HD News: Time Warner playing major catch-up in HD choice arena

It’s a fact that some cable/satellite systems are falling behind in offering a lot of HD channel choice to their customer base. Time Warner recently added 1 movie channel (MGM HD) and that increases their offerings to ….4 whole channels.
