Time Warner Cable adds new HD offerings in Albany, New York

Hot on the heels of reports claiming that Time Warner Cable (partly owned by Time Warner, parent company of AOL, which owns Engadget) added six new HD channels in Maine comes a note that eight new offerings have emerged in New York's capital city. Reportedly, residents of Albany can now kick back and enjoy programming on History Channel HD, CNN HD, HGTV HD, The Weather Channel HD, Food Network HD, Golf Channel HD, National Geographic HD and Outdoor HD. Of note, our tipster mentioned that he had to reboot his HD DVR in order to actually receive the newcomers, so give that a go if you're running into issues viewing the aforementioned channels.

[Thanks, Daniel S.]

Man I hope this doesn't mean with the box only, because it sucked when they moved HBO to HD only and a TV with an HD tuner can't pick it up

And they're SDV so no love for CableCard users like us TiVo S3/HD folks. Bastards.

Milwaukee has HGTV in HD, though I'm not sure how recently it was added. I don't recall seeing any of the other ones and I'm not at home right now to check either.

even the TWC regions right next to albany aren't getting anything new, but thats the twc way, have completely different lineups in adjoining areas :rolleyes:

TWC has been quietly adding HD channels in New York City as well (parts of Queens, at least). I haven't seen or heard a single announcement from them, but TBS, Nat Geo, A&E, History Channel, Golf, Music HD, HGTV, Food Network, the Movie Channel, and -- get this -- Lifetime Movie Channel have all come online in the last few weeks.

@TOM: That's simply not true. I looked at the link you sent and checked my box. I live in Manhattan, not in Queens and I don't have any of those HD channels except TBS, which is probalby the worst HD picture of the group. Where did you get this information from? Do you have a legit link?
