When browsing thro Cox's website, I ran across this page on their HDTV plans: http://www.cox.com/Future/hdtv.asp . A call to my local Cox's office got the same "we looking into it, possibly next year" line.
The promise here is interesting. Carriage of local HDTV where available is suggested, which will go a long ways to delivery of DTV before 2006. Interesting also is the promise that the cable STB will be designed for use with "HDTV ready" monitors.
I am aware of ZERO HDTV rollouts on Cox cable at this time. Wonder when it will start? Can't be soon enough for me. I decided to go for OTA DTV and wait for cable rollouts or for Echostar merger to complete to switch to satellite to get non-network HDTV. Still waiting for some serious HDTV, as I can only get NBC HDTV, or PBS HDTV between 7-10 pm.
At least Cox is starting to change their tune. Two months ago the response to "any plans for HDTV" was no!
