And I don't know how to make it High Definition...

I have a Samsung LN-T4066F. I was watching ESPN2 last night (couldn't find just regular ESPN? I live in Los Angeles so if anyone knows what channel the regular ESPN is, I'd like to know. ESPN2 was 39 I think), and I noticed the screen was stretched so the people were squashed... so I changed the display to 4:3 and then noticed that it looks like Standard Definition. How do I make this a High Definition viewing experience, or can I? Do I need to call Time Warner and ask for a special cable hook-up or something?

Thanks in advance!

Youre probably viewing the SD channel since its channel 39. Look for the HD channel in your program guide, or check the TWC website for your region for a program guide.

Do you have An HD box, because if you don't that might be your problem. if you do have an HD box, then it might be hooked up wrong. It needs to be connected with Component(5 Wires) or HDMI9(looks like a USB Cable). Also if your TV has a QAM Tuner all you to do to get HD from cable is hook up the cable to the TV and do a channel scan. the problem with QAM is that it only gets Unencrypted channels, so if you hook up the cable to your TV and Can't get ESPN HD, it's probably encrypted. Also If your TV doesn't have QAM you need to subscribe to Digital cable to get HD.
