Today Time Warner Cable added another group of HD channels, bringing the total available just above 40. The channels should now be available on HD boxes and DVRs. If not, do a manual reboot (hold the power button until you see changes on the screen).

It’s fantastic to see the improving lineup in the HD tier. CableCard customers (Tivo Series 3 and Media Center users), however, still are in the dark as the recent new channels are being delivered via SDV. The hope in the HD community is that the tuning adapters that TWC has announced will enable CableCard customers to receive the channels for which they are paying. ( Sign up for a tuning adapter at TWC’s page). Rochester, NY today became the second TWC market to roll out the adapters.

Here is the current HD channel lineup (asterisk denotes channels not being delivered to CableCard customers)
