Read it again. That's for DVR services. Just like TiVo charges $12.95 for DVR service, Time Warner charges $10.00 per month for DVR service. DVR is not HD and DVR Service is not hardware.

If you have a standard HD receiver you don't pay the $10.
in this area it's 16$ permonth for HD DVR
here its 18 a month then the fees to make it work are extra then the cableco slush fund fee[aka gateway fee]

It's free HD programming genius, not hardware.
Not just "hardware". Its $5.50/month for the Digital receiver (or $6.50/month HD DVR) and remote, plus $10.00 service fee per month.

The thing is, TWC's main cable pricing ads I've seen (mailers and online) only states "Free HDTV Local Channels" -- there's no "*" thereafter to indicate anything additional is required. Hence by TWC's ads I can see why people would be think that the "Free HDTV Local Channels" would be free.

Only until you get deeper into the cable pricing you'll see the additional costs to get the "Free HDTV Local Channels":
