North Texas finally getting TWC newcomers, even more HD soon

Remember those 11 high-def channels that Time Warner Cable owes North Texas? According to a report in the Dallas News, they'll be delivered by November 20th. In related news, the article also casually mentions that a full 17 to 19 even fresher HD channels will be unveiled "across the region" before the year's end. It's difficult to decipher whether that's to mean "the North Texas region" or "all of TWC's Texas markets," but if history is any indicator, we'd say the Dallas / San Antonio areas should be very well taken care of.

The "North Texas area" refers to the area surrounding the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex. Probably includes around 25+ counties, but not San Antonio.

The article states they don't charge extra for HD receivers. While they don't charge for HD channels the HD receivers all are dvr's which they charge 10 bucks a month for.

I was the "Joe" that sent that in. The Dallas Morning News article does say by the 20th for those older channels that the rest of the metroplex got. The additional HD channels referred to by the article are these:

espnu
espn news
disney
abc family

lifetime movie network
