geographic HD. Other then that they offer as many, if not 1 or 2 more then I was getting with Cablevision in NY...
