TWC adding ESPNU HD / Planet Green HD in Greensboro, NC

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 10th 2008 at 7:18PM

One word Time Warner Cable: pathetic. Look, we're as stoked as we can be for our pals up in the Triad area of North Carolina -- after all, ESPNU HD and Planet Green HD are coming just months after a trio of others arrived -- but the lack of attention in the Triangle is sickening. While the Raleigh area limps along with an absolutely anemic HD lineup, Greensboro is being promised two more on Friday. The stations will be available on slots 570 and 559, respectively, and at least the former should provide plenty of entertainment as the football season really gets going.

As a TWC customer here in Raleigh, I have to agree that it sucks here. I hope it's not this bad everywhere. I constantly fight about bills, service screw-ups, etc. A little part of me holds out for hope knowing that our 8300HD(C)s are now SDV capable (used for the Olympics) and they can add channels anytime now. Come on Time Warner, I could handle some of the billing arguments if I knew I was getting 100+ HD channels!!!

It is horrible here in Raleigh. If I didn't live in an apartment that had satellite restrictions, I would be all about DirectTV right now. Used to live in Gboro where the HD selection was better if not good. Also, movie channels cost more in Raleigh than in Greensboro. So, I pay more money and get less service, thanks TWC.
