When Time Warner Cable dropped its HD bombshell on New York and New Jersey earlier this month, we were told that the whole gang of newcomers would filter over to the Hudson Valley region later in the year. Judging by an update on the carrier's site, a small portion of those will be joining the EPG in the aforementioned area in just weeks. Effective April 30th, users in and around Kingston, Middletown, Newburgh, and Poughkeepsie can expect to see Food Network HD (736), Fox Business News HD (758), Hallmark Movie Channel HD (784), HGTV HD (763), Versus / Golf HD (773) and Travel Channel HD (780). Just a day later, Fox News HD will be arriving on slot 762. Sure, it's nowhere near 50, but it's a solid start. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]
Any idea when TWC is going to add more hd channels in Los Angeles.

Hey Time Warner, there's competition coming to Green Bay too. Why not spread some of that joy out here. Maybe I'd actually consider sticking with you instead of bailing to U-Verse the minute it's available.
