Time-Warner Cable will no longer carry Mark Cuban's HD Net, which broadcast Ring of Honor, beginning on or around May 31 in the New York City area.

There had been talk of the cable provider pulling the channel its lineup a few months ago, but those plans were temporarily but on the back burner as talks between Time Warner and HD Net progressed.

SNL Kagan data also indicates that cable penetration of homes passed peaked at 65.5% in 1998. As of yearend 2006, cable subscriptions stood at 65.4 million, or 58.4% of 111.9 million homes passed, according to the data. Due to two recent quarters of declining cable subscriptions, this figure is likely to drop further by the end of 2007, SNL Kagan said.”

HDTV (High Definition Television)
is here today, and it’s FREE!

See the Public Service Announcement

Don’t be misled…
you don’t have to use a pay service to have “High Definition Television” (HDTV)

According to two recent studies, HDTVs are now in about one-third of all homes, making it increasingly important for pay TV operators to deploy a strong high-definition offering if they wish to retain current customers. And the Consumer Electronics Association predicts that some 27.7 million new HD sets will be sold in 2009.

I rarely watch anything not HD.

And there aren’t that many choices yet in my area.

Maybe Mark Cuban can start throwing insults at the president of Time warner, then apologize for it on his blog.

You know you're an "HD bigot" when you watch "Sunrise Earth" over breakfast every morning. (Guilty as charged!)
