Now that
thousands more Hawaiians are rocking HD DVRs from Oceanic Time Warner Cable (partly owned by Time Warner, parent company of AOL, which owns Engadget), we'd surmise that the cries for more HD offerings is getting nothing but louder. Thankfully, Oceanic TWC and KGMB-9 just finalized an agreement that brought the last local channel to its lineup in HD, just in time for all the NFL playoff action. Furthermore, Oceanic president Nate Smith implied that "as many as 20" more high-definition options could be available to islanders before 2009 dawns.
Are these the guys responsible for Oceanic Flight 815's crash on LOST?
Ha! Good one. Hooray for CBS in HD!
Unfortunately Oceanic's also gone to SDV and told cablecard users they can't purchase the HD package. Monopoly weasels.
