Does anyone have any info on TIme Warner about new channels (besides the Universal HD channel listed below)?

Specifically anything about ESPN2HD or the Fox/ABC channels?

I am ready to jump ship to satellite or cancel the time warner altogether if something isn't announced soon.

Im tired of hearing the "Something will be anounced soon, but I can't tell you what" story from anyone at Time Warner for the past 4 months.......

Nothing has been announced. As far as I can tell both sides came to a stalemate. The problem is that it's not some small tv station wanting more money. It's a policy from SBG and a policy from Time Warner Cable. SBG lose nothing by refusing to give thier HD channels away. Time Warner ends up losing people to satellite all the time. Time Warner is going to have to pony up in the end if they feel that the loss of people due to this conflict is large.

You're more likely to see ESPN2HD show up before ABC/FOX. I'm not sure what the delay is there. It might have to wait till the next contract negotiation between TWC and Disney.
