Cablevision's got Planet Green too
How do you add a new HD channel without adding a new channel? Simple, if you're Cablevision in New York. Just wait for Discovery to switch Discovery Home Channel to the new eco-focused Planet Green HD and new channel here we come. Either way, Time Warner customers aren't the only ones having all the green fun (if being a TWC customer can be called fun where you are) check channel 172 and the video on demand section for all the new programming.
Planet Green HD coming to San Antonio TWC customers
Time Warner Cable customers in San Antonio, TX will be treated to one more HD offering today when Planet Green HD comes into the homestead via the copper pipe. If your HDTV is going to gobble up electricity and also do battle with your air conditioner as it spills heat into your abode, the least you can do is take in some eco-lifestyle content. Consider it a kind of "awareness offset" to your carbon footprint, okay? That is, unless you've voted with your pocketbook and picked up a green TV; in which case you might want to truly minimize your footprint by turning it off altogether. Look for it on channel 140, and drink lightly from the 250 hours of content. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]
Planet Green HD headed to TWC's Brooklyn / Queens, NY lineup
Remember Discovery's latest HD channel, Planet Green? You know, that station formerly known as Discovery Home? Just a week after it goes live (in other words, tune in on June 11th with high hopes), Time Warner Cable is planning to launch it in the recently-stocked areas of Brooklyn and Queens, New York on slot 768. Per usual, the carrier's not saying when (of it) it'll filter out to other boroughs and / or the rest of the nation, but feel free to pop your NY zip code in the read link below to find out if any of the channel repositioning surrounding this addition will affect you.
