It would be nice if TWC would have added the HD version of BBC World News to all areas with SDV instead of just SD for areas outside of the Northeast and the Carolinas. It makes no sense to just add the SD version considering the areas that are getting the SD version are all SDV enabled areas anyway. TWC has been improving the SDV bandwidth in systems throughout the country that need it in systems that can make room for more SDV QAM carriers I know that these systems have 22 or 24 SDV QAMs based on looking at silicondust and seeing the same unencrypted subchannel bounce between different QAMs:

22 QAMs for SDV:
Central Texas
Southern California

24 QAMs for SDV:
Dallas Texas (includes surronding cities in North Texas)
Hawaii

I would love one day to see a standard channel line up across the company. The East is working towards that.

Wisconsin is moving more channels to require a cable box for them. And I think the new Sports Channels for my area are going to be launched on January 16th, if I remember from the notice. Yea, it's about 10-15 channels added to Sports Pass.

Hobs, a question, I have read for a long time that Sports Channels are the most expensive for TWC to get. With TWC looking to consolidate packages and Mr. Britt saying that niche channels might be dropped that aren't of value, I am surprised that these Sports stations because of cost are getting added. Can you comment on this?

PS. Wisconsin got Aspire, and SD versions of BBC World News and some other sports station who's name escapes me. No HD for BBC World News yet for Wisconsin.

I heard Chiller launched their HD station. That would be an interesting station to get in HD on TWC.
