Over the next year in an area-by-area rollout, Time Warner Cable of
NY/NJ will launch "Enhanced HDTV" which includes the cable-exclusive Start
Over(R) service for standard and high definition programs. Start Over(R) is
a service that allows customers to start a program over during its allotted
time slot without the need for a DVR. Customers with HD set-tops will be
able to "Start Over" more than 13,000 standard definition and 1,500 HD
choices a month with the click of a button at no additional charge. By
augmenting its HD content offerings with Enhanced HD features, Time Warner
Cable offers a combination of HD content and features unparalleled by any
competing video or internet provider. Channel locations will be available
on our website at the end of this month. Visit timewarnercable.com/nynj.
"By delivering the most HD choices and Enhanced HD for free to its
Digital Cable customers, Time Warner Cable reaffirms our position as the
preeminent multimedia provider in New York City," stated Howard Szarfarc,
Executive Vice President for the company's New York City region. "The added
capacity for HD channels and content didn't require significant upgrade
expenditures or labor costs, and reflects the robust and flexible nature of
our existing advanced fiber network."
"Unlike with DIRECTV(R), DISH(R) and some telecommunications companies
which charge extra for these HD services, our customers can watch what they
want, when they want, in HD ... for free," added Szarfarc. Current digital
customers can upgrade to an HD set-top at no additional cost. With the vast
majority of our HD channels included free with digital service, Time Warner
Cable offers the easiest transition to and best value in HD of any provider
today.
