My error! I meant to say TWC.

ESPNEWS, which I am getting now, says they have the HD version also available, but I can't find what channel it's on for TWC customers. Hence, why I asked if anyone else had TWC and watches ESPNEWS HD. :D

I just checked TitanTV and I can't find a listing for ESPNEWS HD on TWC in Charlotte so I would assume they don't carry it but they could be wrong. Where did you read that they do?

If you haven't seen it though it isn't anything special at least not imo but I hardly ever watch ESPN shows unless it's a game. Most of the extra screen space the 16:9 image provides on ESPNEWS HD is taken up by scrolling data.

ESPNEWS is always ad'ving it on their broadcasts, so I said if I am getting it with my cable package, might as well watch it.

And, yeah you're right, the HD channel has the scrolling bottom line taking up most of the screen, but I still enjoy the HD picture. :D

I guess it's personal preference.....

Oh ok. I got ya. Sorry it doesn't seem like they carry it. TWC here is always slow to pick up HD channels.

I haven't seen an HD feed yet. So far I've only seen SD video content with more room for the scrolls. However I've probably only watched it for about 30 minutes total so far since it launched so it may just be bad timing.

Haha, ok just turned it on again and got some actual HD content. Much better. :)
