New York, NY | [TWC] Will HD Channels work on a standard tv?
If I have an HD cable box connected to an analog tv, should the HD channels work? |

SoCal | If the box is configured to receive them AND output them in a format the analog TV can use, then YES. I do it all the time. |

Yeah, I've been getting an error that I'm not subscribed and when I called twc the tech said to give it 48 hrs. I think she just didnt know how to fix it. I should have asked for a supervisor. |

said by jeffnyc  :Is HDNet supposed to be included at no additional charge? In NYC this is part of a 3 channel package costing $9.95.
The package is called:
HDXtra Incl. MOJO, HDNet and HDNet Movies
What a joke for just 3 channels, should be more included. |

| Hmm. Here in Socal that package is $5 and has 4 channels. It also includes HDMusic.
Nevertheless you should be able to get the regular HD channels, like the mainstream networks ABC, CBS, NBC etc and a few other channels included with your digital cable. |

I am in NYC. When I first got the new HD box HDNet was working but my Cinemax OnDemand (which I pay for) was not. When they fixed the Cin OD, I think the HDNet went away.
Anyway, the normal HD channels work, like AnimalHD  |

If you just have a standard definition box, those channels will tell you that you are not subscribed. But an HD capable box with standard def outputs like coax, s-video, or composite WILL show those channels and display them on a standard def tv.
The HD box doesn't cost extra and, like others have stated, only a few channels like HDnet are on the extra $5/mo tier. All the other HD channels are included at no cost as part of the basic digital package.

My parents have an HDDVR and a standard def tv and all the HD stuff comes in for them too. So like others said yes you can get them with an HD capable receiver minus the HD tier which costs extra. Here in my area i think its $3.95. |
