Time Warner Cable brings Discovery suite to Albany, New York

by Darren Murph Mar 21st 2008 @ 9:28PM

Just days after Time Warner Cable gifted Rochester-area citizens with the Discovery suite of HD channels, an eagle-eyed reader located in Albany has noticed that those very channels have also joined their lineup. Effective immediately, those located in and around the capital of the great state of New York can check out Science Channel HD (1825), Animal Planet HD (1835), Discovery Channel HD (1836) and TLC HD (1844). At this point, we're wondering if TWC will ever provide a noticeable boost to the ridiculously deprived Manhattan EPG, but three cheers for Albany, regardless.

Manhattan will not see any significant increase in HD selection until SDV is deployed in the borough. The huge density of large MDUs and commercial customers pretty much negates TWCs ability to drop analog channels in the borough, so the only way they can free up capacity for more HD in the short term is by deploying SDV.
