I’ve been debating getting a new 46-50" hdtv, but with time warner’s hd channel selection I’m not sure if its worth it for me. I currently have a 32" sony vega, and its nice enough for a non-hd tv.
The thing is, I never watch any of the main network channels, espn, or basically any of the other channels they offer in hd, except for discovery hd. Basically I just watch history channel, discovery, national geographic, etc. I know all hd versions of all these channels exist, but as far as I can tell from tw’s website, they aren’t available, at least in the city.
Maybe I’m just missing something and these other HD channels can be paid for separately?
If not, do other providers offer a wider selection?
I dont really watch movies enough for them to be the sole reason for a better tv, nor do I want to watch shitty non-hd broadcasts on a larger screen, so… thoughts?
DirecTV has the best selection of HD channels around. If I were you and I was gonna buy a new HD TV I would be switching to DirecTV along with the purchase.
It cost verizon 3k to run FIOS to your door from the pole, it cost time warner about $300 for an aerial drop… How is verizon making their money back on that, time will tell I guess.
are dvrs are more expensive but hd service and channel selection from direct tv is far superior were to be launching 13 more hd channels this month and i think another 20 by january i dont have my hd dvr b i have 6 recievers with 2 standard dvrs and without my discount i pay a little more then you guys
Well, you get what you pay for there though. Have fun with you 8 or so Time Warner HD channels.
DirecTV has about 40 HD channels up and running right now. And will have over 100 by the end of the year. DirecTV>*
