Great news about Time Warner's new channel 704, WTMJ-DT. Thanks WTMJ for bringing HD to the masses! Even the anti-TWC contingent must admit this is a good thing -- more HD viewers = more future HD programming for all.

Will the other locals catch up with WTMJ on cable soon? Sorta surprised WDJT wasn't first...

WTMJ on TWC is a good thing... except..

TWC HAS TO ADVERTISE!!!! What good is it carrying HDTV when nobody knows about it. There are 3 people I met who had HD monitors and I had to TELL them about HDTV on TWC. Well, first I tried getting them to go to DirecTV, but after being scared away by the $450 price tag, I let them know about TWC.

HDTV is going to take longer than ever if every company involved treats it like a dirty little secret.

Alright!!! So far the only thing I can watch in HD is the Sopranos. NBC primetime in HD, that is great!

Gee the last time I watched the Sopranos (granted it's been a while) they were not in HighDef but was letterboxed.....

Don't know about the first two seasons, but all of last season, and the first episode of this season last night was Hi Def AND Dolby Digital 5.1!

Sweet!
